I'm interested, please add me to the list. Can you post a picture of it in your hand for size reference?

Thanks

Here ya go !

Uhm, I have Big hands by the way...

There are enough pics in the first post anyways..

I am working with a new machinist to get a CNC Prototype out to show
you all what a "Machine Made" version will look like

Thanks Sabrewolf! I thought I had a pretty good idea of the size until you said you put it in your jeans watch pocket. It is smaller than I thought, I like it!

The CNC prototype will be slightly bigger.. About 0.08" around the perimeter.
It needs to be that way to accomodate the oring seal under the lid.
But if i showed you both lights seperately, you wouldn't really notice.
I will have pics as soon as i can.

Any Comments?

Simply awesome. I love those warm and/or high CRI colors.

Couple thoughts:

You said you're heating your basement with the clothes dryer discharge. It's an ELECTRIC dryer, right?

Please give that LiIon battery the attention it deserves, i.e., use a dedicated charging chip or at least something that follows the LiIon charging guidelines. Here's a good primer.

Yup Yup, the warm white is awesome!

The N.G. Dryer only emits water vapor as exaust. And my basement
is drafty anyways

As for the charging.. I have a charging I.C. specifically made for
li-ion/poly batteries incoorporated in the light

Wow!

This is an impressive light!

A few thoughts:

1. The Mini is the way to go--please put me in for one!

2. For Sgt. LED's light name, how about "El Pasodoble"? (means "double step" in Spanish...)

3. I am excited about Titanium in part because of the general excitement about Titanium... but I would agree with FsTop and a few others that if a beautiful raw Aluminum version existed, especially at a lower price, this would be an extremely sexy version. Totally looking like a MacBook! Plus cheaper, easier to machine, and with almost 10x the heat dissipation properties...

Sabrewolf, this is some exciting stuff you have going on over there! What's crazy is that I have been hungry for some real innovation in lights and am just now discovering the custom community--it is just what the doctor ordered!
