Bump...
I don't own a custom Maglite, but I'm interested in the 5,000 lumen. Matt, I believe I read where you wrote that the XHP-50 in this light provides better throw than does the XHP-70. If so, do you have any Lux numbers yet or maybe just a ballpark guess on how much throw I might expect to see from this 5,000 Lumen Custom 2 D size Maglite?
Also, what 26650 cell will provide the highest output regardless of run time? I'm assuming the "Add Finns" option is for improved heat management.
Thanks
Btw that Deft-edc-X Enthusiast WAS turned off! :mecry:

Ven, Matt is building me a custom light that isn't far off from what you posted. I believe you recommended Matt to me... unless I'm mixed up. I've made so many new friends here at CPF it's sometimes difficult for an older man like myself to keep up.
You're #1 though! Offgridled is a distant second.
