Sold/Expired Feeler.....1150 lumen Hotwire

Here's my new project light.

Specs

-Approximately 1150 Lumens using ROP High output lamp (1150 Lumens before optical loss)
-Approximately 550 Lumens using ROP Low output lamp (550 Lumens before optical loss)
-Custom 6AA to D holder
-UCL Lens
-Custom PR Base lamp holder
-Medium Stripple Reflector (Zero artifacts in beam Surefire Style)
-10amp Rated Tailswitch
-Sub 2D size

I may make a few of these if people are interested. I may do a batch of 20 and get them all black anodized with the finned heads and grooves bodies. Pricing will be around $175 ready to go minus battery's

Pricing will be cheaper depending on body finish options. Stock body cutdown with stock finish will be approximately $50 cheaper.

Now for the Pic's











Compared to a 2D size MagLite

I haven't been around CPF much lately, but I saw this and said "I must get one!"
Chris, count me in for one light and two 550 lumen and two 1150 lumen bulbs.

I love the finned head and the general look of the light.
I am OK with black or silver anodizing - whatever you decide.

I second that! That looks awesome..I'd be in for one also, as well as some spare bulbs.

I'd love this light in light blue (shadow blue I think its called). Pretty awesome design.. if I didn't already have 2 2D ROPs I'd probably spring for one of these. I'm really interested in hearing the final pricing though!

Good job Mac :bow:

What's the current draw from the cells? You could write in snow with that beam! Show pic's of beam shots! Very nice work.

stunning.. a work of art.

What's the aprox run time?

Could Lithium be a battery option?

Thanks

I would be in for one. I'm not interested in the fins or grooves. Just a stock body cut down.

I would be in for one.
Should also work with 2 of Emillions D cell LiIon's, right?

Sorry.....it will not work with "D" size cells as the battery holder is smaller than the standard 2d.

Im in for one.

Why use that ROP lamp instead of a WA bi-pin?

-ROP Lamps are easier to obtain.
-There's a High / Low Lamp in each package for under $10.
-No fussing with the Bi-Pin adjusting hassle.
-Brightest lamp found for 7.2v application.
-Comparable Bi-Pin Lamp WA1111 is the same price for 2 of the ROP lamps
and around 200 lumens dimmer.

Count me 'PayPal' ready for an "I'll take one"

Silver as per your main pics, with spare bulbs, shipped to the UK please.

I never tried a ROP how's the beam? Do you any pictures of it ? Would be great some comparison with WA bulbs..

Looks nice. Count me as very interested. Are we talking HA-III black?

I have compared the beam to a WA1111 lamp and the beam is identical only brighter. As for the Anodize I was just going to do regular black.

Mac,

Count me in for at least 2 lights and spare bulbs (same finish as the Custom HID you did for me). Great work!

Awesome Work Cmacclel
