This is an older or prototype body I believe because it doesn’t feature the positive and negative symbols on the body itself. The edges here are machined and nicely rounded over allowing you to get a good grip and pull the cap onto the light, and tighten the nut with the other hand. The nut threads onto a small threaded brass shaft that keeps all 3 main body pieces of the light together.The tail cap itself has markings engraved on it to “Reload” and “Make Ready” to loosen, and tighten the tail cap. This keeps the light together and the clip in place. It’s cut like a gear but with the teeth being shallow and having flats. The rear is a seperate piece, it has a single central thumb nut that keeps things together. When you hold it like this, your finger naturally fits over the single switch. The bottom area is rounded over and just has small flat on the bottom with a small area of jimping where your index finger naturally sits. This taller area is where the emitter is and it’s sticks out the most. This top is a hexagon shape, with angular sides, corners are rounded over. The top, has some machined jimping, almost like a picatinny rail, but much closer together and not as sharp but enough to lock in for grip. The end profile of the light is almost a figure 8, with the outsides being a bit wider, than the middle. It’s a side by side battery configuration and a little bigger then a bic lighter. The shape of this light is different and hard to describe without seeing it. The light also came with a small wring where you could attach a lanyard if you wanted. Even the pocket clip is tumbled, which I like because it helps hide any scratches. My version here is a tumbled aluminium that’s been clear anodized. All the aluminium parts are manufactured using a Fanuc RoboDrill in Benjamin’s garage in the USA. All the edges are nicely chamfered and more. For instance batteries don’t rattle even with the cap off because the tolerances are so tight. You can just tell that a lot of time and thought went into the design of the Synergy 1. His level of detail and tolerances in the parts are first rate. I would like to see a certificate of authenticity or serial number card included, it’s pretty common in the custom knife and flashlight market.īenjamin is an instamachineist and owns his own IT services company. There isn’t a manual with this light, but it really doesn’t need one. On the outside the Frelux logo is laser engraved into the tin. Inside is a sticker showing battery orientation. There is laser cut foam that fits the light perfectly. The Synergy 1 comes in a small altoids sized tin. Thanks to Benjamin and /u/ ozythemandias for letting more people try this new little light. I didn’t buy it and by the time you have seen this review it will be sent on to the next lucky pass around member. It’s brighter than the previous and has better mode spacing. This is the first review I am aware of that features the updated driver, with the high CRI Nichia emitter. The light I have here is the FreLux Synergy1 pass around light, that has been going to various forum members to play with and review if that is what they do.
