I made it from a thick piece of Lexan


and Aluminum



These are for the first generation 1010 without the "rib"

[dlmorgan999]

Very nicely done!

[Monocrom]

Indeed. That's some excellent DIY battery-holder.

I agree that Lexan looks amazing. I think it would rattle a bit though.

I have a few more cases back in the states (I'm stationed in Guam). I just picked up a 1170 for my Surefire lights but haven't got around to plucking the foam. Like many here I'm a firearms enthusiast too.

got my first big pelican case today, a 1500. all my lights in there except the ones I EDC or want to sell in the near future.

[borealis]

The shiny one next to nano looks like a Thrunite TiKey.

[mr.lumen]

thanks.

ok so im buying a 1500 and i want to make two layers of pick n pluck foam. the foam it comes with is the top and bottom and then a thick pick n pluck to fill the center correct? i figured buy it with no foam and then buy the proper set up but where/what do i buy so that i have like two 2 inch pick n pluck layers with a thin solid layer between and then the egg carton on top and bottom?

really appreciate the help guys.

My first Pelican cases were yellow (1400, 1500, 1010), black (1120) and orange (1120). After that I bought 4 OD-green 1200 cases from lighthound and finally got to the point I couldn´t stand the boring yellow and so on. So I bought three cans of Krylon Camouflage spray paint (khaki, olive, brown / totally matte) and started painting my 1400 as well as both 1120 and the 1010. Unfortunatelly the khaki was empty very quick (lasted for the 1400 and one 1120). I used the khaki for the complete case and used olive and brown one after another with some leafs to get the camouflage look. I am really pleased how it turned out, at least with the khaki (the 1120 on the right is a little too dark in person).

Now I have to wait a week until the paint gets chip resistant until I can put them to use again. If it holds up good I´ll get two additional khaki cans and will paint my 1500case too.

Hi there,

How did they turn out,does the paint stay on there?

I’ve decided thatit really doesn’t make sense to take my big case of lights everywhere, so I putthis briefcase together. She ain’tpretty, as I was using foam pieces together vs starting with a large piece, butit has worked out really well this summer.

I don´t own the lights you want to put in but this pic might help you anyway. The megallennium body is slightly larger in diameter and slightly shorter than the M6 body. The leef body is a 2x18650=4xCR123A while the M3T is 3xCR123A. Both Lumens Factory turbo heads might have a slightly smaller diameter then the M6/M3T head. If you pack it a little tighter then I did you should be fine with a 1400 I think.

And while I´m at it.... my 1170 Pelican repacked with my pocket rockets EDC rotation.

[sidecross]

i recently bought a pair of these cases, the 1010 for my batteries and the 1200 for my Collection but realized that it wasn't big enough... so i gave it away to my parents. But i'll be getting something bigger in the week coming for my SF m3 collection.
Anyways, here's are pictures of my yellow 1010.


its essentially a care package for my L6 that i carry with me just incase of a major emergency is to happen and there is no power or light for a few days (case in point, Katrina)
Odd thing is, this case seem like it was meant to carry cr123 batteries.
Standing the cells up you can fit 24 of them comfortably.

what do you guys think of my kit?

I use the Pelican 1030 case to store 24 Surefire 123 batteries; I keep two ready to travel while one Pelican case of 24 is in use.
