Photos Of Mac's EDC Lights

[fyrstormer]

I am curious, how is that working out for you? Has the finish and the look of the copper heat sink remained stable? It looks pretty nice in the pictures, it would be interesting to see that treatment to one of Mac's Copper EDC lights.

It's on a piece that doesn't get much handling, since the exposed area is forward of the hand-grip, but other than some slight browning of the exposed copper I see no change in the finish. I had to use a green Scotch-Brite pad to remove the blackening to get the two-tone finish visible in the pictures, and the scrubbed area was a bit shinier at first than it is now, but other than that there's been no change.

I don't think the patina would remain unaffected indefinitely with the scuffing from sliding the light into a pocket after each use, but it's a good way to get the initial patina set-up, so you don't have to put effort into "helping" a completely natural patina form evenly across the surface.

Very good, it certainly looks nice, like a brushed antiquing treatment. I like it.

Okey, a shot for my friend, Tim, as he requested.



Sorry for the white balance. Looks like i didn't set it to the right k. Please bear with it.

[kaichu dento]

I like the collection going on around the lights too!

The light at 2 o'clock with the pattern welded dam head...what's that one? I haven't seen that one before, I don't think!

Cary: Thanks for posting the great photo of all of your beautiful Mac lights. Superb collection.

Tanasit: Excellent!!!!!!

Haha, thanks. Those are really great for sake or dessert wine. Even better if you frozen them first.

Particularly like the white one on the lower left and I've got one somewhat like it that I'll put in the freezer now, or quicker yet, outside!

Sorry then...at one o'clock...with the damascus head.

[jalal20]

Oh well I believe thats the Damascus Tri EDC head on an Unkown host to me

[Obijuan Kenobe]

Well, I am fairly certain that is incorrect given that the 2 o'clock light is a tri EDC also. The head on the light in question is way too small, as is the battery tube for a 123.

Waiting for the real answer.

[jalal20]

I am certain its a Tri EDC head. The one at 2 O'clock is a TRI EDC but on a knurly 26650 Head. Thats why the head of the one at 1 o'clock looks so small

Gary please feel free to help us out in here

[Obijuan Kenobe]

Yeah, you are right. Good call.

[JAYKAY75]

wow, It's so much fun to watch your collection change, very impressive. Funny I did see the patterned Tri-EDC shortly after Mac posted it, and then saw that you got it, and now I already see it here, that's what I call super fast shipping Great addition to your already amazing collection. I see you got rid of your colored lights, I really want one hopefully soon.

I just realized that I have sold 7 of the 10 lights in the OP!

Not sure what I'm doing all of the time. I have sold some gems.

I think I have owned every metal type from Mac except a copper light.

I hope you buy a EDC light from Mac soon JK.

[dbleznak]

Now you have to go with copper. I just got a copper hi-cri Tri (3500k) EDC and I love it !!!

[JAYKAY75]

Yes you did LOL but your collection is still amazing don't worry

You kow what to do right, make sure your next Mac's is going to be a copper one.

Thanks a lot, I'll just start with Al hopefully soon, and then see where it takes me, but I can defenitely see where you're coming from, unfortunately
