SHOW SOME LOVE FOR INCANS ! ! !

[vicv]

No pics and no fancy surefire yet... But l2p with ho9 and 2x aw Imr 18350s, l2m with 1x Aw Imr 18350 and eo4, and a solarforce l1200 with 3x Aw Imr 2000mah 18650. Can't wait till the bulb burns out so I can try a wa1185 or a 5706

I still love my incans, after all that's where it all started for me. I have a pretty diverse collection plus a lot of Maglites. I tend to collect any quality light with a regular incandescent or krypton or xenon bulb and a machined aluminum or metal body, similar to the original Maglite, which again is where it all started, as I'm not into plastic much. Here's what I've bought or collected over the years. There are 51 different lights (63 including duplicates) from 34 different manufacturers, and 54 different Maglites (71 total, including duplicates). They're all aluminum bodies except where noted:

Not according to the "color rendition index" part of what he posted.

 

[vicv]

I know. I was being sarcastic. That was put there for no reason except to probe led is better. I was replying good naturedly.

We need a sarcasm smiley!

Groutboy_1, have removed your two posts. They are OT and baiting. This is an incan thread. Please read CPF Rule 4. Please no more trolling in this thread.

Sweet collection magellan, but all those Mags and no solitaire?!!

 

[magellan]

LOL

You're right. . I've used them in the past but I suppose I need to buy one just for the sake of completeness.

 

[iaboyeah]

I kind like my MM incan, 1 in the snoot and 1 in the tail. I may just love it when there is a big EMP & THE LED's die. If you multiply average lumens by the run time my LED excels by a factor of about 40, 1 battery is cheaper than 40. I EDC both, but the incan is for spare cells or EMP which ever is needed.

instead of upgrading my mini mag i went and bought a stash of replacement bulbs so it can keep shinning.

 

[newbie66]

I wanted to get the Mini Mag incan but hesitated. Saving my budget for LED lights. When my wallet is thicker I would consider again whether or not get it. Too many lights that attract my interest!

 

[novice]

can y'all tell me if aspheric incans ever existed?

tobrien, you might want to check out this thread, with photos:

You can slap one of these on the end of a m@glite just for giggles, but it is not terribly useful, IMHO. It will focus almost anything you've got in said m@glite, led or bulb, but it also projects the exact shape of the the led/filament, and tends to produce a funkifized hotspot, with almost no sidespill whatsoever. Having said that, if all one had with one somewhere, was a m@glite and one of these, it would allow one to reach out further than normal. They are still available from Kaidomain, and they are fairly cheap.

thank you for the response, that's quite informative and I appreciate it tremendously. I had no idea the filament would be projected too.

thanks man!
