This was built as the RED follow-up to the BLUE "Ancient Light" build here. The "Elder Beam" is another antique torch conversion, with a few new innovations relative to it's younger (older?) brother.
- Mitsubishi 635 @ ~500mW.
- Giant heatsink, tapered, and polished.
- Uses the Mosquito RED 1A single cell driver.
- Original antique dual clicky - momentary and on/off.
Here's where it gets neat
- Built in lithium ion cell, with charging port inside the rear tailcap.
- Integrated voltmeter triggers when the beam is active, shows the cell's voltage to indicate whether charging is required.
