I may have overlooked it a bit, but how did you plan to waterproof this light? Would there be a bead machined out of the main housing perimeter which would accomodate a gasket/o-ring type seal?

Also, at $350-ish I'm interested to be on the list if not too late of course. :rolleyes:

I think i will do 5-10 members with a max time of 3 days each.
You all can do a writup and comparisons to your other Edc's
against the Chimera Mini for all too see. I guess the shipping
between each member will have to be insured. And "if" you
want to buy the light, then the shipping costs you incurred will
be deducted from the final price.. Of course you would need
to have the reciept from the shipment...
Still pondering it though :thinking:

Added!!

The Entire top cover will have a silicone backing for water proofing.
There will be 5 screws in the top cover to secure it down.
And the light will be fully servicable by any capable person.
There will be options for the light, Ie,
A Money clip, Picatinny rail mount, Belt clip similar to cell phones,
A magnet mount, 1/4-20 mount for camera tripods, and a really
nice Handmade and embossed leather belt pouch. More to Come!!

Re: New Pics And Member List Added "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

Cool thanks for the add. May I humbly make the suggestion to please DO NOT USE phillips head screws for holding the cover on. On a light such as this (I know titanium isn't exactly exotic, but it's certainly nicer than aluminum :naughty:), nothing would chafe my skin more than having a cheap looking phillips head screw which could easily strip, or have the screwdriver head slip out and scratch the light. I'd advise either button-top or flush-countersunk allen or torx head fasteners for this light. My .02

Re: New Pics And Member List Added "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

I have been looking now since the start of this thread. This is a great out of the box design. I was not sure about the slim rectangular design until I remember that I always grab my Spy when I need a light. I also like the idea of being able to EDC a light in my back pocket. I like the idea of the all Al just for the cost difference.

Please add me to the list.

Thanks Rob

Sabrewolf-
Very interested- great to see thinking outside the box. Very impressive. Please put me on the list, and let me know about both versions, the TI as well as the AL. Thank you! Great looking light!

Good gravy! Sabrewolf, you are an artist of the highest caliber!
Confession: I have been excited about this light but was not totally sure I would love it... I think somehow those initial hand-made prototype pics conjured the image in my mind that it would somehow lack polish... (totally unfair, I know, I know... but it was a tiny little sentiment)

Until now.

I am flabbergasted! The images are spectacular! This is really shaping up to be a legendary light! And your ideas are so cool and so cutting edge!! Anyways, not to sound like I am :bow: or :drunk: or
