Sky Lumen Nguyen is Here
Hello All,
Nervous but exciting moment for me. I have a very important question for you.
If I build my 1st Sky Lumen light from the ground up would you buy one to support me? I will of course give it all I got to make it as perfect as can be for its intended purposes. It will also be Made in USA with the most premium parts. Thanks!!
A simple Yes, No or May be would GREATLY be appreciated! Alternatively you may Email me at [email protected].

12. USA Premium Viton O RingsFluorocarbons (FKM) – commonly referred to as Viton®, has excellent resistance to high temperatures, ozone, oxygen, mineral oil, synthetic hydraulic fluids, fuels, aromatics and many organic solvents and chemicals. VITON® has a temperature range of -20F to +400F, and provides excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, weather and compression set requirements. The relatively high level of fluorine in VITON® materials allows for exceptional resistance to chemical attack, but with limited low temperature capabilities.
Chemical Resistance:
13. Extreme Torture Tests (Extreme limits demonstration purposes only. Not to be attempt by user)
14. NO-OX-ID Electrical Grade Conductive Grease

Concrete Project Genesis Details:
1. Made in USA - Electronics, Host & Assembly
2. 7075 Aluminum Housing - Most flashlights are made of 6061 Aluminum
- 6061 VS Structural Carbon Steel VS 7075
- Brinell hardness: 95 VS 140 VS 150
- Ultimate Tensile Strength: 310Mpa VS 480Mpa VS 565Mpa
- Shear Strength: 207Mpa VS 300Mpa VS 331Mpa
3. 3mm thick Anti-Reflective Tempered/Safety Lens
- Most lens are 1-2mm. Usually only the big boys like BLF GT and X65 sport ~3mm Lens. Heat treatment characteristic unknown.
- I worked at Northwestern Industries (A glass company) for 2 summers in college.
- Here I learned both glass and will are much stronger when tempered.
- The slow cooling heat treatment process makes the glass tempered and thus under constant pressure from edge to edge.
- Tempered glass are 4 times stronger than regular/annealed glass.
- Strength Example: 1/4" Tempered = 1" Annealed (Impact and scratch resistant improved accordingly.)
- It also break relatively safer into smaller pieces as oppose to longer sharp edges of the annealed.
4. Type III Anodization (Black Color)
- Anodization quality vary from one manufacture to another although most claimed Type III
- I have not yet examine the quality of this USA shop to conclude
- Tail cap thread anodize = Physical/mechanical lock out, no parasitic drain, safe transport
- I discussed General info regarding anodization here
5. Form & Dimensions
- Among shortest in class yet able to accept all varieties of cell length
- Sleek and minimalist with a touch of industrial exterior design
- Minimal laser engravings
- Tail stand & Anti-roll
- Least body housing parts assembly for strength & reliability
- Thick housing wall for strength
- Numerous thread for strength and smoothness
- Double Oring at body ends for reliable water resistance
- Shortest Length ~ 110mm
6. Diving Potential
- High quality O-Rings
- Dual thick Orings at all entry points
- O-Rings lubed all around before assembly
7. Impact Resistance
- 3mm tempered glassed cushioned on both side
- Extra thick housing at high stress impact edges
8. Upgradeable
- Hardware & Firmware future upgradeable
- Hardware & Firmware user config-able
- Flexible forms and functions for multi applications.
9. Battery Configurations
- 1 or 2 21700
- 1 or 2 20700
- 1 or 2 18650
- 2*CR123A
10. Beam & Tint Options
- Thrower - Oslon 6500K, 40SD, XPL HI
- Flooder - 70.2, S351
- Intermediate - 50.2, SST20 SD, 40HD,
- Mule - XPL2, 219c, S351
- 3000K, 4000K, 4500K, 5000K, 6500K, 7500K
11. User Interface
- Shorty Twisty 4 max simplicity and reliability (Diver's Choice)
- Clicky + Deep Carry Titanium Pocket Clip (General & Tactical)
- Optional high current Reverse clicky: From OFF full click turns On, 1/2 press from ON changes level
- Optional FS54 Forward Clicky: From OFF 1/2 press for momentary ON & mode select. Full click turns ON & lock pre-selected mode.
- User Programmable DriverVN4
