Copper Slide Lantern Flashlight (Hand Made)
on: February 08, 2018, 01:02:16 PM
Thought you guys might like this too  ;)
A hand made flashlight/ lantern made from some copper tubes and other stuff I had in the spare parts box.
I make a lot of flashlights as well as mods using only small hand tools :)



The front emitter is a Nichia 319A SM503 and the lantern part has two opposing XM-L2 emitters.
Modes are high, low, lantern then lantern beacon.

Nichia 319A SM503 Front emitter
20mm diffused spot TIR
2 x XM-L2 3C? Lantern emitters
18350 1100mAh protected cell
Reverse clicky tail switch
GITD behind optic & switch
Micro USB charging
Copper & Brass construction
Internal hanging loop

Length – 130 - 150 mm
Width – 21 mm
Weight - 155gm
Front – 364 lm / 106lm
Lantern - 300 lm


The mechanism is a friction slide.





The tail has a copper loop built in for hanging made from 2.5mm copper wire.



Built in micro USB charging with red & green indicators via a ME4056 tiny charge board

.
Some build pictures of the lantern section.

Or, better still: you take care of flashlights, syph makes the SAKs and Gohard the sheaths. MTo store sells them, everyone gets to use a MTo EDC kit.
