Copper 26650 flashlight pre-order from TnC products

[InfinitusEquitas]

I'm betting on 1-3 sst90's maybe?

Letting it age and get a nice patina will look pretty cool. I wonder how long it takes to get that "Statue of Liberty Green" going?


Where can you buy 12" of 1.75 copper for $60?

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Are you kidding me... I think it would be cool to clearcoat it somehow. I like the way copper looks. Or going all out... gold plate the whole thing

They're beautiful!

You got trits in mind for yours?

What drop-in you gonna power in that sucka?

I've been having a hard time deciding what colors to use. I want something that will look good with copper. At the same time though, you won't see the copper wehn you're able to see the trits glowing.

I currently have a nailbender XML T6 P60 drop-in to use in it.

I may need some salt water to get that look.

Copper does look nice. I am having a hard time deciding if I want to go for the antique look or clearcoat it.

Well, whatever you decide... I want to see the end result.

[Elektrotechniker]

i hope the price is for all of them.

These have the exact p60 pocket as SureFire, right? I need to stop asking questions, I'm starting to get antsy.

Copper is about $8 per pound, right? 1.75" diameter copper at 12 inches is about 9 pounds. So I suppose it would be $72.

Theoretically these weigh less than the starting piece of copper, so shouldn't they be cheaper than just a chunk of copper?

Theoretically? :crackup:

 

[Blord]

Lol, yea sure.

And a diamond is just a bunch of carbon.

They would be AMAZING with Copper heatsink and a 9mm 445nm Diode at 3Watt:evil:

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Nah... triple sst90 for the ultimate wall of light style floodlight.

There is a quad XP-G drop-in for sale.

20W will make use of that heatsponge with fins ;-)

VanIsleDSM's AMAZING Septa and other Drop Ins - a 'mini review' - photo heavy!!

Here's some decent pics. Smaller than the photos would lead you to believe. Very fancy features, too. Some of the more powerful drop-ins (feed them more than 5A) are actually on silver-plated copper slugs.
