That light is pretty cool. If the price is right, I would be in for one or two of those lights.
Love the anodizing on your light there Chip!
Applevision please add me to the list. 🙂
Added,
Skeptic! Whoo hoo!
Chip,
Great job! :twothumbs - and even though I own more keychain lights than I do KEYS, mark me down for one of your ______ lights! 🙂
:thumbsup: john

Chip, your anodized prototype looks great. It would be real sweet if it can meet
applevision's requested features.
As for possible anodize colors, you can check out this site for possibilities

Specifically, just look at The Eldar section. My personal picks would be the House of Finarfin and The House of the Golden Flower.
What say you,
applevision?
Any of the names would work. You can even go with
Vingilot, the name of the ship Earendil used to bore the light.
Again, I want to give Chip his props. That prototype looks terrific.
fitzDaug, +1!! Yes! I am doing a ****oo nerd dance! Whoo hoo!
Just to reiterate my dream features:
-light and teeny-tiny -- CHECK
-waterproof -- ??
-durable in general -- Looks good!
-brightness, price and runtime are more negotiable...
love the recessed one :thumbsup: - PUT ME DOWN FOR ONE PLEASE (or should i get 2?
😗)
:wave:
Um,
Glenn7, I think I'm going to have to invoke CPF Rule number 4,219: BUY BOTH!
Hey Chip
That looks great. I will need one. Did you get my last PM about the clip?
Thanks

Yes I can see you have been hard at it. The total including in the light right. JK. Thanks
wrencher
wrencher, you are added!
So, to sum up, we now have 30+ people on that list and
many of us are in for MULTIPLE lights! This could be a worthwhile run!
Chip, your work is spectacular!!
Questions/Comments:
1. What is the finish on the prototype light you showed us at the start? That dark, lustrous gunmetal color set my heart aflame! (not to be a fuddy-duddy--I think the more colorful ones are truly artistic as well and very beautiful... but that gunmetal one just looks "weapons-grade", if you catch my meaning...)
2. Shroud vs. no shroud... I LOVE both of your designs, though I will say that many months of carrying an original FF has been fine without the shroud. I also second
Zendude's point that the Light Radius concept is pretty amazing. Seriously, fellas, it's such a cool effect! I guess I'm not sure if the shroud would necessarily ruin the effect... hmmm... Chip, perhaps you could test them for us a bit and use your spider sense on that issue as well. I am a man who loves efficiency and form following function, so if you feel that one is more usable, I am in like Flynn!
3. Batteries/emitter. To have something that lasts long trumps all; though I cannot lie: I have longed for a bit more oomph! Anyway, I leave it to your masterful design and your sense of the "Aha" moment--that point where you feel it's juuuuust right. Same with the 3mm vs. 5mm LED. Use the force--which one feels right to you? Which one gives us "that much more" bang for buck?
4. Twisty vs. FireFli design. A solid twisty design may be the way to go as it might be more reliable than the FF and it has the potential to be truly waterproof--both while on or off. That would be a dream!
Thank you so much--and thanks CPF!!
p.s. Chip--your knot pattern would be so sweet on this little light!

Okay, 100% agree with this form factor as well... I kind of feel like the TiFli should be one version (since I felt Ringlust for it!), and then we could do the Eärendil, imagined by Zendude and named by fitzDaug! The Eärendil could be light or even gold (as Fred imagined) and would be more jewelry-like... while the TiFli (or perhaps we could call it Andúril, (Sindarin for "Flame of the West"!!!!!) would be darker.
