CNC-123 Octagon Body Closeout
The time is nigh to clean out the closet in anticipation of the newer version, aka Groovy!, in the near future.
For those unfamiliar with the CNC-123, it is a single cell C123 flashlight that accepts standard drivers such as the Badboy, Madmax Plus, NexGen, etc., that Wayne Yamaguchi sells. These drivers are all .55" in diameter and .300" tall, not measuring the Luxeon, just the sandwich.
What distinguishes the CNC-123 from other homemade lights, it that it can accept a variety of optics or a reflector. It will take the NX05, the Fraen narrow beam low profile optic, and the IMS 17mm reflector after some trimming. When using the Fraen optic or the IMS reflector, it helps to use a 20.5mm diameter lens for protection.
The over length is only 3.32", the diameter is 1" at the head. The light weighs about 2.2 ounces.
The switch is a clickie, the Kroll switch is located at the bottom of the light, recessed so that one can stand the light on end while on.
Here is a comparison shot with some other familiar lights, CNC-123 HA is the third from the right:
Available colors, first the electroless nickel plated version:
The Hard Anodized Type III:
The Blue anodized:
And finally, the Black anodized:
