    MN10 in M3 head on an M4 Devastator Body

    The M3 bulbs are designed to run on 3xCR123, the M4 is 4xCR123.

    Custom 3" C Turbo Head interest and question...

    But the whole point is, this is the INCAN forum. I'm looking for a big *** turbohead to run *incandescent* bulbs in. Perhaps you should try starting an LED turbohead thread in the appropiate forum? Like i keep saying, the LED towers are fine for what they are, but a lot of reflector is wasted...

    Custom 3" C Turbo Head interest and question...

    It's an X bin Lux V running at 833ma from about 6 years ago. Looks impressive enough, but the Surefire N62 bulb on fresh batteries absolutely smokes it. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=48261 Looks like the pictures have been lost somewhere.

    Custom 3" C Turbo Head interest and question...

    The problem with the LED tower/incan head is in the tower module itself; that skinny metal post can only conduct so much heat regardless of how you design the turbohead its connected to. Unless you're happy sticking to single die cree/seoul p4, even if the turbohead was actively cooled with...

    Custom 3" C Turbo Head interest and question...

    Guys, to get the best out of a LED, your best bet is to go with a head custom designed for one. Lumens factory has the P7 head, plus Surefire's own LED turbohead with a big fat 2.5" TIR optic will be very hard to beat. Seeing as Surefire have stopped developin incans, this is a rare opportunity...

    Custom 3" C Turbo Head interest and question...

    Not sure if they're polished, id guess yes. They are definetely treated on both sides with anti-reflective coating. If you plan to stick as close as possible to the original surefire design, you may want to reconsider using a glass lens. These turboheads are extremely lightweight in design...

    where can i get rechargable aa aaa c d and square 9v batteries

    Re: where can i get rechargable aa aaa c d 9v batteries None of those sizes come in 9 volts. The highest commonly available voltage in those sizes top out at around 4.1v in various lithium chemistries, something i dont think your energizer charger will handle. You might have more luck if this...

    Recent Mania w/ Tactical mega-SST* lights - not seeing it...

    The Maelstrom 1800 takes CR123/R123. 1800 lumens in an M6 size package is a very attractive proposition.

    Optimus is Dead - Need New Heir

    No clip, no adjustable level whilst powered down, but this comes pretty close; http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2929473&postcount=3

    confused which light for £250 is best

    If you can, wait and see how much 47's Maelstrom will cost. I suspect it will give most lights a run for their money in terms of bang-for-buck, even after factoring the cost of a set of rechargable CR123s.

    SF SRTH Turbohead filter

    As far as i know, there was only ever an Infra red filter released. God alone knows what the part number was, never saw one, not even a picture.

    SF SRTH Turbohead filter

    There are none. Surefire used to sell another turbohead with a deeper, threaded rim that you could screw filters into; the Short Rim Turbo Head trades this capability for more compact dimensions. I believe it's the T62 in this post by size15s...
