Tritium Vials & Glow Powder: SSC P7 FLuPIC 3A Aleph LE

Here's a mod that some requested for both types of glow that we are used to. I thought it was a great idea so I gave it a go not knowing what the end result would be.

Green tritium vials & glow powder. The tritiums don't make the glow powder glow as expected but it's still pretty cool IMO. Bored out the XRcan & Mule head to give more room for the glow & to make it more visible. Custom made heatsink to allow the P7 to sit low enough so the dome does not touch the lens & to allow a bit more mass down into the can. Can is fully potted. Brass battery contact. FLuPIC modded for 3A.

Hope the owner enjoys! :wave:

That looks really awesome!!!!

WOW that like a piece of art, just awesome

:thumbsup: Great work Will!

That's a killer idea for a mule!
oo:

if you dont mind me asking, is it a double stack w/DD burst or triple stack 1amp?

:rock: Thanks Will, looks perfect! I can see a whole slew of glow/trit LE's being built as a result of this masterpiece, but I get the first one :nana:

Wow, that looks really good. Does the glow powder glow constantly, or only when charged?

Only glows really brightly when charged but many hours later you will still see it giving off light.

Is this the McGizmo host that is still available? I thought it required a specific pre-made pill from the Sandwhich Shop. Did you create your own?

Amazing work, btw.

Beautiful Will! What else can I say... :wave:

It was a pleasure. Yup the first & possibly the only one from me?

The glow powder only glows when charged as usual with glow powder & the trits glow all the time except when overpowered by the glow powder.

Glad to see you are still around, it's been a long time! Yes this is the host still currently available from Don. It will accept any Aleph series LE. This was made with the key component (XRcan) for building a type of Aleph LE.

Thanks fellas, I'm slowly learning.

Well my pics are pretty lousy compared to Will's, but I just wanted to share anyway because it has arrived. Thanks again! :wave: The hairline scratches on the EN-plated head are typical for that finish and are very minor, almost unnoticeable in person.

Beutiful:twothumbs

For the FluPIC, did you use the same technique as you did in this thread?

Yes.
