A Griffin on steroids!
From the front; a custom head by Ganp. I sent him a Lumens Factory D36 drop-in and asked for a Griffin-like head big enough to hold it. It's the size of an M3 head, but fits on a C-Series body. The crenelated bezel ring mates perfectly with the head, and is nearly invisible.
Inside this gorgeous head is a Nailbender-built D36 drop-in with an SST-50 4000K warm emitter with a 3-level driver. Output has been measured at 531 out-the-front lumens, and the beam is toasty warm. The focus from the reflector is perfect, and at 12' on the white wall, I have a 3' diameter hotspot with amazing brightness.
Next comes one of Mac's custom 6P bodies with integrated 4-lobe grip-ring. It's bored to hold a single 18650.
Bringing up the rear is a one-off C-Series tailcap by Ganp, with McClicky guts and a recessed boot, so it'll tailstand nicely.
All in all, I'm very pleased. It's destined to be sent to Modamag's Exotic Coating Service to have the bare aluminum polished and given some sort of coating.
