Finally got some of my M@g 2D ROP parts in and got it working with the low bulb so far...will update here with pics when its complete...with 2 - 18650 protected trustfires and no resistance mods i measured 8.2volts on the batteries in series and 1.95 amps at the tailcap...not sure but probably in the neighborhood of 600 -700lumens :twothumbs
Its brighter than i thought it would be! Its got good throw on tight focus...still waiting for alu reflector, then i'll pop in the borafloat with it...running no more than 15 - 20 second bursts so far...but i'm impressed with the output (i'm used to leds and dim incans) I heard the high bulb is a little more sensitive to voltages in my battery setup..Question: since my li-ions top out at 8.4volts on full charge, would i need a soft-start if i decided to try out the high bulb? I dont want to have to keep ordering bulbs to replaced ones getting burnt too quickly
