McLux TK Owners, Let\'s See \'Em Baby!

I LOVE my McLux TK's. Between the TK and the VIP, I'm always struggling for the better EDC. It's usually one or the other. Show off your TK's in this thread. Here's mine so far... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif...

Re: McLux TK Owners, Let\'s See \'Em Baby!

I've got two McLux TKs; here they are:

The one on top is a Black Widow (black body, red LED), and the one on the bottom has a bead-blasted finish and a white LED.
The O-ring closest to the switch in my Black Widow is currently broken, but the poor injured thing still works. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Let me get a picture of that...BRB...

OK, here's the saddening picture:

Re: McLux TK Owners, Let\'s See \'Em Baby!

The original O-rings were Buna which is used in many of the lights. Unfortunately, buna does not hold up to O-zone! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif I have found some O-rings in other lights that have given up the ghost due to cracking as well. I believe lubrication will extend the service of the buna but obviously not a good solution for a grip O-ring like Craig's. I have switched to using EPDM which has much better weather resistance and is much better suited for lights, IMHO. It is not immune to petroleum though.

Yeah, wish I had one. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif I think it's somewhere in Europe if I'm not wrong. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Re: McLux TK Owners, Let\'s See \'Em Baby!

That gallery is a collection of all the McLux pics he can get his hands on. I've got 4 McLux. 1x123 black, 2x123 black, 3x123 black, and the gold one with the nice clip...

Here's a couple pics:

Don's pic of my light...

I don't have the bare prototype head anymore and it's been replaced with a black bead-blasted head with a Wizard 600 / TWAK. I've also got quite a few heads built to switch around.

Re: McLux TK Owners, Let\'s See \'Em Baby!

beretta, were you talking about my gallery? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Hope i didnt upset anyone using their pics in it,
Thats why I have a disclaimer on the falshlight page, saying all those pics are NOT mine.

Re: McLux TK Owners, Let\'s See \'Em Baby!

Oh no... not upset at all. I'm actually glad someone is keeping a collective gallery of them. You're even hosting them from your own server. I like it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I did notice a couple duplicate photos, other than that it's a really great way to see all the different ones and all the creative pics. My pics aren't all that creative. I didn't take the time to "do it up" yet.

Do you have a McLux JT? If not, we may have to take care of that somehow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Thanks!!!
