300+ Lumen Hand Grenade!!

Hand Grenade !! :naughty: :naughty:
Anyway, great work by Milky !! :goodjob:

This little 318+ Lumens pocket gem is made from a modified KL2, and 3 CREE XREs with constant 500mA current going through each LED utilizing Milky's custom circuit. The ARC4 is used for size reference.

Again, great work!

Hmm now that you mention hand grenade it looks kinda like those grenades the german's used in WW2 (well with some wild imagination).

Oh yeh BEAMSHOOOOOOTTTSSSSS!!!!

muuuuhahahahahahahaaha nice

I am currently waiting on a similar mod from Milky,
gotta love all these adapters !

That's pretty wild, what are you using to power that? An RCR123?

Yeah, the M to C, and C to E adaptors are great!

I am using a protected RCR123, running about 2C.
Beam shot tonight

I feel sorry for that RCR123 that has to power that thing. It's gotta be screaming when it's getting the much juice pulled from it. 500mAh x 3 x 1.03 (assuming 97% circuit efficiency).

Actually, its running at 2.2A or around 3C using only 1 RCR123. ( This light was really meant for 2 123s or 18650 setup which I also have. Just wanted to have fun for few short bursts )

Wow that circuit is less efficient than I thought. But with that little voltage that's pretty tough. I guess this is litterially a "Flash" light with ~20min runtime.

WW2 German Grenades were nicknamed the Potatoe Masher! Sounds like a good description for your light ;-)

THAT'S IT! Phew I was trying to remember that nickname all day. I almost resorted to playing Call of Duty to remember.

With those 2 adapters giving extra length, could you get a 17670 in there ?
Width should be ok, but height should be critical.... Very curious...

Amorphous, REALLY nice photo... and really nice potato masher setup... and really nice Arc4!

:bow: :bow:

This particular head ought to deliver about 1h20m on a single 18650 AW 2200mAh protected cell... it was never designed to run off a single RCR123 rechargeable, and it's a pleasant surprise that it works at all! (Truth be told, it even ran on a single PRIMARY 123 cell... but my guess is runtime would be something like 5 minutes!)

I used to have my own light on this sort of setup... the body is so short that you almost find yourself holding the head itself in your palm!

That is very cool! Just don't try traveling with that one!

RIDE

I looks like it had a accident with a guillotine.

I believe that is a stielhandgrenate

:naughty: :naughty:
Yeah, it is still a Blast everytime I turn it on. Great work there Milky !!
Imagine EDC it all the way to the airport, and imagine afterward what the security guys would do to you in a room with rubber gloves. :devil:

I know I said it before.... But

WHERE ARE THE BEAM SHOTS? :twothumbs

Okay, Okay.. :naughty:
Got to wait till the wolfs howl, and hear the crickets chirp, then I'll get some Beam Shots.
