    Mag hotwire question

    If you use the philips, a good match is 6AA batteries, never flashed it and it puts out ~1300 lumens. I have flashed the philips on two 18650's. If you use two 18650's then the WA1111 is safe, you will get longer runtime than the philips but at around ~1100 lumens. It is getting hard to fine the...

    Hey CPF, I just wanted to show you a couple of my newest creations. You may remember these lights from this thread: My ~1300-lumen mag 761 and ~10000 lumen mag 458. Well, I cannabalized them into two new lights. Behold! A 4D maglite and 6D maglite with JimmyM's JM-PhD-D1 PWM Hotwire...

    My ~1300 lumen mag 761 and ~10,000 lumen mag 458

    Thanks! I agree, the maglite parts and lux's bulb data make all this possible. I just rebuilt these flashlights BTW and will be making a new thread in a few days; They are now fully regulated for constant output using JimmyM's hotwire regulators!

    Thanks! Indeed they do, they really do smooth out the edge of the hotspot into a nice circle and remove beam artifacts :)

    PhlatElephant - FM Elephant PhlatLight LED mod

    Awesome light. Surpised you never got any replies. Did you ever get around to taking any beam shots? Did the elephant heat up alot less then the maglite did?

    Thanks Jimmy, they look fantastic, allthough I have not had a chance to try them out yet because I am waiting for some Mag D bipin socket kits to arive by mail. I appreciate the generous offer you sent me via PM. I am going to take you up on it for sure so: :paypal: Unique Transaction ID #...

    Great information FM, I never knew the filament was more susceptible to shock when overdriven, and I had not considered that lux's testing in open air would also aid in keeping the bulb a bit cooler. I love my Incan mods. Wait until you see what I am going to do with your original elephant host...

    Need a 52mm Aspheric lens for Mag D Cell

    Sorry if this is not allowed but this is what I use: http://dx.com/p/50mm-18mm-2-80-degree-glass-optics-12834 It's a couple mm small though and will require you to be creative with O rings from the hardware store or other DIY techniques but I'm happy with the performance with my SST90 build.

    EDC big lights

    At work I carry a 2 or 3D maglite mod on the dorky maglite belt ring (I'm a supervisor at UPS but I have to look for stuck packages in converyor belts too). It's ok though, I have a reputation for being a little extravagant. I also use an electric cigarette with two stacked 18350 IMRs for high...

    "The Brothers" Twin stylish 2C mag11's

    Wow, thanks. I never even considered that bulb for some reason. That would be the brightest bulb and poof-proofest to use then since I can't use the phillips. Do they offer it in a bipin mode or is it only potted? *The phillips bulb that I love but have poofed in this light for reference*

    "The Brothers" Twin stylish 2C mag11's

    Thanks No problems on fresh IMR's, the system resistance brings the voltage down to safe levels (haven't tested vbulb yet though to see by how much). I didn't have enough resistance to not poof a philips 5761 on fresh IMR's though, but I will be using that bulb in a regulated build in the...

    Hey CPF. Just wanted to show off a couple of my newest lights. I made two of these, one for myself as an EDC for work, and one for my brother (will be the first custom flashlight I have gifted him). They are pretty simple, but classics nonetheless. The host is your standard 2C maglite. I have...
