Chris of TnC_Products very graciously consented to a limited run of Titanium lights being produced by CPF'er Tain.
This run was a tribute to Chris's famous Hyperlux line of lights which in my opinion are amongst the most beautiful lights ever designed.
I was culpable of egging Tain into this by pleading with him to make one of these for me when I first saw a picture of his personal 2-piece Hyperlux tribute light in the "Show your lights with Trits Thread"
Luckily for me and a few others, Tain consented to this. The result is a small run of 2-piece and 3-piece Hyperluxes that are very faithful to Chris's design. The 2-piece version has slightly more fins and both versions have Titanium push-button switches with six tritium vials arranged hexagonally. The knurling for the 2-piece lights is raised. A decision was taken for the 3-piece Hyperluxes to have flush knurling (which is very difficult to execute)
For my personal 3-piece lights I requested the smooth areas to be slightly trimmed where they bordered the knurling for a "cleaner" look (rather than the more merged appearance of true flush-knurling) hence technically the knurling in my 3-piece lights counts as "slightly" raised.
Tain handled everything like a pro with excellent communication and frequent updates with tantalising pictures. His photographic skills are formidable and do justice to the excellence of the machining which turned out flawless with tight tolerances and exquisite knurling.
I will let my (amateurish) pictures attempt to do the talking ....
