SST-90-R My first custom build

About a month ago I asked for recommendations on Red hunting lights. For a long range unit, one recommendation was to use an SST-90-R
A month later I am happy with the results..

My first custom light, Purchased parts:
Mag 2D
SST-90-R
H6FLEX
2 x 26700 Emoli (free)
DX reflector
Arctic Alumina epoxy

The rest is all DIY machining. The switch was replaced with a modded momentary switch, a sleeve was made for the bats, and the tail cap and spring were changed a bit to get the bats to fit.






testing the setup on 2 1100mA VPX A123 cells

Very nice job . That reflector will get you plenty of throw. Nice Machining

Nice job, maybe stupid question but what is the red light used for in hunting?

I agree with Epsilon about the excellent machining effort. Is that a modified Der Wichtel heatsink or a homemade one that looks like it? Can't wait to see the beamshots.:naughty:

Nice job! What kind of throw do you get? I have red and green filters (made by Olight) for my SR-90. Green has a noticably greater reach when it comes to throw. (Or, humans see green much easier than red.) Red light is known for being less likely to spook most animals. I have found the same with green.

Very nice work on that heatsink, how long did it take you make it? Looks like it was well worth the effort. Please post some beamshots if you can, can't wait to see this thing in action.:naughty:

I want a reflector and head like that, Im guessing you made them?

would you be interested in making 1 more head extention just like yours?? same one, doesn't have to be one piece head, i would buy one from you.

awesome,

Ditto, would love love love to have one!

Any throw photo?

Very interesting. I use red for hunting foxes (custom XP-E pill in a Solarforce M3)
