All that glitters is too gold. All the latest

Very nice shiny collection Lux.

Is that second light from the left a FM light?

Re: Bling Bling

This could lead to a "bling-off" with some of the led guys with gold plated brass lights on the Peak sub-forum.

Edit: It is now 2nd from right he was asking about:

Thanks. No, I bought that from slimshady here who had RCRCAT do the milling and Modamag did the plating.

Edit: I included those two this time:

I forgot to include my real gold on brass AA light, and the MillerMod from this thread.​

Oh, I like THAT.

Has so many 24K gold-plated lights, he forgets about them.

(beautiful stuff, btw)

Now that is some serious gold! Sweet lights, Lux :twothumbs I'd be too afraid of damaging them in use, though. Do these get playtime outside of the house?

Re: Bling Bling

So shiny~ it seems to be luxury items, how about insurance for them?

btw... I will try this pic to charge to "rosegold" hehe.

All that glitters is too gold. Just got the middle 623. Now to outfit it with a Jimmy.

Sweet, Lux. Now I see why you bought all those regulators. You've got quite a stable of lights. If you have 8 gold plated lights, I don't want to know how many non-gold ones you have.
I'm building the multi-level instructional document this weekend, so you can pull all of those D1 modded switches apart and go to a 3 level UI. Just cause you have so much free time.

WOW - those are amazing! Just think - if you had been a fan of James Bond villains rather than Superman ones, you could have chosen the name Goldblinger instead of LuxLuthor. :nana:

Re: Bling Bling

Lux, those are beautiful lights. I wouldn't normally be a bling fan but when it comes to collecting and building the worlds most "tricked out" incans, you're the man. Every time I see your lights it makes me want to get a gold plated one added to the collection.

Re: Bling Bling

Fabulous picture, LuxLuthor, and beautiful lights. What an incredible collection of gold plated custom lights you have! Congrats on your new Maxim 623, I love the looks of it.

Re: Bling Bling

Wow! That IS impressive. Why is it I'm thinking when someone asks to borrow a light, those stay locked in the safe?

Re: Bling Bling

I took the new Maxim 623 apart. FiveMega is pretty darn clever with his bulb holder installation, but I think there is enough room to "Jimmy" it. I don't want to photograph his custom made parts, but it is pretty slick, and yet allows further customization.

I have had a chance to admire the function, shapes, and design. Aesthetically compared to all of his previous mods, I think this is his crowning achievement. It is really a special light, and with a "Jimmy," could be used for a wide variety of bulbs. It has a lot more flexibility than being locked into a 64623.

Re: Bling Bling

Oh my.

Now, unless you have made TWO gold-plated FM3X's, then I think LL might be opening his wallet again soon...

EDIT - reading the various sale threads, I can see it's actually a different M6-fitting head.

A work of art.

Re: Bling Bling

How could I possibly resist FiveMega's artistry? Now I have to reshoot the OP photo. LOL!

Re: Bling Bling

Those are truly beautiful works of illuminatory art! :thumbsup:

Re: Bling Bling

Holy smoke FM!! I like how you only handle it with a microfiber cloth. That would be me as well...lol
