F1 Flashlight
The Eryx F1 flashlight is our flagship light. It was over a year in development and has been, by far, the most challenging and satisfying project we've taken on. Watch the video and read on for more details.
Machining
We love machining and design every product to take full advantage of the modern CNC tools we use. The crown jewel of machining on the Eryx is the Dragonskin battery barrel. The Dragonskin texture was inspired by snake skin. We then took that inspiration and blended it throughout the whole design. From the scales on the bezel to the fully milled titanium pocket clip it all is blends together seamlessly.
Design
The Dragonskin texture is a sensory overload that you'll find hard to put down! It has a sharp yet silky smooth feel to it that's easy on the hands and still provide's excellent grip for your every day carry needs. The fully milled titanium pocket clip has been designed to be simple and easy to clip to most pockets and has had its texture milled to match the scales on the lights bezel.

Light
We chose a high quality LED to light Eryx. The standard LED is a Nichia 219c in a warm white color rendition. The bulb is mounted to a metal core PCB (MCPCB) and secured to a solid copper pill which is mounted to the external heat sink to manage and dissipate the heat from the LED. The light shines through a LEDil Boom reflector and it's all capped off with a custom made sapphire lens. It has a tested output of 1035 lumens.
Electrics
Driving Eryx is the powerful and highly programmable Dr Jones H17Fx driver. We use silver plated, teflon insulated wire in our lights due to it greatly enhanced performance over other wire. The Mcclicky switch, which is in the tail cap is the highest quality switch on the market and is forward switching. That means you can momentarily activate the light by lightly pressing it before fully clicking it on. The standard battery barrel is for a lithium ion 18350 cell.

We've taken the humble flashlight and poured every bit of our machining experience into refining it to perfection. Every detail has been considered right down to having the finish on the titanium clip match the finish on the bezel to the subtly engraved logo in the tail cap. We here at Focusworks hope you enjoy your light as much as we enjoy making them for you.
