New MaxHunter

[Z-Max]

My new project is MaxHunter.

Flashlight is designed only for spearfishing. Easy driving with big steel button. Work depth 20-40 meters. It can be shipped more deeply. But thus the button will be pressed.

Consolidation for button made with polyurethane.

2 models in project – MONO and DUO (for different count of batteries).

Driver: MaxFlex (from TaskLed)
Battery: 1 (or 2 in model DUO ) 32650 protected
LED: triple XPG (or XPE) in series on 20 mm PCB
Lens: Carclo 20 mm triple for XPG/XPE. Easy changing.

MONO: Length 145 mm, max. diam 43 mm. Weight on air 300 g (150 in water)
DUO: Length 210 mm, max. diam 43 mm. Weight on air 420 g (250 in water)

Cool looking!

I have lots of questions if you don't mind:

Is that a custom made host? Looks like a good size in the hand. Those are "D" size LiIon cells you using?

Is that a powder coated finish on the body?

You have pictures of the internals? How did you mounted the MaxFlex?

Is the rear button just closes the negative current path?

Looks and sounds fantastic!

Please tell me you are going to produce a few for sale?

Why not go Quad XPG?

Ive been following your creations with much interest.

How are you coming up with all these really good looking torch body's, are you a precession engineer or a CAD designer etc?

It completely independent working out.
Body size is good for mounting on receiver of pneumatic spearfishing gun too.

Is that a powder coated finish on the body?

This is powder painting with Thermal processing 210 deg. С. Moire. Does not slide. Does not shines.

You have pictures of the internals? How did you mounted the MaxFlex?

Inner photos will appear a bit later.

Is the rear button just closes the negative current path?

Rear button press momtentary switch. For counteraction to water pressure on the button the spring is built in (in dry zone). The switch connect negative path from battery to driver's "SWA".

Thank you.

I have some problem with trasnfer money to my country. After NY I will have an assistant in the Netherlands. Then I can accept orders.

With quard XPG operating time is less.

Thanks for an estimation.

I have нigh education as programmer. But last 2 years my business is building flashlight for spearfishing. I am taken by spearfishing and freediving since fifteen years. I use AutoCAD for flashlight designing.

Now designing of underwater flashlight is hobby and business simultaneously ( my dream :) )

Yes I sell flashlight in small quantity (After crisis, this my basic business). Each flashlight have Individual characteristics (color temp, lens etc)
I'm living in Ukraine.
