Sold/Expired Sigma Customs

That is the direction I'm leaning, I have some of the proper size gaskets on order and I'm gonna run one or two with the wider bezel bore. The reason it came to my mind recently, is I have a hybrid Okluma that I put a fluorosilicone ring in, and I keep noticing a blue ring in the beam from light reflecting off the ring. Also, I think that the bezel tend to look better with more of the optic on show.
The downside to switching to gaskets is the fluorosilicone ring option will end up being for thread rings only, as the watch gaskets are black.

I'm overall happy with the hosts at this point, but there are a couple alterations I want to do yet, including adjusting the size of the 18500 host to better accommodate IMR or protected 18500 cells, and running a different chamfer angle on the grip rings.

I took a break from studying for finals, and re-did calculations for light prices taking into account tooling costs, materials, and time that is more up to date, and have adjusted the prices a bit. The regular three metals have been adjusted up a little, and Al-Bronze and Titanium have been dropped $25 each.

All of the above sound good to me. I will say though that if you do go with the gasket as a standard practice I'd like to drop the Fluorosilicone and blue boot option from my 18650 light if you don't mind.

If I do offer the gasket as standard practice, the fluorosilicone option will be for the threads only, and will be complimentary for those who want it, till I run out of what I have on hand, then it is strictly viton o-rings which hold up better.

What size are the fluorosilicon rings?

Edit: found out. #17 and 18.

Great idea to do an open bezel with more of the optic exposed!! Will you have a master updated list, so we know where we are on the list?

Thank you,

Steve

The list is up to date by material, so you have a better idea of where you stand.
Current lineup will be based on materials I have on hand, probably the order below starting with titanium as everything is set for titanium at the moment.

4-5 Titanium
1 Al-Bronze
5 Aluminum
4 Copper

Hello everyone, an update on the 371D option, Serge has fallen through on offering 219Cs himself, so I will have to send him LEDs for that option. This adds a substantial chunk of time to acquisition of 371Ds equipped with 219Cs (3 weeks so far on first batch and the LEDs haven't even reached him yet), so those who would prefer XP-Ls please change your 371D option to 371D-X.
The XP-Ls will be either 4000k HI or 4500k redomes, I have no control over which he has on hand when I place an order.

Is it possible to switch to Knurled Al-bronze? Really liking the look of the Al-bronze finish.

Sure, I'll change the entry.

Once you are adding orders again I'd like to be added to the list.

Aluminum 18650, knurled, clip, LUXRC

thank you

 

[kitman22]

Sure, I'll change the entry.

Thanks very much!

The list is closed for now, I want to get some cleared before I log anymore reservations.

After some rather bad luck with knurling and some busted wheels, I decided to try another grip pattern.
This one will be called an Acme grip, and if you would like it instead, change the Ringed to Acme in the reservation sheet.
18500 in Titanium with Acme grip,

The bezels will now be done in 20mm with the black flat gaskets and the o-ring option will be removed from the list. If you would still like fluorosilicone rings on the threads they will be free till I run out, and you will just have to mention it when I send an invoice for a finished light.

The new bezel with a flat gasket,

Whoa, that looks great! Honestly, no matter the reasoning, I think both of those changes are big improvements to the lights design and ergonomics. Ugh, I may need one...

You still offer copper?

EDIT:. I see that you're not taking new orders. Guess I'll circle back later.

 

[jdboy]

The newly designed bezel really looks great. The Acme grip looks like it would aid in grip but I can't seem to decide if I like it better (aesthetically) than the standard ringed version.

 

[Thetasigma]

Thanks guys. Between the two grips the Acme wins hands down for grip, not even remotely close to the same. I actually find the Acme to be a better grip than knurling short of skin shredder knurling.

 

[nfetterly]

Changed to Acme grip.
Also decided to go Al-Bronze instead of Al.
Was able to change the Al-Bronze to a dark red fill, but not my name. Presume that the name is locked for editing...

Thanks!

I can vouch for the effectivness of the "acme grip"! It's used on the Mcgizmo Haiku. It the most grippy light I've owned (I've owned lots of knurled lights) It has a unique, but wonderful feel to it!

Ok this has helped with my decision as I plan on actually using/carrying my Sigma lights and grip will be important. I'll be updating my 18650 version.

On another note: Will the Glow sticker be compatible with the 371D driver? If not just let me know and I'll remove that option from my specs.

it may be possible to modify the glow sticker to work, but additional holes would be needed.
would need accommodations for:

1. the secondary color LED tower
2. sensor for programming the modes
3. bounce back sensor
