Hey guys,
Just wanted to share this with you.
I've always been a big fan of the older McLux lights, especially the McLux PR. Of course these had their draw backs, most noteably, their lack of Aleph flexibility.
I've been thinking about this project for sometime, but it took the interest of a fellow CPFer, who is just about the worst of the flashaholics, to get me moving on it.
This is what wound up dropping out of my lathe.
It is a McLux look alike, of sorts. Although it closely resembles a McLux PR, we opted to go with a sleeker looks by omitting the fins in the head. We also decided to go with the Aleph bezel ring system. It think it does a better job of keeping the water out.
The best part of this head is that it's Aleph LE compatible and sports a standard McR27 reflector.
I used an Aleph bezel ring, for the purposes of testing, but I'm going to turn a glow bezel ring for it to finish it off.
It's really nothing mind boggling, but I thought that it had an air of nostalgia about it and I just wanted to share.
Thanks for looking,
