1000 Lumens Mag Production Inquiry

I guess I'm jonzing for this light as it seemed like a very cool size to lumens ratio that would be easy to use/carry and have a much better run time than an incan of the same lumens output.

Has anyone that was on the list of people to be contacted heard any news about the production on this light: http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=184937

Thanks, XPLRN

Err, why not ask in the other thread.

I sent a deposit on one 3 weeks ago. Mac indicated that the light should be shipped within 2 weeks of the deposit.

Paul, the other thread is locked.

Thanks also for answering the previous question about why I started a new thread.....locked thread equals no more posting capability!! :thinking: I'd PM'ed Mac previously and no response so I decided to place a query here on his forum to find out what's happening.

Thanks for the heads up that production is in motion. Your #16 and I'm #35 on the list sooo sometime in the future I'll be looking forward to hearing from Mac. :twothumbs

Has anyone else in the pre- #16 list received their light yet and if so what is your feedback on it!??? Beam shots?? :thinking:

I suspect that no one has received one, otherwise we would have seen some braggarts posting reviews and so forth. I could be wrong.

I have another of Mac's lights ("The Torch") and the workmanship is first rate. Its such a pleasure, for example, to have a Mag-lite with smooth tail threads that you don't have to wrestle with.

I talked to Mac a couple days ago and he is working on a bunch of lights (no idea what) Also if you look in the machining and materials you will see Mac has been dealing with machine issues the last couple weeks. Mac knows we ALL want his lights and I am sure he will get to everyone in due time... After all if he turned this stuff out in large numbers would we wait, desire or covet them nearly as much ??

Lights started shipping last week. The lights with the colors I had in stock and required no finning or fluting shipped first. The Fluted lights are delayed until I received the heads back from the CNC machine shop which should be early next week.


XPLRN you pm was received yesterday! I closed the thread as I only have parts for 20 lights and the response was overwhelming.

Nice to know the PM made the trip. Any probability that you might procure more light engines or is the light run going to be set at a quantity of 20??

That all depends on the availability of the Ostar LED's. My supplier is currently out of them and the reflectors have been on order for 3 months.

Mac

Wow that makes me the lucky 20 keep crossing my fingers

I got mine Saturday, and let me say is worth the wait. Has a wonderfull flood type beam, with hot spot in center. Talk about a wall of light, just amazing, and in such a small package. The beam is perfect, even for white wall hunters, if it doesn't scorch the paint. Machining is just as allways with Mac's work flawless.
Thanks Mac

What cd-card-biz said. This 15W LED light looks to be a keeper.

Hopefully I'll get to jump in on a next run if it happens

You can count me in for one if it becomes available.

she's at the mall to be picked up, but i'll post again with first thoughts. Here are my cells from AW.

here is my BLUE-tiful sleeper. mac needs to assign his creation a name.

i'm still messing around with the driver, i hope i figure it out, anyone here could simplify it for me ? i think it is the madflex

Cool

As for the Driver.......

Hold button down and it will ramp up each level until it reaches the highest level(5). A quick press will then turn the light off. Another quick press will turn the light back on to the last level it was turned off at.

If you turn the light on any level other than high and leave it on for a couple seconds it now locked at that level. If you press and hold the button for 1 seconds it will instantly go to level 5, another press for 1 second will bring the light back to the previous level.



Mac

Man...i am so in for one if it b/c's avail. Perhaps even a 3xRCR123 shorty version?
