Project Genesis - Sky Lumen Nguyen (It's Here!)

Re: Will you support my 1st light? "Project Genesis"

Great throw AND great flood would be epic. Best of both worlds in one light all made in the USA. I'd want one for me and for my loved ones. It wouldn't be the Ultimate in either category, but it could become the best all-arounder

I'm excited! I'm in!

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.

Stay tuned for more updates ;-)

Those 7075 facts got me even more excited about the upcoming Fireflies ROT66. That 7075 aluminum is a nice touch! Enthusiast grade for sure-- glad Skylumen's first fully manufactured light will have it.

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

Interested. I need flood more than throw, but flood with some reach also appeals. I enjoy my D4's - both the stock optic and wide optic - but wish there were a middle ground that could also sustain greater output than the D4.

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

D4s? ROT66? On that note though I like those lights with the similar medium throw optics that put all their light into a huge hotspot and nothing wasted on spill.

Already emailed you. You definitely have my support.

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

Where'd my posts go? Anyways I'm really digging the facts about the 7075 aluminum. It makes this light a by enthusiasts for enthusiasts type of deal.

I dont have anything in 7075 yet so I cant wait until proto testing.

If you're talking something to rival Surefire, Malkoff, Elzetta etc I'd say yes!

These are big names...If Genesis ever pop up in the same paragraph as these it would already be an honor.

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

The only downside of the 7075 would be less heat conductivity though.

Yes and higher resistivity as well but....Wait for it ;-)

Will count you in ;-)

So, now we know it IS a flooder

Re: Will you support my 1st light? "Project Genesis"

Preliminary data sounds damn promising

Not quite

Re: Will you support my 1st light? "Project Genesis"

This has peaked my curiosity. And sounds like we're not talking about a pocket light either.

Sounds power.

Will it have a Nicha NV4x144Ax option?
