A few special USL variants!

[bwaites]

In the midst of building the USL's and while waiting for some batteries to arrive, I tore down a couple prototype USL's and one of the old prototypes and had some special coatings applied.

The Maroon lights are Duracoated, a color that I couldn't find a way to recreate any other way.

The others are Electroless Nickel Plated.

Sometime in the near future I will be selling them, and the USL variants will be the first to have the new battery packs in them, as I have five prototype packs in the process of being built.

The larger maroon light runs a 64623 lamp and runs from 12 2500MaH A (not AA) cells.

So a few to whet your appetite!

missionaryman,

I assume you mean the 3" head on the maroon light? That is an Otokoyama head that he designed as a prototype head for the USL project. it is actually a 4 piece head and was designed using a 3" Carley smooth reflector as the head itself with the collar a thread piece with a second, interior threaded piece that allows all kind of movement to capture best focus.

At the time he designed it, I had not yet settled on a lamp, so he gave me as much focus movement as he could.

LongJohn, thanks! As for the LED's, these are BIG BOY TOYS and no LED's need apply! 3000+ lumens, baby!!!
