Show your D and C mag mods

Show your cool and powerful mags!(must be D or C size) And if possible say how many lumens it pumps out.

Mag 2C Tri R2 @1000mA
Mag 2D Tri Q5 by Essexman
Mag 1.25D Quad SSC P4 by Wquiles
Mag 1.25D Penta R2 @1000mA .... gets hot fast
Mag 1D P7 direct drive (commandeered by the Mrs)
Mag 1C Malkoff dropin
Mag 1D pending project, R2 @ 1200mA + aspheric lens
Mag 2D KD dropin + MG aspheric lens
Mag 1D P7 direct drive
Mag 2C untouched at the moment ... maybe another quad emitter build
Mag 1D shorty P7 DD by Plasmaman
Mag 1D P7 by Ccmaclel ( not pictured)

Vrey nice collection of these mags.

TerraLUX TLE-300 drop-in powered by 6xAA, UCL lens, 600 lumens. Flash-Cap tail. Not the most sophisticated build, but at $110 total, definitely a bang-for-the-buck winner.

RCatR made "C" host with R2 WC Cree driven by Flupic Ver 2.2 and a Surplusshed Aspheric 50 x 35 Fl with a Kiu Stainless Steel VX bezel and a Mag-clickie

It is powered by 1 Li-ion "C" battery and also have an extension to drive it with 3 alkalines/NiMh.

now that is SICK!

i like how its fluted on the bottom half of the head.... with fins all around

tx101 - Where did you get those polished bezels?

AlexGT-I would love to see some beamshots of that little beast!

They are made by CPFer Download
You can buy them

I posted some on this post when I was comparing to another mod I did

4C Mag
4sevens P4 CMag heat sink, filed down for the P7
SSC P7 DSW0I-bin
SOB1000 driver
UCL
Stock reflector (cam removed)
Runs on 4xC alkalines or NiMH

Heavily underdriven P7 is probably running at Vf~3.1V. Another very cool-running setup that still puts out an estimated 300 lumens.

The LED


SOB1000 driver wired up to attach to the LED. Wire on the left goes to LED-. Wire on the right goes to LED+.


SOB1000 in the 4sevens heat sink. Solder has been put down on the center anode pad and the outer ground trace ring for later attachment of the 4C Mag's switch wires.


Filed down 4sevens P4 CMag heat sink on the right (P7 DMag heat sink on the left)


P7 glued to the heat sink using Arctic Alumina epoxy. I chose AA over Arctic Silver because the filing exposed some bare aluminum and I didn't want any potential problems with the P7's slug. I used 24 gauge, stranded Teflon wire, which barely fits past the P7.


Side view of the P7 on the heat sink


Hardwired Mag switch. Brown and white wire will be soldered to the center anode pad of the SOB1000. White and black wire will be soldered to the outer ground trace ring of the SOB1000. The wire is 22 gauge, stranded Teflon wire. The Mag is actually an old version body (i.e., it doesn't have the letter "C" in the serial number). I tightly wrapped strips of aluminum foil to fill the ~1mm gap between the heat sink and the Mag body. But since this is a very cool running setup, this was more for mechanical support (keeping the heat sink in the Mag tube, keeping the P7 centered) than for heat management.


Everything hooked up and assembled. Beam quality about the same as with the SSC P4 LED. The P7's hot spot is not as tightly focused as with the P4 and the P7's hot spot has more defects in it. The P7's spill is wide, bright, and smooth and doesn't have the P4's single bright ring in the middle of the spill.


Beam shot, from about 7 feet. Unfortunately, my camera can't capture the fine details of the hot spot. The image is totally oversaturated by the intensity. The hot spot does not look this good in reality.


Comparison beam shot from a 3D incandescent Mag

Sweet thread! I will hopefully add my first mag mod to this thread soon. Just waiting for the teflon wire, UCL, P7 DSXOJ and heatsink.
I will be using 2 AMC7135 boards in parallel to produce 2amps hopefully. I wonder how hot/cool this will run? Can't wait

I am working on a parallel 18650 solution for the mag 2D in the meanwhile.

Absolutely beautiful Light.

3D Cree P4 ... Moded Terralux ...

An HAIII natural 2C M@G w/Malkoff Triple. Has UCL and custom delrin battery sleeve to hold either 2x17500's or 3xCR123's for no rattle.

Cut down C mag. no side switch.. mounted a tail switch instead.
Dereelight DBS smooth reflector
Cree Q5 WC at 1.5amps
AW18650

Great little thrower.

Had to mount the heatsink further down into the body to allow room
for the deep dereelight reflector. Used a large oring to take up the
space between the reflector and the bezel.







in a fully lit room, it still projects a nice spot.

Nice Mod Clint! Never seen a DBS reflector inside a Mag before, thanks for sharing!

Man thank all of you guys for the good pics. All of these flashlight are giving me great ideas. :devil:
