I don't want to give away too much information about this prototype project I have been working on. I have been wanting to build a head like this for a while just never had the chance to get one finished. Well, I have finally finished a prototype that fits onto the C-Flex battery tubes. My prototype is direct drive (my preference), but they can be made with a 5 mode converter also. Hi-Med-Low-Strobe-SOS. I know people don't really care much for the strobe or SOS but that is how it was programmed. If I could get one programmed that is just three modes I will. Since this is in a prototype stage I might have a ilttle time to do that.

Some specs:

length - 4-1/2" long
Tube Dia - 1-1/4 dia with slightly raised Knurling
Head Dia - 1.990 dia with thin crenulated bezel.

Module is screwed into the head from the front (lens side)
Produces a min of 600 lumens on a single Li-ion C-size battery
Creates plenty of flood with a nice tight hot spot beam (20mm reflector')
Much tighter hot spot than a P7 or MC-E with a 27mm Reflector
Since it throws farther is seems much brighter than a P7 or MC-E (actual output has not been tested, just visual)

These will probably be Hard Anodized Black or EN Plated. Still undecided.

I will attach some pictures for you guys later today when I get home. I will also include some Beam Shots showing the Difference comparted to an MC-E & P7.

Hope there is enough interest in this to do a small run of these lights. Compared to the lights I have here this thing is amazing.

Pictures coming soon!:poke:

No pics for me too. :shrug:

I'm interested in heads for my C-flex bodies. I don't know if I'll need another body for the fact that I own about 5 or 6 bare aluminum units. A complete anodized package might work for me though.

Pics are up! Thanks Chris!
Did you mention the reflector that you're using in the proto head?

This is not too bad of an Idea. But I think it is even something better. :ironic: I might reveal the front view tomorrow. But as you know it uses only a 20mm reflector.

:poke: Could this be a tri-cree XR-E using McR20 reflectors? :thinking:

I was going to guess one of the 1000lm Ostars, but that hot spot looks too well defined, and running that well off a single Li-ion (even a "C") would require an interesting driver. Maybe a Tri-FluPIC and a tri-Rebel Endor Star?

The 27mm head looks great on the C-Flex body!

If it uses only one 20mm reflector why are you then using a 2" head? :thinking:
:poke: Tri-Flupic, one McR20 and two aspheric lenses then? :whistle:
