Fred Pilon PhontonFanatic Picture Thread

[J Smyth]

Someone on another thread had mentioned about starting a picture thread of Flashlights that have been made by Fred Pilon aka PhotonFanatic. I thought that would be a good idea too, so here we go.

I met Fred last year on line for the first time. I have acquired a couple of his LPK's (La Petite Killers). I made some leather necklaces with gold findings so I now will have one with me at all time. I also gave one to my wife. As many of you know Fred's attention to detail is amazing. His lights arnt half bad either. I now have an order in with Fred for a one of a kind lite that he will be making me in the future. I cant wait..........

Here's my current 2 LPK's that are absolutely wonderful!

So let's see your PhotonFanatic lights.

Cheers, Jim

A phew of Phred's phinest:

A golden Groovy!.......

I gotta get me another Groovy!.......
Is this plated by Modamag Donn....?

[donn_]

Dunno for sure if it was a Modamag job, but I imagine it was.

24KT plating.

Bright in every way!

[lumafist]

Very, very nice.....!!

Oh, crap....!

Now my wife even says that I could use one of those "petite" ones....
I guess she has lost her marbles...... (finally...)

These are aswell quite inexpensive IMO...!
And let me say Phred thay are exceptionaly done..... (spelling??)


Very nice...!

antc_tw2002,



Nice photos, great montage!


donn,

Actually, I had about six pieces of the Groovy gold plated. As you know, they are beautiful to look at, but impractical as a working light.

Hey Hopple is that a Canon Powershot ?? Nice....

I just want to say that Fred is amazing! I heard a while back that he wanted to focus on machining flashlights. I was looking for his great LED emitter sales again, but I ran into his website. This thread was my first glimpse into what he has created and I am just blown away! These are some of the most beautiful lights I have seen in a long while! The detail... the designs... the finishes... they are... wow! I am sorry for the over-use of the explanation point, but they just felt right!

Is that Tasklight Two one of Fred's creations? If it was gold plated, I would finally start selling most of my creations for one. I am not a McLux or other premium light owner because I am poor, but I would sell my soul for a gold Tasklight Two! The knurling facets just make it twinkle so nicely already. I hope I am not coming off as crazy or sound like I am overreacting...

EDIT: Oh, and aljsk8's flashlight shown in his avatar ties with HoopleHead's light for being my second favorite. He He... the reflection is nice, but I think the whole flashlight is nicer...

[PhotonFanatic]

Hey, Tony -- Hooplehead's piece is not a flashlight -- it is a Thinker's Toy, sort of like a worry stone, but given what was in the reflection, I don't think Hooplehead has too many worries.

[Gryloc]

Ha ha. How foolish of me. Obviously I wasn't thinking. It looked so shiny and high tech that it could pass as a flashlight. Maybe it can be modded into one...

[aljsk8]

i think there are a lot of freds best not here yet - maybee fred should post his own photos?

[DaFABRICATA]

HoopleHead.....You've got me thinkin about what you actually DO with that "Thinkers Toy!......

Excellent pics everyone!!

This is a great thread!
Can't wait to see more!

[PhotonFanatic]

I think I've done that already in this subforum, no? Or you can always visit my website, although I need to add the DG light build to it.

[aljsk8]

wow ive only just seen that link to the website!

not sure about the great britain comment
you godda admit my light has its quirks but when its
in your hand you cant deny it gives you a nice feeling

you need to add indian princess and ti con........ whatever it was called
the splash anodised jobs and the dg light

and im sure there are probably a few more

the site is in my favorites now!

Here is my new Hematite Black PVD Coated Titanium La Petite Killer.

First picture shows a comparison with the size of Photon X-Light Micro):

[greenlight]

I want to know why he's bothering to photograph the light?!?

[AlexGT]

Wow! Looking at the reflection I would not be taking pictures at a flashlight, In fact I would not be taking pictures at all!

NICE!

[DaFABRICATA]

I want to know why he's bothering to photograph the light?!?

I have no doubt he has other pics that can't be posted on CPF..

Feel free to PM me those..


Freds light designs are awesome!

[deusexaethera]

I have a Tasklight Two as well as a La Petite Killer



Eric

Damn, the TL2 looks even better in that pic. I didn't realize the nickel plating was so shiny.

[deusexaethera]

I want to know why he's bothering to photograph the light?!?

He wasn't photographing the light. He was using the light as a mirror to surreptitiously take a picture of the nice lady without her getting pissed off.

Hell, it took me about five times before I even noticed it.

[jch79]

I'm going to do a FPPFFP (Fred Pilon Photon Fanatic Family Portrait) when one more light gets here, but in the meantime, here are some photos:













Still have a couple of Fred's lights that have been shy around the camera - that'll have to change!

Great thread idea!
