Hi guys,

some time ago i started to create a flashlight in a computer modell according to my own ideas. it took many loops until i was happy with the design.

after that, i spend a lot of time to improve the construction of the torch itself. adjust thread length, optimize sealings and had always an eye on the proportions.

the result was a complete data in CAD:

after that i start to build this light.... and this is now 3 years gone. the last weeks i had some time and remembered, that there was a non finished project. I looked on my computer for the data and yes, i have to finish this beautifull light.

so i started some weeks ago. as a first component the batterie tube for 16340 LiIon batteries on the lathe.

and after that on the miling machine:

so i built one after the other all the components which are needed for completed the light. And today it was finished, i sandblasted the last parts and assemblied all of them:

this is the version of aluminium and copper. But what is that ?

see you !

hi all, thanks for your comments.

battery will be 16340.

The LED and optic combination is fully customable, so the range ist from very short range flooder to a mid range beam. a thrower in this size is not really possible.

i´m still waiting for some orders from USA and China, but nevertheless i started to finish the surface of the next three lights.

lovely combination of titanium, copper, brass and aluminium:
