    Copper and Current Designs - Hinton AA/14500 pocket light

    No shortage on want - I'm just as into flashlights as I've ever been! Huge shortage on time though, that's for sure. Family's been keeping me busy and I've been loving every minute of it. I don't frequent CPF at all these days, but if you do the whole social media thing I'm trying for biweekly...

    Hi @greatscoot, thanks for checking in! Time's super hard to come by these days, so about once a week I try to get some updates up on my social media: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CopperAndCurrent https://instagram.com/copperandcurrent Should you do the whole social media thing, please do...

    Copper and Current Designs - Hinton AA/14500 pocket light

    You bet! I don't know how many people do Instagram but I try to post updates there weekly as I tinker on my projects. Here's a short clip showing off the discrete vs. ramping UI: I don't have a Hinton-specific video yet, but the Leash Lantern uses an abridged version of the same programming...

    We have 24 (amazing!) people who've expressed interest so far - I'm hoping to find 6 more so we can hit 30 and I can call up Jordy and get this project rolling. If this light sounds up your alley feel free to pop your name on the interest list, or send me a PM/email with any questions!

    1800 UTC bump! :bumpit: If anyone was thinking of registering their interest for the Hinton, the list is now open.

    That's the exact emitter I've been using in my prototype for ages now. It's a delight at night time - nice and warm with very good color rendering.

    His machine work is phenomenal and I’m super excited he agreed to take on the project! Plus I take a small bit of pride being able to work with a fellow Canadian on it.

    Thanks nbp! As I mentioned, I've been carrying the prototype for many months now, using it daily, and it performs just as I expect it to through many battery changes and lots of daily wear. I'm hopeful others will feel the same! This run is somewhat unique in that I don't turn titanium on my...

    Ah, good catch sorry about that! The list will indeed be opening April 6th. I wasn't planning on serializing these, no. If I try to stamp them by hand it'll look like a kid wrote it with crayons, and engraving/milling adds a bit more cost than I can afford (I'm financing this entire first run...

    Hey CPF! I've been working hard over the last few years building my "perfect" pocket light. The prototype has been clipped to my pocket for months now and I just love it. I'm putting together a small run of Hinton pocket lights and wanted to post here in case anyone else is interested. Some...

    Searching: 2 stage (high/low), AA battery, forward click.

    If you can deal with a reverse clicky, the Eagtac D3A can function as a 2-stage.

    A Tribute to Nitecore D10

    Ensure that the driver PCB (the green circuit board) is inserted fully into the brass driver pill. Gently but firmly press on the PCB to ensure it's properly resting on the brass shelf hidden inside the pill. The D10 is an electronically-switched light and requires a constant power supply to...

    1xAA bodies?

    Chris makes a 1xAA body that's E-series compatible, so with an E-to-P adapter you could make it work. https://ogazent.com/store/surefire-compatible/titanium-e-series-aa-clicky-dragon-battery-tube/

    Single AA light with only low and high and no memory

    My 15VP drivers are in the final phases of beta testing right now. I can pop you a message in a few months if all goes well.

    Single AA light with only low and high and no memory

    If you can find a host that takes a 15mm driver then you could build your own.
