Test...

Please change both of my lights to Lux-RC 371D. Thanks!

 

[Thetasigma]

I have no real way of measuring this and I'm not sure if you could get an accurate measurement considering the light is nickled. The finish you're showing is very close to the look of the Alpha lights.

I checked his page and it says a 65TPI thread with a blunt tool .003" deep. I think this one amounts to roughly 80TPI

Please change both of my lights to Lux-RC 371D. Thanks!

Done. I think I've got everyone updated that has requested.

I absolutely love that light! I wanted it so bad but someone beat me to it. I'll have one at some point.

Can I get upgraded to the 371D with CW XP-Ls. Great looking driver!

 

[Chrisdm]

Please add me for Titanium 18500, knurled, sapphire, clip, 4000k LEDs of your choice and 371 driver. Also I am REALLY kicking myself for not grabbing your heat treated/textures Ti prototype. Will pay a premium for this, it really set this light apart from the competition. Thank you!

I don't do cool white LEDs, the 371Ds I have on order will have 5000k 219C LEDs, or I could order a 4000k XP-L board with the next order.

I'm not knurling Titanium at this time.


I'm locking the list after Chris, I want to work through the list and possibly simplify some things after I get most of the list done.

Then please update my order to 317D with your preferred 5000K 219C. Thanks

Updated.


On another note, I'm going to include a BratGuy Stonewashed Titanium retainer ring for the Titanium hosts.

Was there a restructuring of the list? I am sure the last time I looked I was 29th and not 49th.

 

[Thetasigma]

Ah, I sorted the list the other day looking at how many of each metal I had on the list. The entries are sorted alphabetically by metal type, but within each group the entries are still chronological

I just updated my second light to the 317D Driver (Nichia led). Just wanted to give you a heads up.

 

[fizeau]

Pls update my light to 371D driver with Nichia and narrow optic, TKS!!

Thanks, it looking like I'll have to do a more sizable order than expected when I get the funds to do so.

Done.

Alright, question time again.

Would you guys prefer a more open bezel with more of the optic exposed? This would require a gasket instead of the usual o-ring currently employed.
Currently the O-ring setup obscures a bit of the optic, but are easy to source and replace. Difference would be 20mm vs 19mm currently.

Mac, Okluma, and Hanko all use the slightly more open bezel and a gasket instead of an o-ring seal.

I don't think you can go wrong by emulating the masters above, Devin. So, yes, that would be my preference. Thanks for exploring all these options in pursuit of attaining excellence which by all accounts you have already reached.

Haven't been around lately to read the thread, but just did and I updated myself to a 371D. Hopefully that is alright with you Devin.

Just realized I hadn't responded to this picture, nice collection Chris, she appears to be in good company.

That is the direction I'm leaning, I have some of the proper size gaskets on order and I'm gonna run one or two with the wider bezel bore. The reason it came to my mind recently, is I have a hybrid Okluma that I put a fluorosilicone ring in, and I keep noticing a blue ring in the beam from light reflecting off the ring. Also, I think that the bezel tend to look better with more of the optic on show.
The downside to switching to gaskets is the fluorosilicone ring option will end up being for thread rings only, as the watch gaskets are black.

I'm overall happy with the hosts at this point, but there are a couple alterations I want to do yet, including adjusting the size of the 18500 host to better accommodate IMR or protected 18500 cells, and running a different chamfer angle on the grip rings.

That is fine, I now have a better idea of what I will need to order from Serge next.

I took a break from studying for finals, and re-did calculations for light prices taking into account tooling costs, materials, and time that is more up to date, and have adjusted the prices a bit. The regular three metals have been adjusted up a little, and Al-Bronze and Titanium have been dropped $25 each.
