Oh. If anyone has an Icon Rogue lanyard they no longer want, do let me know, willing to trade or buy.
Be a Light In the Universe
Here's all my lights in my new Curio cabinet.![]()
Stoli. Ok. I know this is your thread but seriously?
I am so envious of the lights on this thread that I actually go out and spend ~700 bucks on a camera. (Sony Nex 5n) I know nothing about cameras. I then buy a macro lens kit. It was cheap, granted. Then, after I've had tons of lights, but only have a few remaining, I decide to take pictures of them. I am proud, and kind of figure out the macro lens thing... Then I post. Within a day you post a picture of an HDS loaded with trits. I would fight Rocky for my Rotary to look like that shit. That thing is incredible. Got to go and show me up. Man. You have one hell of a collection. Keep up the good work for.. For inspirational purposes at least!
Tommygun45 your post cracked me upHard to keep pace with stoli67.
Here's my modest contribution. SWM V10R Ti, McGizmo Ti pocket clip (casehardened), half the grooves turned down on the battery tube.

Sorry guys... I am proud of this one.... It has been a work in progress for months.... I broke half a dozen trits putting them in and taking them out when I was not happy with them... They were initially set above the bezel surface ...
It has taken some work to reset them deeper.... Including buying a diamond dremel bit to cut into the reflector.... And several bezels....
Currently I have two more bezels with reflectors orings and lenses at precision works.... Barry is going to intentionally cut too deep... Right though the bezel and just into the reflector...
The centering ring and lens and orings need to be removed prior to milling.
Then the centering ring gets cut into pieces and glued into the bezel between the trit slots!
Then lens, orings and reflector go back in..... Carefully lining up the cuts in the bezel and reflector...

This is an understatement. I worked on this project months ago and concluded that setting the trits flush was impossible. Stoli refused to accept that it could not be done & came up with the method he describes. What he outlines in a few paragraphs took untold hours of experimentation before the solution was found.Sorry guys... I am proud of this one.... It has been a work in progress for months....

One of the most impressive trit mods I've ever seen on CPF![]()

I wonder if digging in deeper to get the trits in-laid better hasn't compromised the strength of the body? Because this is what I thought this light was all about, as in could it be dropped/thrown around and not crack or now go 66 feet under water and still be guaranteed.
But in saying that I've never held one.
Beautiful lights.
Here's a current photo:

Just a little more bling for the SWM V10R Ti ...
After the milling work is done the edges are razor sharp. The bezel is polished with white buffing compound to soften all the sharp edges. That makes the bezel mirror shiny & the finish has to be cut back & blended with the rest of the light. One benefit is that the SWM etching is gone & the light is as clean as any custom.
Added three trits to the forward battery tube collar. 2x6mm is shown but 1.5x5mm or 1.5x6mm would work just as well & 2x8mm would also fit.
EDIT: Angled the front of the bezel to give it a different look:
And a couple of dark shots:

I like using the regular or Turbo Flat tails. They tailstand for one. And they would not activate when I sat in the car and the light got pinched in my pocket on max one time. I tell you it was only moments before I was needing to pull over and shut it off to stop the heat.
