Twisty flood

[TranquillityBase]

I covered the solder with black enamel paint, and added an extra spot, so I can call mine the 'COW'...

My wife rolled her eyes, and gave me that 'you're a dork' look, when I tried to explain this to her I get that look from her quite often...

At least I had fun making it...:twothumbs

Cree XR-E, FluPIC driver, and AW RCR123A...

Now I can ask her if she wants to use my new reading light, but it'll be in MODE 5, set for 18Hz strobe...

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!! :rock:

 

[glockboy]

Cool.

 

[cryhavok]

very cool Scott!! :thumbsup:

I bet that would make a great carry light. I mean I don't know about you but most of what I need a light for is flooding the area with light.

:twothumbs

Did I mention the head on this little floody is a direct couple to the TBSB 18650...and the MMSB...

TB, great job on your little spotted Cow! :twothumbs I`m working on one of your Aleph 2 style Ti heads for a little floody animal(To be named later) but I don`t have a Ti battery tube that small. :sigh: So, mine with no reflector will end up using a 123 size tube but a 17500 cell. Hmmm..... Looks like mine will have......

MORE COW BELL!

Great job TB!

A fine creation with a regionally appropriate name. Maybe you can have a booth at the State Fair?

Shouldn't it have like four batteries like cows have four stomachs or something?

I like how you got the Cree close to the window. The closer the better so the light is not lost in the internals of the head.

Looks like a bunch of Bull to me.

Should I weld some Ti horns on your PD?

Hey, no holding parts hostage! I take it back, the light looks cool.

Your wife is right, though. :nana:


Hmmm... Ti horns....

Hmmm... Ti horns....

"Is that a horny flashlight in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

 

[Icarus]

I like your cow :twothumbs, even without horns... :naughty:

Scott, your Cow light really is VERY COOL! :twothumbs So, it looks like a twisty tailcap, correct? What is the length of the light?

Thanks,
Ken

 

[jch79]

What is the length of the light?

If I had to guess, I'd say 2.635". :shrug:

These type of lights really excell with a multi level driver...Ultra low is pretty bright a 3:00am...150 ~ 200 mA is perfect for map reading in the car (not bright enough to annoy/distract the driver) bright enough for the navigator.

Ken, this light is using a RCR123a twisty cell tube, but the head will connect to my TBSB 18650 body, without the need for the adapter...It will also fit Brian/MirageMan's 18650 tube.

I'm not quite finished with this one, I'd like to install a large 'D' ring to the back of the cell tube, so the light can hang in a tent, like a little lantern.
