Custom 3x-18650 6061-T6 Flashlight

[Galb]

Here are some photos of my latest flashlights. These use three 18650 LiIon cells, a SSC P7 emitter, and a 3-mode driver. They were made using both 2-1/4" and 2-3/4" 6061 round rod, except for the switch-surround which was milled from 1/2" 6061 plate. Milling/engraving was done on a Taig CNC mill. A Sherline rotary table was used for most of the engraving.
I do not sell these, but rather make them for family, friends, and myself. Enjoy.

Good grief!
Now that's a way to get some attention with your 8th post.:twothumbs.
Beautiful.
Are you sure you won't sell even 1 of them?
Some of us could be very very tempted.

Wow! Awesome looking lights you have there. They look like they're built like tanks too. I'm guessing your running the batteries in parallel?

Are any of your friends and family on CPF that are willing to sell? I kid...I kid. Just saying your lights would probably sell well here on CPF.

The batteries are in series. Here is a link to the thread I just started to show the battery holder I made for these flashlights:

Sorry, have no beam shots or runtimes. On Low, the power consumption is 2W and appears nearly identical to my flashlight using a P60L and two CR123A. On Medium, power consumption is 5W. On High, power consumption is 13.5W and NICE and BRIGHT!

Ha, I just got that you engraved the periodic table for aluminum on those lights. I didn't even notice your avatar...LOL

Very nice work by the way.
