Thought I would post my latest light build, a triple XML with hipflex driver and triple cute optics. The battery pack is a 2400mA 14.8v so I should get a couple of hours on full. Mode selection is via a remote thumb switch so i can always have my hands on the bars. There is a stat led mounted on the rear cover to warn of battery voltage getting low.
The light was machined from 50mm square 6061 bar then polished and anodized.
I haven't wired it up yet so beamshots and heat stress testing are still to come.
The complete head comes in at 270g which is more than I would like so a MK3 housing is on the cards to shave some weight. That being said it's 65²in surface area should thermally perform very well and since I live in Australia I need a light that can handle full power on a hot summer night and being fitted an AM bike weight is not really an issue.
Here's a few pics of the build.
