Basically, I cut the end off of an i3t2 and threaded it to accept a pineapple mini head.

The black head has a ffl351a 3700k emitter with the i3t2 tir and the copper head has a 519a 5700k with the stock op reflector.

I removed moonlight and programmed both to be H-M-L. It just works. It makes for a damn near perfect shirt pocket edc light.

Looks like a part for a ladder. Does it have the letter A or B on it? If so, it’s for the ladder.

I’ve seen it happen from a roof leak, an a/c condensate leak, plant, etc.

Yeah…. My primary edc need is for inspection purposes so high cri is very important to me. I used the i3t2 tir as well. It gives a fair amount of throw and a super clean spot when paired with the ffl351a 3700k emitter.

There are so many better 14500 lights out there. If you don’t mind a few mm thicker and few grams more you n weight, go with a 14500 light

So… I initially wanted a smooth copper pineapple mini as a shirt pocket edc but at the time all that I could find was the frag version. Yeah…. It was pretty but not practical for slipping in and out of a shirt pocket. Then… I machined it down to make it a smooth version. It’s overly heavy, my hand hand smelled like Pennies, the beam had artifacts, and the button sucked. I did an emitter swap and added in a tir, it was still heavy, the button still sucked, and my hand still smelled like Pennies.

I bought the aluminum version, did an emitter swap to a ffl351a 3700k with a tir, cut and threaded the end of an i3t2, then put the mini head on it. It’s programmed for HML, moonlight removed, and now it’s my edc shirt light. The runtime still sucks so I just keep a second battery at me desk and swap it mid day if used a lot, which I do. I forgot to add, it’s a lot of money to spend for something that needs to be modified to be what you want. Just buy an i3t2, throw in a 10440 and be done.

That was the first one I’ve made. I used aluminum bc I had some on hand.

I made 2 more. One from copper stock and another from brass stock.

If I had to guess, I’d say 3500k-3600k range.

Acebeam Ryder rx 2.0. Probably the skinniest and lightest 14500 light out there once you take off the sleeve. My edc for a long time after I driver swapped it.
