Could it be of some use in the design of your light?

or maybe this https://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut871

Hmmm,
I am using an aspheric lense in my design. But it is intentionally
installed out of focus to deal with the multi-die design of the MC-E.
I did try a small TiR optic like you have in the second link, but it
looked really bad. The first one you listed is basically a rail-mounted
TiR optic, And may do the same thing as the round TiR. But, i havent
tried that yet. And its a bit too big with the usable optical area being
10.5mm :mecry: The Mini is actually thinner than that :grin2:
I wonder if there is a smaller TiR Rail? hmmmmmmm :sssh:

Oh just some ideas involving the artistry of one of our members, who has recently posted in this thread. The back side of this light is like a canvas waiting for his touch.

The main reason I would want a flash drive built in, is to give an excuse to carry the sucker around in your pocket like all the time. I mean you might get some strange looks if you pull out a flashlight at work, but if you say its also your USB drive then its all good. It's a good way to cover up the fact that your a flashaholic. :crackup:

dude... embrace your flashaholicism.. dont hide it.

I'm interested in one, if I can afford it. If it's for sale, I'm also interested in the prototypes, pending a price estimate.

I wonder if one could be made out of oak or hickery and be waterproof and float with a dog whistle incorporated into the design.

Say your out on the boat fishing and youve had a couple shots of makers mark and fall out. You see your chimera floating just in front of you. You grab it and use the dog whistle to summon a pack of wild swimmer dogs to your rescue.

It might sound like a stretch but you never know. Better to be prepared.

Re: Ti Prototype is Finished!! The "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

Thats a 2Gig MicroSD card thats hardwired to a very small usb adapter. It piggybacks the Mini Usb
charging circuit. So when you plu the light in, it charges, and gives you a Storage Drive.
I can get 16Gig cards in there just the same. I am going to offer this as an option for the
light. 200$ is about what it will cost for a 16Gig setup. And the 16 is all i will do 🙂
I just did the 2Gig because it was just laying around looking all lonely......
Keep in mind, this is a prototype, and the final product will be Much Cleaner looking.

Very nice!! :kewlpics: The 16Gb option is a bit out of my price range, but I'm sure some of us will welcome this addition. I know you said that the 16Gb is all that you'll do, but if there were a smaller option in the neighborhood of $50 I'd be very interested.

Glad to see it's only an option. I, for one, would like to keep my lights and drives separate haha. That said, nice work.

I'll admit, I like the flash drive option but in looking at the pics I dont see how your going to be able to put the dog whistle in there. Theres just not enough room.

Maybe we need a vote. Dog whistle or flash drive?
