Re: Will you support my 1st light? "Project Genesis"

Put me down for one Vinh. My first order from you - four lights - is still on its way to me, but I've seen enough to be confident in your work.

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

Concrete Project Genesis Details:
1. Made in USA - Electronics, Host & Assembly

2. 7075 Aluminum Housing - Most flashlights are made of 6061 Aluminum

  • 6061 VS Structural Carbon Steel VS 7075
  • Brinell hardness: 95 VS 140 VS 150
  • Ultimate Tensile Strength: 310Mpa VS 480Mpa VS 565Mpa
  • Shear Strength: 207Mpa VS 300Mpa VS 331Mpa

3. 3mm thick Anti-Reflective Tempered/Safety Lens

  • Most lens are 1-2mm. Usually only the big boys like BLF GT and X65 sport ~3mm Lens. Heat treatment characteristic unknown.
  • I worked at Northwestern Industries (A glass company) for 2 summers in college.
  • Here I learned both glass and will are much stronger when tempered.
  • The slow cooling heat treatment process makes the glass tempered and thus under constant pressure from edge to edge.
  • Tempered glass are 4 times stronger than regular/annealed glass.
  • Strength Example: 1/4" Tempered = 1" Annealed (Impact and scratch resistant improved accordingly.)
  • It also break relatively safer into smaller pieces as oppose to longer sharp edges of the annealed.


4. Type III Anodization (Black Color)


  • Anodization quality vary from one manufacture to another although most claimed Type III
  • I have not yet examine the quality of this USA shop to conclude
  • Tail cap thread anodize = Physical/mechanical lock out, no parasitic drain, safe transport
  • I discussed General info regarding anodization here

5. Form & Dimensions


  • Among shortest in class yet able to accept all varieties of cell length
  • Sleek and minimalist with a touch of industrial exterior design
  • Minimal laser engravings
  • Tail stand & Anti-roll
  • Least body housing parts assembly for strength & reliability
  • Thick housing wall for strength
  • Numerous thread for strength and smoothness
  • Double Oring at body ends for reliable water resistance
  • Shortest Length ~ 110mm

6. Diving Potential
  • High quality O-Rings
  • Dual thick Orings at all entry points
  • O-Rings lubed all around before assembly

7. Impact Resistance

  • 3mm tempered glassed cushioned on both side
  • Extra thick housing at high stress impact edges

​8. Upgradeable


  • Hardware & Firmware future upgradeable
  • Hardware & Firmware user config-able
  • Flexible forms and functions for multi applications.


9. Battery Configurations


  • 1 or 2 21700
  • 1 or 2 20700
  • 1 or 2 18650
  • 2*CR123A


10. Beam & Tint Options


  • Thrower - Oslon 6500K, 40SD, XPL HI
  • Flooder - 70.2, S351
  • Intermediate - 50.2, SST20 SD, 40HD,
  • Mule - XPL2, 219c, S351
  • 3000K, 4000K, 4500K, 5000K, 6500K, 7500K

Re: Will you support my 1st light? "Project Genesis"

Love how you were able to give us 21700 and 20700 and even 18650 options.
What would also be great is if the flooder versions can use 1 or 2 cells...

12. USA Premium Viton O Rings

Fluorocarbons (FKM) – commonly referred to as Viton®, has excellent resistance to high temperatures, ozone, oxygen, mineral oil, synthetic hydraulic fluids, fuels, aromatics and many organic solvents and chemicals. VITON® has a temperature range of -20F to +400F, and provides excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, weather and compression set requirements. The relatively high level of fluorine in VITON® materials allows for exceptional resistance to chemical attack, but with limited low temperature capabilities.

Chemical Resistance:


  • Mineral oil and grease, low swelling in ASTM oil No. 1, and IRM 902 and IRM 903 oils
  • Hydraulic Oil, Petroleum Base
  • Non-flammable hydraulic fuels in the group HFD
  • Silicone oil and grease
  • Mineral and vegetable oil and grease
  • Aliphatic hydrocarbons (fuel, butane, propane, natural gas)
  • Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene)
  • Chlorinated hydrocarbons (trichlorethylene and carbon tetrachloride)
  • Chlorine Water
  • Gasoline, Fuels, also fuels with methanol content
  • Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
  • Natural Gas
  • Propane
  • Diesel Oil
  • High vacuum
  • Very good ozone, weather and aging resistance.
Operating temperature: -20° to +400°F

Re: Will you support my 1st light?

Vinh---yes put me down for one AND as a thought let me be brief. Feel a little bad BUT maybe if possible make a version in this size does not exist presently in the market but my most used light when in the woods, mixed fields and woods looking for everything using maximum prereferral vision is my RV Captor by OMG. I have 5 of his lights including the Deft-X and he is not active really and this would not be high on his list to develop.

Just a thought. Oh and thanks for shipping my 3 lights so fast! They should be here Tuesday or Wednesday!
