Few pictures of my pelican case, it's a Storm Case iM2700.


First layer is starting to fill up nicely.


Second row houses my chargers and battery meter when not in use.


Dont have anything on the third layer yet haven't decided what I want to put down there.

From bottom, left to right:

TN31mb from OSTS (Modified by Michael with a dedomed XP-G2 emitter, sitting on copper, bead blasted carrier, and whatever other mods that Michael has done)

Creelant 7G5V2 with Collimator head (Modified by yours truly with a dedomed XM-L emitter probably going to Vinh for a facelift eventually)

Dereelight XSearcher (Modified by Vinh with a dedomed XP-E emitter, on copper, direct drive, and whatever else Vinh has done)

Fenix TK75 (Modified by Vinh with dedomed XM-L2 emitters and other modifications)

Solarstorm Raging (Modified by Vinh with a huge custom copper heatsink, direct drive, and whatever else Vinh has done)

Sky Ray King (Untouched.......yet)

From top, left to right

Creelant's normal reflector head for the 7G5V2

Thrunite T10 from OSTS (Modified by Michael with a dedomed emitter)

Eagletac D25C Mini in titanium (Untouched and possibly traded for a nice fixed blade knife)

Jetbeam RRT-01 (Modified by Vinh with a 5000 kelvin temperature XM-L2 emitter and tweaks to the control ring)

Sunwayman V11R (Modified by Vinh with a 4000 kelvin temperature XM-L2 emitter and tweaks to the control ring)

Eagletac D25LC2 (Semi custom by Illumination Gear with a XP-G2 emitter and keeping the XM-L/XM-L2 driver for higher current to the LED)

Eagletac TX25C2 (Untouched for now but it will be modified by Vinh with a dedomed XM-L2 emitter and other mods as well)

The case is a cheap one bought of Amazon for around 30 bucks. It looks identical to the Harbor Freight case shown earlier. I think the lights way out class the case but I'm working on that and will have a pelican or pelican like case soon hopefully.

Thanks for looking!

:D

Whats a good size Pelican for about 8- 6p sized lights and room for maybe an MD4 Malkoff and Wildcat head and another semi larger head and host like a solarforce M53, an i4s charger and a few batteries????

If you were having a hard time cutting foam could you possibly heat up an old pocket/butter knife over a flame? Thats what i do for cutting polystyrene but ive never tried with foam...

Im looking at getting an Armytek Barracuda, thrunite tn31 and about 10 or so of those £3 qree q5's you get on ebay so i can lend them to freinds and take them on our night exercises in the cadets seeing as so many cadets forget/dont own torches torches. Could somebody please suggest a small case that would fit the baracuda and the tn31? ( and even the small no name q5's?) It seems a bit silly seeing as the tn31 comes in a nice case, as does the Barracuda, and the £3 q5's arent even worth protecting, but its for the practicallity. I dont want to have to carry two small boxes and a bag full of loose flashlights :p The cheaper the better and I'd rather buy inside the uk :)

Thanks in advance,
Rex, The current thread killer :oops:

Wow can u give a quick comparison to the TK75 before and after Vihn modified it? Or did u have it modified right at the beginning? I may be interested in that!!

He DIDN'T add copper bonding to it?

Got another one done. Worth doing, just getting the time to sit down and be a bit patient with them :duh2:
All of those cases look great (and a very nice variety of lights as well :)). ! I definitely know what you mean about finding the time though. I still have a case bought a few months ago that's only half finished. :duh2:

Thanks :)

And the 2 bigger cases are Peli Storm iM2050's (the side clips make them real easy to open/close), and the small one is a Peli 1020.

I still have a case sat on the side too...nothing in it but fresh uncut foam. Been there for a while now :( Might have to get some replacement foam's so I can mess with different configurations.

Anyone else do this...have different sets of cutouts ready to change in their cases for different things :confused:

...and a bunch of homeless ones looking in from the outside. Think I need bigger case than my iM2050 which is a superb case!

Very nice Shyan! I also have a number of homeless lights. In fact, I have a spreadsheet for all my lights, and one of the columns shows what case the light is in. I actually have a choice of "homeless". ;)

And I can't end this post without noting that you have an amazing McGizmo collection! :)

Not exactly 100% Flashlights, but here's one of my Pelican Setups.

Enjoy!

Hey Beast,

Sorry I didn't get back to you in a timely manor. PM me next time because many times I unsubscribe from a thread, especially a busy one like this. The TK75 I got directly from Vinh and you would have to email him on all of the modifications done but I can tell you it is a..........Well......your screen name actually. LOL. I think it might be my most fun light I have. I have since sold a bunch of lights and gained another of Vinh's creations to replace the TN31mb. I like Vinh's a little better but I don't have my lights on for a long time otherwise I would have kept the TN31mb. The Fenix though, can stay on for a bit longer not being driven quite as hard as the TN31 he did for me, but utilizing the three emitters it puts out twice the lumens. The throw is half but half of 500k lux is still pretty impressive! It has a warmer tint and if I could do it over I would use a cooler LED to start with to make the final tint a bit cooler. I just sold about 9 lights gained 1 back and I'm now left with only 5. Vinh has modified every single light I have left.

I will be taking this to Alaska with me in May for 5 months. She may not be pretty, but this little Harbor Frieght case is holding an amazing amount of lights (many modded by Vinh), parts, batteries, accesories, and equipment, while keeping them all protected.

Dude,

That case looks nice. I use my Pelican and Anvil Cases like signs. I put large and small stickers of or my company logo and place them on the set where people will see them. A little Public relations can't hurt, plus they have an IDENT in case some fool decides to walk away with it. Also, if it is at a media event it may wind up published by the photo of another photographer. Viola!

You could put some stickers on them. Or something. Even after all these years, I still like stickers. I put Surefire stickers on the lens hoods of my 400 2.8 & 600.4 Nikon Supertelephoto lenses, both on tripods next to my director's chair and took a photo of the set at an Air Force One Depauture Ceremony at the LAX Remote Site and later as I was editing my personal photos (I always take a photo of my set) and thought the Surefire logo in the photo was fantastic. I sent them a copy of one and the PR guy really liked it.

My point is I think things can be dressed up with stickers. So if you have a logo or some art, you can put that on your case, or stickers from the companies you like.

just an idea.

But really, that s a nice looking case.

Best,

NR

Can you spot the odd one out???
