G4 it is!
I'll have to check the records but I believe this will be your light, ser # 15A4001. Just need to stuff it with the electronix.

I am always coming here for updates
Was starting to worry that I was burning people out with updates, glad to hear you still want them!
Mostly, lately, I have been working on making the build more efficient so I can get these pups out the door quicker. So far though, it still takes an insane amount of time to put these lights together. But I am making incremental progress!
Some of the updates today are just build efficiency gains; I've found a better way to wire up the LEDs that increases some of the inside the case space. Not a big deal once the light is finished but does make it easier to build. Tried a couple of different circuit boards for the charger jack but finally came to the conclusion that just wiring it up without the board is actually better. And a change from the Gen2; the Gen3 and Gen4 lights will disconnect the circuit from the battery while charging. Again, not a big deal in the overall scheme of things but it does increase the efficiency of the charger a bit and allows you to reset the controller and battery protection circuit just by plugging in the charger to the charging port on the light.
I have been meaning to bring this up for a while; I really ran into a wall with the trit slots. I realized early on that my mill was not accurate enough to produce the slots so I looked around for local and some not so local machine shops that might be willing to take on the project and not bust the budget. I did find two shops and got them some blanks to try out. Unfortunately the work they both returned was sub par (I mean really, really sub par). So, I'm afraid that at this point I can't offer trit slots on the lights. Hopefully down the road, if there is enough interest for me to continue to build and refine these lights, I will be able to invest in better equipment and that I might be able to offer trit slots at some point.
Check back in over the weekend and I hopefully will have some pictures of the first, production builds on the Gen4s!
Thanks and stay tuned!
I would like the same combo for my Brassy ATL.

Yes, sir!

Did you capture that my copper should be polished?
Thanks

I did! Micro ATL G4, Copper, polished, standard LED configuration.
I'll get an updated list posted this weekend. Also, I will verify with everyone via IM before I complete your build to make sure everything is the way you want it.

Beautiful (in my IMHO) aluminum, Micro ATL G4 all buttoned up and ready for a trip!
And the becon
Fully charged and tested. Each light will be tested for function and will get a full charge and discharge cycle before being shipped.
Your Micro ATL will come with the battery in a "storage state" charge. ie, the voltage will be around 3.7v to 3.9v. So,you will want to fully charge it before you start using it. There will be a note in the package reminding you of that.
I was hoping to have pics of the first prod copper light but just ran out of time to completely finish. So look for more production pics next week.
It's been a long road, with a steep learning curve, for sure but I believe I finally have everything in order and will be setting up the sales site shortly. Look for a link to the sales post by late next week!
Which brings me to a little announcement; to show my appreciation to everyone that has stuck with me through this long, long process, I will be sending each person that has gotten back to me and Confirmed their commitment to the purchase of a Micro ATL a free bonus from another project I have been working on. Nothing to get too fired up about but I really think you will like it. Anyone that is on the following list is eligible for the bonus as long as you get back to me with a confirmation of your commitment before the sales site goes up next week. And.... you can ask me what the bonus is, all you want but you will have to wait until your package arrives to find out! :naughty:
