    Vampire to DF Body Adapter

    I would like to help you out. Since I don't have that light on hand, I would need the light and 2nd head to be sure it fits properly. Would you be able to do without them for a period of time? An example of my work. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

    It is possible. It would add some length.

    Sold/Expired Feeler - Streamlight SL-20X and Sl-20X-LED Drop-in LED Conversion

    All true. I've tried several ways to make an LED module work for this light. The lack of space inside the head is killer. I'm close to a solution (I hope). I really love the SL20-X. I want to make them great again.

    easy explanation asked for aluminium/Copper/silver, pls

    I'm with Gadget Man. To the OP... As simple as I can make it, the two main issues in the famous Al vs Cu debate are: 1. Copper is roughly 3x denser than Al, while it has 45% the specific heat capacity (roughly). Doing the math... 3 * .45 = 1.35 volumetric heat capacity (It's actually higher...

    Some people think that a Waiven collar works well for that.

    35mm Aspherical Lens for 5A+ Driven XPG-2

    Thor Labs and Edmunds Optics both have very high quality lenses that will be < $50.00 for that size. Edmunds has the exact size you are looking for http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-lenses/aspheric-lenses/aspheric-condenser-lenses/43988. Thor Labs closest size is 30mm. You need the...

    Show your Solarforce Part II

    Not mine, but one I modded. Aspheric is 75mm. HS is hybrid Al / Cu. Height is to raise LED to focal plane.

    What would get you excited about flashlights again?

    Yeah, I will be putting a larger diameter on the end of the tail cap for sure. I don't have any experience with high power incan lights. From the little I've read about them better soft start solutions are needed for the next level to come.

    What would get you excited about flashlights again?

    How about a triple XP-G2 driven by a 14500 at 6.3 amps? I may be making a few of these after my Damascus project is complete. Prototype is pictured. There will be a few changes such as the brass exposed pill will be made of copper instead. Probably a little machining embellishment here and...

    Show off your copper

    Thanks! I will definitely do a thread for the Damascus build. Here's the thread for the light shown above. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?386869-Bucket-s-Bomber-My-Odyssey-in-making-a-flashlight-from-scratch-(almost)-)
