Not finished, but functional. I think the length of the 150A/18500 is perfect, and I've wanted to make a 150A x1 split body tube for a while. Tonight was the night...:grin2:

I still have to pattern the outside.

I hope you like it...:naughty:





Thanks for looking,

TB

Tip to tail, it measures 4 7/8" / 124mm.

With the new 150A cell at 1400 mAH, I think this size tube is a good solution. All the benefits of the rechargable cell, and not too long.

I wanted a very grippy and tough looking tube, to go along with the bezel. I very pleased with the results. The split in the cell tube is hidden in the pattern.

I have one photo with the two halves loose, and one with them tight. The seam is invisible when the halves are tight (camera sees better than me, wasn't quite tight enough) :grin2:

The switch housing is on its way out...I will be making a new tactical/strike switch housing to match.

You're gonna like this one...:naughty:




That's it...I'm done screwin around for the weekend.

You have read my PM about my request? :whistle:

Really nice work.
I like your knurling, adds a really nice personal touch to all your lights.
See you did this one alittle differently.
