500L

As I have started to make more of these for people I have been playing around with ways to maximize production and incorporate a few design suggestions. But, of course, that always leads to slight variations, so on with the pictures.

Notice the nifty new slots on the bottom. As I said before, I will be adding this to all new lights. I even managed to retro-fit an older one.



I need to get a better shot of this, but I got a new piece of tooling that allows me to easily cut a radius on a corner. Makes for a nice round corner instead of a cutting edge.



I also moved everything back to the back for a couple reasons.
1. I got a complaint on this version about turning it off with a tree branch. oops.
2. It is quicker as far as machining goes.
3. More surface area for cooling.

It has been way too long since an update, but the real job has been getting in the way again...


So I sent my first light out by mail the other day to Oregon. So that was exciting. The initial report was good and the Darkstar was reported as the brightest light on the trail. Yess! I made a slight adjustment at the owners request on this light and think I will incorporate it into all my new designs


Nifty Huh. No more worries about losing it no matter what.

I also recently completed the Bullit as a swap for a SS bike.

I think it turned out well.

I wanted this one to turn out really well and be really reliable as the guy is a fireman, and wanted to use it for both biking and at work

I think I succeeded as he reported back the the beam was great for looking for a dead body in the woods at night.

OK then! Guess we have a winner.
