Re: Mini Taglight Pre-Pay Sale

Picures.. Clicky to make em bigger


One advantage of having magnets in the light can be seen above. Heck, It even sticks to the corners of steel drywall inserts
IMAG0051.jpg


From Left to Right with G10 on top And Carbon Fiber on bottom, Natural, Green, Fuscia, Brown, Black.
More colors to come :) Every Color i have pictured will be an option on both the CF and G10 :)
IMG_6268.jpg

Since the "Green" G10 i ordered was more of a natural color,
I decided to "Dye" it with a good quality fabric dye.
Good thing is, Both the G10 And the Carbon Fiber can
be dyed ! Woohoo!


The dye will not rub off on anything, and it waterproof :)
Keep in mind that the lighter color you pick, the more light
will show through the G10 with the light On. And the
glowpowder inside may shine through just a little bit when
off. Darker colors will hide the light from the leds and
glowpowder a lot better. Carbon Fiber is totally dark and
not transluscent in any way.

Re: Mini Taglight Pre-Pay Sale

Listed Options
Carbon Fiber
Chain length - to be decided
LED colors - Warmwhite & Coolwhite (may change to Red & Coolwhite depending on answer to question below)
Glow color - Red

Unlisted Options
Trit slot on each side - Only if the slot does not penetrate the case
Preference for stonewashed or BB finish over Satin
No anodizing this time :poke: :devil: :whistle:

I realize you may be trying to keep the cost down and try to make this more of a stock versus custom item (only options of covers, LEDs and glow color!!), but figured I'd throw in a few requests.

What happened to the group of 4 you referenced in the original thread just before you started this one? Any available?

:paypal: now to decide on options, but I do have a few questions

1. Trit slots on side - will they go through the case?
Nope :cool: The edge of the case will be about .120" or 2.75mm
So a standard 1.5mm X 5mm would fit just perfect.
I will throw up some generic locations in the option section later.
2. If I go with red & cool LED does the combination give good color rendition like a warm LED?
I dunno? I will try it out for ya :thinking:
I like the idea of cool for lumens, like the idea of red for night time, but really like warm...

The group of 4 ended up being 3 because i made a misteak milling one,
Hence the reason for a waterjet-cut body in all the production models.
So i will end up with 3, Plus my exposed-led proto. And i would like to use
2 of them in a passaround.. Which leaves me with One, That Dom wants
to gobble up. Dont worry, I will have plenty once the metal gets carved
up at the waterjet place :twothumbs

And Thanks for the Order!!

How long does it take to charge? 2.5hrs if completely dead.
Do you have any info of the CCT of the warm vs. cool white leds?
~3000k for Warwhite and ~6000K for Coolwhite
Are trit slots an option?
Yes. A Pictorial view is being made up to show possible locations.

Re: Mini Taglight Pre-Pay Sale

I am making up the picture for the Tritium locations for ya'll...
As for the finish.. Beadblasted and Satin are the only choices
that are doable with this light. Stonewash is not in the cards :sigh:
Some of you asked about a Full Ti light. I cannot do that without
completely re-designing the body. It would have to be about
1/4" wider, and 1/4" longer to accomodate the screws to hold
the covers on. I couldnt secure the covers with epoxy like the
current design because i would never be able to open the light
up to service it if anything happens to the electronics. As it is,
The flexible CF and G10 covers can be removed, and replaced
without too much hassle. Actually, If i have to open the unit up,
I would just put new covers on it anyways.

Also, there will be an assortment of colors to choose from in
tastie G10 flavors... Pink, Red, Yellow, Black, Silver Twill, ..........

More updates to come :thumbsup:

Re: Mini Taglight Pre-Pay Sale

I posted some more colors on the G10 and Carbon Fiber.
Both are easily dyed with a good fabric dye. So i used the
natural colored (very light green) G10 and dyed it for ya'll.
Check out the pics in post #2. Keep in mind that the lighter
color you pick, the more light will show through the G10 with
the light On. And the glowpowder inside may shine through
just a little bit when off. Darker colors will hide the light from
the leds and glowpowder a lot better. Carbon Fiber is totally
dark and not transluscent in any way.
