How to create a superbright Maglite 6D and a powerful 2AA Maglite Mini?

[Opius]

Hi Guys and Girls!

I have recently dug out my old flashlights:
a Mag 6D with a Terralux TLE-300 mod.
a Maglite Mini LED without a head. (the one with 5 stages, sos and whatever)

so, to my questions:

I have done some reading on CPF, and i am totally lost. I want my 6D maglite to be superbright! but im not quite sure how to do it. Is there any way that anyone can link me a how to, or maybe some parts? i have read that the Osram 64623 Xenon bulb is a good thing for brightness. but im not sure.

As for daily purposes i want to use my Maglite Mini LED. Since i am missing the head, lens and reflector, i am open to any changes on that part, if not, ill buy replacements.

Hoping for a positive reply!

It says: "Not Available"

Will i be able to use the 64623 xenon bulb with this one?

The name of it is Unable, so i assume that it is impossible to get.

Can i use the 64623 xenon with this kit?

Unfortunately, the threads on the Mini-Mag and the Mini-MagLED are unique so you will have almost no chance to find a suitable replacement unless you can find a source for one. Fortunately for you, I have a complete black Mini-MagLED head that was given to me that I'll let you have. Please email me and I'll throw it in the mail on Friday.

pm him, i think he still had some left

If the Incan Dropin from AW is a no-go, is there any other way ?

Have i understood it correctly that the Maglite Mini Led is allmost impossible to modify to be stronger?

No, Osram 64623 is too big to fit and even if it fit will melt the socket in few seconds. You will need something like this along with aluminum reflector, Borofloat lens, proper batteries with correct overdriving voltage.

Can anyone help me with my Maglite 6D setup?

I think that the AW provided Incan Drop in will be my selection.
I think that the Osram 64623 Bulb will be my selection (mabye something else, give me a tip )

What batteries should i use?

What output can i hope for with selected setup?

My suggestion is 5 IMR 26650 and Osram 64458

You will need some spacer to hold the cells in center and make proper negative contact to spring and body.

Beside the switch/socket, aluminum reflector and Borofloat lens is necessary.

Hi Fm,

WOuld like to ask you what is the different between Osram 64458 and Osram 64623 since they are both takin 12v????

Osram 64458 can take much more overdrive than Osram 64623 therefore more voltage at more current equal to more power and result of more power is more brightness.

thank you FM, I am not sure about what is the type of battery Opius uses ?

I am currently using 6 D-Cell batteries from the grocery store. Going to upgrade.

What is normally used for spacing the batteries?
