    DOME by Geotorch: AAA Flood Flashlight and Project Updates

    Thank you everyone for showing interest in this project. Life has been kinda crazy for me lately. We just had a baby, we're doing home renovations, and work has been super busy. Because doing a project like this is going to require my full attention, I have decided to postpone it until I can...

    The titanium and copper versions will be more, they are actual copper and titanium. I'm still working out the price on all of the versions, but I hope to at least keep the aluminum versions around $40.

    Hey everyone, I just loaded some shots of my final designs for this project on the first post. Again, if you're interested in this project and want to know when I launch on kickstarter then either post here or join the mailing list on my website. Thanks! Robert

    Thanks for the advice, in the end I decided this finish just didn't hold up very well. It looked pretty cool initially, but quickly showed all kinds of dirt, fingerprints, and scratches. Check out the initial post for more details. Robert

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm thinking of offering a few different finishing options in addition to the one I just posted, so a finish similar to the mako is a definite possibility. Polished, brushed, and as machined are on the table too.

    I feel like Gandalf when he said "Don't tempt me, Frodo". Seriously though, I'd love to but I'm too far along to change much at this point. However, if there's enough demand for a version 2.0 with two modes or any other features I could definitely see that happening in the future.

    Re: Any interest in a AAA "flood" style light? One more thing, thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Seriously though, this has been a lot of work to get to this point and it's always nice to hear good feedback. I would love to make several different versions of this light to...

    Re: Any interest in a AAA "flood" style light? Runtime Charts :) I finally got a few runtimes performed on one of the drivers I built up. Overall, I'm VERY happy with the results. Eneloop Pro data coming soon. *Note: In case you're curious, the calculated lumens value comes from the...

    Re: Any interest in a AAA "flood" style light? **PROJECT UPDATE** I have some exiting updates: 1. I got a couple 3d printed lenses in and tested them out. The smooth all-around beam produced by not having the LED recessed into the head looks awesome! I was tempted to get rid of the dome lens...

    Re: Any interest in a AAA "flood" style light? A clicky version of this light is a definite possibility in the future. Another option (which I actually already built the driver for) is to have a button that provides on/off with a single switch and dimming by holding it down. It remembers the...

    Re: Any interest in a AAA "flood" style light? Thanks for the interest guys! The lens is semi dome shaped and so it does stick out a little. I've thought a lot about it getting beat up too, but hopefully with the diffusing texture it will have on it any scratches should be pretty hidden. The...

    **UPDATE 3-2-2015** Ok guys, I can officially say that the prototypes for this project are done! Here are some photos. I've got to finish up some last minute items and then I'll start getting ready for the kickstarter project (make a video, more pictures, reward tiers, etc.). If you want to...
