Indulge me a bit here--this is not trolling. Just bowing to the masters.

Most of you can probably guess who did these, but I won't say who, until my little Splash Challenge Project is completed.

What, exactly, is the Splash Challenge? I've invited three Ti anodizers to take 10 pieces of the Killer AAA Ti Keychain Lights and do with them what they will--colors, designs, etc., all of their choice.

Once all three artists have gotten their pieces back to me, they will be outfitted with some new 90mA drivers and special multi-die LEDS, and offered for sale, both here on CPF and elsewhere.

These Splash Killers are all from the same artist and, in my humble opinion, are among the most beautiful examples of splash anodizing that I've seen. I can't wait to see what the others come up with, but unfortunately that will be some time from now, as I am out of bare Ti Killer bodies. The good news is the machine shop in already working on the next batch. :devil:

Please, please, do not come asking if you can buy one of these--the answer is no, not yet. When all the lights are completed, selected pieces will be offered for sale exclusively to CPF'ers. Others will be sold through dealers.

[edit] :poke: OK, so CPF'ers can't read. :crackup:

These will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, when I start the sales thread. I will post all that I have left for sale, after shipment of the others to a couple of dealers. Yes, I will name the dealers, so you can check with them, too, for what they bought out of the batch.

Hope that satisfies everyone. :rolleyes: :laughing:

Enough already! I've decided that the only fair way to sell these, and thus not have me playing favorites, will be through a lottery. Once all the Splash Killers are done and the ones for sale on CPF selected, I will post them for sale at a set price. Anyone who wants one can enter their name and the winning names, as well as which light your will get, will be chosen through a random number generator. You will then have 24 hours to send payment, at the fixed price that was posted, or the Splash Killer will be offered to the next in line.

Hope that satisfies everyone. :rolleyes: :laughing:


if you didnt know already (and seeing how your proposed method is exactly like it) mr. atwood has the lottery system all set up already and is using it to sell some of his pieces. im sure you could borrow the system for a bit :naughty:

Will the 90mA drivers be available in any of the bare TI killers?

Due to economic reasons, I am abstaining from buying any lights at the moment. But #1 is spectacular. :drool:
