Optical Alu-sion...1AA style

[TranquillityBase]

This light is a gift for my sister-in-law

A big thanks to Data for the Cree optic, Mac for the Cree XR-E, and RV7 for the NiMH three speed driver:twothumbs


Aleph XR can, modified for the RV7 three level NiMH driver. Cree XR-E Q5 WG from Mac (MCPCB trimmed to fit the XR can)

The optic, optic holder, and the LE, thread in as a unit, from the bezel side.

Alignment of the lens is critical! There is a washer below the bezel ring, that grips lens, and holds it dead straight.

The light is bare aluminum, except for the alignment washer, bezel ring, and the tailcap guard.

Thanks Colin.

You should give that cell tube pattern a try. I use a radius cutter (.062")plunge .030" deep, and the vertical grooves are .100" apart, on center.

Thanks for the encouragement Scott.

Although I have made components in the style of the Masters, I have only done so when I thought there was a worthwhile difference to incorporate, like the 27LT style clickie bodies for example.

I can't see anything I would want to change here, and I'm damn sure I wouldn't make such a good job of it too.

Nice work Scott!

Chances are your sister-in-law doesn't know how lucky she is.

At least to have you as a bro-in law, not to mention being the recipient of such a work of art.
