My latest Lego build is a variation of the Light Saber shown below;;
The configuration above works very well in an icepick hold but not so much in a cigar hold as used with the Rogers/Surefire technique. Since acquiring a SF Z2 Combat light, I now appreciate how well that hold works for me;
My goal was to use the Malkoff E2XTD head (650 lumens/70,000 candela) to Lego a 3P size Z2 light. No such animal was ever made so Lego was the only way it was going to happen. Here's what I ended up with;
This configuration works extremely well with the Rogers/Surefire technique yet rides comfortably in the bottom of a front pants pocket without a clip. The elimination of the clip ensures it won't interfere with the cigar hold. The light as shown above only has about five minutes of runtime on a IMR 18350 1200mAh cell, but for its intended use that is adequate. I carry two extra cells in an 18650 battery locker just in case.
The "3P-Z" Lego is made up of the Malkoff E2XTD head, an Oveready E35 body and a Surefire tailcap. As with the original Light Saber, it is intended for self-defense use with or without a pistol.
For more mundane illumination tasks, I also carry a Malkoff 1CR123-size 230-lumen light with about 90 minutes of runtime shown below;
I'm always in search of the ultimate EDC lights and these two lights cover the bases well for me, and are easy to carry.
I hope you enjoy this latest installment of Light Nerdery.
