McGizmo Custom LED Options

Photos I took yesterday in the darkest room I could find at my office. Pictures are L/M/H

 

[archimedes]

Might want to try swapping it into a Mule bezel ....

 

[RedLED]

Try it outside, you have light bouncing all around the room. I really love mine. If you hit a dark surface, it will not throw anything back, it takes it in. I use mine as a back stage light for events I cover, I don't reflect any white light anywhere.

I installed two red tritium vials alongside the LED looks cool at night, weak but red tritium reflects back the least.

That red is so neat.

 

[RedLED]

It really is!

Hurry up dark

Since I own a Red Sun Drop, I'd love to hear your reactions the light?

This light is great. It gets better the darker it's gets. Which makes it perfect for hunting and camping.

Curious how the red Haiku compares? I assume it is less flood more throw but can you elaborate?

A part of me is still a bit torn about the fact that the Sundrop is kind of the middle of the road. Not near as much flood as a mule and not very much throw either. But like I said it is getting better the darker it gets

Thanks for the beam shots! They are very difficult to find when it comes to colored LED's. Looking forward to seeing the outdoor shots.

My Red Haiku throws red light pretty well on high, frankly, I like my Sun Drop. The mule is a little wider and less throw.

I like the round beam of the Sun Drop for red.

 

[astewartconst]

The round beam is just something I am not use to. I am glad to own it and can see many good uses for it.

I am intrigued by a red mule now though. How is the flood of a red mule compared to a 119v mule for example? Is the red equally as floody

 

[RedLED]

The mules throw light in all directions, like 180 degrees, or a little less.

One thing I think that's pretty cool about the Mule and SunDrop is the straight forward and ease in, light engine exchanges. If one doesn't have enough need for a dedicated build or setup, one can swap out trade heads with light engines as need might arise. If you have a 119v Mule on hand try swapping LE's with the SunDrop and see how the 119V fares in the SunDrop head and red LED in Mule head. Obviously you need to use the right battery pak for the LE.

Thanks Don.

I will look at them tomorrow and try that. Never messed with the lights but I assume the light engine just screws out of the head.

....Never messed with the lights but I assume the light engine just screws out of the head.

Yes, the LE will unscrew out the back of the head. You can use some needle nose pliers on the two notches in the back end of the can for a drive to get the LE loosened.

 

[archimedes]

That's the beauty of a modular system such as this ....

 

[astewartconst]

Wow that was easy....what amazing lights these are. Thanks Don

I am thinking for my use the red mule and 119v Sundrop will be perfect. Maybe add a red thrower to balance out

Anyone tried a red Makai? Or red TerraMule...not sure if either can be done but I bet that would be really cool

 

[archimedes]

Yes, I prefer the Red in the Mule bezel and the N119 in the SunDrop, too ....

What are you going to use the lights for? Mine are not to be seen and used at productions as a guide light.

I will use the red lights for camping and hunting. I can see keeping the red in my mule and looking for something to add that would give me red throw. Do I need two...probably not. Do I want two, yes

Then a red Haiku would be great. I'll retest mine and give you an update, haven't had it out in a while.
