Flashlight Enthusiast
Since cmac have uped the ante for the MiniHID world with his 5 Inch Wonder, I have to do the same to the high power LEDs world.
My son love flashlights, but most of the high power ones in the house is a little too cumbersome for him to handle. So this is my attempt to get something more suiteable for his little hands. A regulated, 1 hr+ runtime, and 200 lumens output light.
Why you ask this is "The One", well to my limited knowledge there are only a few modded original orange MagLite in the world. And two of them are in the CA Bay Area. This section was the left over of CroMagnet's Mag1D cutdown. To top this off the original lime green head and tailcap. I would have fluted or groove the head if I can find a place can anodize and produce the same shinny quality as the original.
=== Specs ===
Runtime: 90+ minutes
Max Light Output: 201.6 - 262.2 lumens
=== Parts List ===
1x orange MagSD body

Who's afraid of the buggieman? I got daddy's light to protect me. No need for nitelite either.
