    A new spin on the custom light..... Tek Lights

    Just thought I'd post a quick update. I have been working hard, getting familiar with my new CNC machine and fine tuning the light. I'm almost ready for the first batch but still have some kinks to work out. I will be making a thread in the custom light WTS section when the time comes. Until...

    Thank you archimedes, I had been meaning to post those numbers but did not get the chance to look them up. I am using d400 bin emitters from mtn. For this light, I am more concerned with run time of modes as opposed to output. It is my opinion that we have reached a point where we no longer...

    Unfortunately I don't have a way to measure output at this time. Of course, output is completely customizable with the h17f driver. I've primarily been using nichia 319a 80cri 5000k.

    aginthelaw, Higher praise I have not had, and I feel guilty even being grouped with such high end makers. I appreciate the encouragement. It's funny how a product can be viewed so differently than I see it in my head. I have been focused on producing a light since March of last year and it...

    Keitho now that is some constructive feedback! -No doubt the screw is the backbone of strength. Without it, I would not even consider selling these. As it stands I feel confident in offering a lifetime warranty on clips. -I would love to add a magnet but not sure where it would fit in at...

    I was trying to think of how to test my pocket clip. I figured the best way to demonstrate is to compare it to a well know pocket clip. I think we may have a new flashlight sport! Here is my personal light after over 6 months in the field. This shows the most damage sustained to the bezel...

    A new spin on the custom light..... Tek Lights

    Thank you. The clip is 3d printed from glass reinforced nylon. One day I hope to have the equipment to machine such a part. TBH, it would be a tremendous waste of material and lends itself better to injection molding. Mods, is it possible to move this to the custom builders section...

    Thanks nbp. Torture testing will definitely be coming. For now I will post a pic of my personal light that has been dropped countless times onto concrete and still looks quite sharp with it's original clip(has had many snags). The durability of the clip, I feel, needs to be seen to be believed...

    Bill, Are you referring to the material failing in use or the thermal limits of the design? It certainly is not meant to be a power house. I have seen no issues with extending use on hi up this point, having used it daily for 6 months or so. As I stated I would like to conduct some proper...

    A new spin on the custom light..... Tek Lights

    I started out with a seperate pill and retaining ring, but have since combined the two. The pill retains itself, the reflector and lens in the head with an also common 017 oring. Assembly is done by seating the pill into the oring and then 3/8 of a turn. This produces about 20% o-ring squish...

    A new spin on the custom light..... Tek Lights

    Thanks for the kind words. I will take some pictures of the internals tonight. As far as runtime, this design is of course thermally limited. I have been sending lights out with a hi mode of around 800ma tailcap draw. It seems to be able to sustain this, though I do need to do some testing. I...

    Hi all! I find it hard to believe how long I have been a member here! In this time I have mostly been a lurker, soaking up all the amazing information, reviews, custom builds and just general content. I would get in and out of the hobby as life permitted. Recently, I purchased my first house...

    Help identify this high cri pen light

    Did a quick search and it looks like the matchpen uses 2aa cells. I will end up waiting weeks for this light because the tool guy is horribly slow at ordering from the catalog.
