Post your one-off Customs!

[mvyrmnd]

I've recently fallen in love with a couple of one-of-a-kind customs and modifications. These are lights that have been made for love, not for profit.

I'd like to see what other gems are floating around in CPF-space.

Mine are:

Stainless Steel SST-50 EDC built by ma_sha1

With a Trit



Brushed Triple Rebel ARC by spc





Show me your lovelies, your pretties, your unique masterpieces!

Nothing to show off? No one?

 

[hotlight]

none here

yet:devil:

most "custom" light I have is:
lf2xt natural, with trit button and ti clip

also,
ZL H501G (custom green led)

those aren't in the same "league" tho, I know.

Here's an all brass Franken-Peak Pyrenees XP-G in RCR-123A. Not exactly one-off since anyone with the Peak lego parts can do it, but it is dolled up with a Peak Caribbean 2XAA tail-cap and Peak momentary switch.

Dont know if this qualifies. its my E!E with McTC cap, and Steve's neutral XP-G 2-mode tower.

 

[mvyrmnd]

If it's the only one if its kind, it certainly qualifies!

Man, I've made a few mods here and there. All of them are unique as I've never made the same light twice so far. My favorites:

My 9N LED conversion
3D DD SSR-90 Mag that I built for bigchelis
2C DD dual Luxeon TFFC Mag that I built for bigchelis
I just finished putting a copper heatsink, MC-E, and Ledil Iris optic into an Electrolumens Blaster 2D direct drive from 3 Ni-Cad batteries. I didn't take any pictures of it nor did I post anything about it until now.

The one on the left is a simple cut-down Mini-Mag running the Nite Ize 3-LED drop-in. It puts out around 3 lumens on a fresh alkaline. I'm going to drop one of datiled's 2 transistor battery drainers in there when it arrives. The black cut-down is awaiting an emitter. It's getting a Shiningbeam 3-mode driver and an XP-G but I might bore it out for a CR2. The blue one is a cut-down Mini-Mag that I built for my grand nephew. It's using a 3-LED drop-in as well. The blue one on the right I built for my daughter. It's got a Sandwich Shop Mad Max Plus, XP-G R5, and Nite Ize IQ switch. BC measured 215 lumens out of it with a clickie tailcap. The IQ tailcap drops that down to around 110 lumens on high. I made the heatsink on that one.

PCC, That's what I'm looking for!

Good stuff.

I have only one of these - the World's Cheapest Mule Minimag lego. It's a nite-ize 3LED reflector, a Terralux Cree dropin, and an IQ switch. It produces a 170° flood which is astoundingly useful for up-close work. All told, building one will set you back less than $40 and leave you some leftover lego parts.

Here is my Tiablo A9 Aspheric based Thrower. It uses a Solarforce body, Surefire McClicky, AMC 1.4 Amp driver, and a WH bin XRE-R2 EZ900 die LED. I built a custom heat sink and bonded it in place after carefully fine-tuning a very tight press-fit to the body. Does 121,000 lux. Runs for 2 hours on an 18650. Quite pocketable too at 5.8" long (not including GITD boot)

how about this? I modded my catapult with neutral tint. very easy, even for me. so far im the only one that has done it, but its so easy there are probably more people out there that have also. i can throw it on the stove and customize the ano. LOL
