Here are the proposed configurations;

Configuration 1

• 1-CR123 body
• Malkoff Bodyguard head
• Clicky tailcap
• Power options: CR123, 16340 Li-ion, 18350 Li-ion

Configuration 2

• 1-CR123 body
• Single output: 900 lumens/12,000 candela
• Clicky tailcap
• Power options: one 16340 Li-ion, one 18350 Li-ion

Configuration 3

• 2-CR123 body
• Single output: 900 lumens/12,000 candela
• Clicky tailcap
• Power options: two CR123, one 16650 Li-ion, one 18650 Li-ion

Configuration 4

• 2-CR123 body
• Single output: 650 lumens/70,000 candela
• Momentary only tailcap
• Power options: two CR123, one 16650 Li-ion, one 18650 Li-ion

Thanks for the feedback thus far!

A correction to Configuration 4 above - in order to accept two (2) CR123 batteries, output is 500 lumens/55,000 candela. The head that produces 650 lumens/70,000 candela will NOT accept CR123 batteries, only Li-ion 16650 or 18650 cells.

Corrected info;

Configuration 4

• 2-CR123 body
• Single output: 500 lumens/55,000 candela
• Momentary only tailcap
• Power options: two CR123, one 16650 Li-ion, one 18650 Li-ion

My goal is to keep the builds "dual fuel" compatible so that CR123 batteries or Li-ion cells can be used. For those who are comfortable with Li-ion rechargeable batteries, there will be Li-ion only builds offered that will offer greater performance (output and/or run time).

I plan on ordering the supplies for the first lot (4 to 6 lights) in the next few weeks, so any input on a configuration you would be interested in would be helpful.

Thanks!

Clickbait. I thought this was going to be about actual LEGO's.

I am very disappoint.

You forgot Configuration 5: All of the above and Configuration 6: Mods here are shit

I may have missed it, what’s the use case? Task light? Fighting light? Both?

I obviously suck at posting polls! :-0

Primary use I'd describe as "fight light" and threat detection/deterrence. The lights need to be compact and lightweight (easy to EDC), yet powerful enough to fulfill the task. So, definitely not task-oriented but could be used as such in a pinch.

For Config #4, which (manufacturer/model) tailcap did you intend to use?

I can use any E-series tailcap, but this is the one I'm planning on using outside of special request;

https://www.lumensfactory.com/en/pro...il.php?pid=501

Reasons;

1. I like the semi-shrouded design. I can grip it like this and easily activate momentary operation but it's (nearly) impossible to click it to constant-on without using the tip of the thumb;
   
2. It uses an easily replaceable McClicky switch, which has a long track record of reliability and decent current handling (5+ amps). Can also be modified for momentary-only on request.
3. It comes with a lanyard loop
4. A deep pocket clip will be offered as an option
5. The shape helps prevent the light from slipping forward in the hand

If there is a different tailcap that's preferred I'd be happy to use it. Feel free to PM me.

Also are you good with Li-ion rechargeable cells or do you need to stick to CR123 batteries?

Cool, thanks. Just trying to understand your approach/reasons because I've been thinking of a similar but slightly different lego build of my own with a slimmer E2 style Malkoff head.

I like your approach with the rechargeable cells as primary but still CR123 compatible.
