Are there gonna be any pics of the finished product once its done? Yup, the finished pictures are on this page http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/442305-the-lightcanon-flashlight/?p=6188164 I still might make a few tweaks to it, but the overall look isnt going to change What I do need to do is go out some night with my friend's DSLR to take some better pics and videos, since my camera's video is really bad in low light NEW PC build: Blank Heaven minimalist white and black PC Old S340 build log "White Heaven" The "LIGHTCANON" flashlight build log Project AntiRoll (prototype) Custom speaker project Spoiler Ryzen 3950X | AMD Vega Frontier Edition | ASUS X570 Pro WS | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB | NZXT H500 | Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700 | Custom loop | Coolermaster SK630 White | Logitech MX Master 2S | Samsung 980 Pro 1TB + 970 Pro 512GB | Samsung 58" 4k TV | Scarlett 2i4 | 2x AT2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 29, 2015 Author UPDATE! I got to do some more beamshots and long-range tests ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Test 1: -250m distance -high ambient light pollution (city) -medium light-reflecting target surface (dark concrete) Target: Result: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Test 2: -700m distance -high ambient light pollution (city) -medium light-reflecting target surface (red brick) Target: Result: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overall, very satisfied with the 700m performance with such high levels of ambient light pollution I'm planning to do some 1400m tests later in January in a place with far less light pollution.
