I've done quite a bit of research here on the ROP mag mod.
I'm lost as far as the AA converter to D or C size cells. I don't know alot about batteries and amps and such so....
So far, I've ordered a Borofloat lens, and set of bulbs from Lighthound - $13+ shipping for both.
I then have picked out a metal reflector, haven't ordered it yet.
So which is the easiest Mag model to purchase in order to complete this? Again, I'm unaware of which AA to C or D converter to get, and where to find it other than from members of the board. Is there a way to build an ROP using the C or D cells designed for the light? If not, how much do the guys here charge for the converter? Anyone got a pic of what it looks like?
And lastly, just look over my parts checklist and tell me I've got this right..
1.) Mag Host (please specify the easiest host to do this with)
2.) Borofloat Lens
3.) Pelican Big D 3854 bulb set
4.) Metal reflector from Sandwich Shoppe
5.) AA battery conversion thingy
6.) A set CBP1650's have been replaced according to their website. Is the [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]IB200AA okay for this?[/FONT]
I'm hoping for 1k lumens out of the HI bulb so I want to make sure the host I pick is capably of achieving this.
PS - Yes I've read this http://lights.lightrefineries.org/?page_id=9
According to this link above, he claims that in the 4C mag config, you can load these SubC cells directly in with no soldering/paper wrapping. What exactly is a SubC?
