They look fantastic. Simple and clean.

Thanks so much!! I started a 45 minute op on the mill, so I had time to kill

A good visual is always nice, and it's still an amazing process to me (even after nearly three years). We are working on more videos, but time is our limiting factor at the moment...

@neutralwhite I've got you on the list for a 21700 Lumenite - your inbox was full. Let me know if you still are interested and it's ready to go.

Thanks!

Re: Fraz Labs Tiny Nugget

Nice pics^

Also, updated the OP again with a little background information on the design and vision of these lights. The OP is still clunky, but it'll get there.

So my Tiny Nugget came today........WOW!!! I am completely blown away. First off, I didn't expect the light to be so large and bulky. But I think that's what I love the most about it. Second... this is the smoothest ramping qtc I have ever had. Just a beautiful beam and smooth ramp from ultra low low to a ridiculous high! This thing is quite the thrower also and able to light up my back field that's 150-160 yards to the bottom while still able to have the perfect amount of spill.

I also was blown away at the packaging that it came in. I have never ordered a light that came in such a beautiful and well thought out case. Every little detail on the light and packaging was extremely well thought out and perfectly executed. So far I cannot say enough good things about it.

Now ...I've had a few higher end lights like the , okluma tinydc, sinner tri-edc, and I must say....this light blows them out of the water in nearly every way. I absolutely love it. Feels like you could drive over it with your car and pick it up, and put it right back in your pocket for the next time you need it.

Here it is next to a few of my other lights for size comparison purposes.

Great photos! Glad you like it - what camera did you use for those? Mine just died and I'm in the market (don't tell @TheFraz) for something that has that level of detail...

So glad you're pleased with the total package! That box creation has been a real fun journey for sure. It's also nice to see the size comparison between ours and others lights. As for the "drive over it with your car" comment, I have something far larger in mind for that particular test. Stay tuned!

I've got a 17k telehandler at my disposal if you need something bigger to run it over with haha

You're in the ballpark, but at least one piece of equipment I have in mind has tracks...

 

[ScapegoatUmi]

......has tracks...

Oh my!

Luminite on the way! Soon i will watch over
tiny nugget 18350
Blaster 18500
Tiny tank 18650
Luminite 21700

Tiny nugget gets the most pocket time, as its a little smaller than the rest. But 18650 has been used several charges worth to illuminate the interior of work truck....been thinking about attaching a magnet to it. I keep forgetting to take some pics.....

This tiny nugget it just amazing. I love that it's so smooth! I also love that you can operate it with one hand. It's just such a beast of a light. I am very glad I went with the 18650 size as I have large hands and it fits perfect. I have been carrying it with me everyday to work since it arrived. I need to post more pictures

That's nearly the whole collection - thank you for your support! I have an STL of a magnetic mount I 3D printed, it's still a bit of a work in progress but I'd be happy to share once I get it all hammered out. Also, the Tiny Nugget is my favorite as well!

So glad you like it! The 18650 is great from a capacity standpoint also, so a double whammy!

Thank you! Me as well...my hands are large, and one of the reason we concentrated on the internals so much is it would be near impossible for me to assemble them otherwise.

Oh! A new anodized color?
And a slight change to the battery tube.
