Just thought I would start a thread for my fellow incan lovers and share some pics of some of my collection. Please feel free to post pictures of your own "pimped" incans, but please include a description of the parts or modifications that make it "pimped". Thanks and enjoy!
This is a Surefire 6P with a custom amboyna burl overlay. The body is bored to accept 18650's. The tailcap sports AW's 3 level softstart and Moddoo's stainless clip. The bezel is stainless as well. FM's D26 bi-pin with Strion bulb gives this light incredible throw with decent runtimes. Still waiting on Moddoo's Ti tailguard for this light. Rides in a SF holster with belt clip.
Here's my collection of square-bodied Surefire A2's. Each of them is pimped with an Aviatrix ring, glowpowder behind the LED's, FM's Strion bi-pin adapter, OS's delrin tailguards, and tritium vials in the clips. They all run on li-ions. When camping, they ride in various SF holsters or custom kydex holsters.
This Surefire M6 is sporting a stainless bezel and three tritiums in the fins, but the pimping is on the inside. Pictured is one of my homemade regulated softstart 3x 17670 battery packs. It is regulated to 7.5V so it runs my MN15's and MN20's really nice. Everything is interchangeable inside to run just about anything anyone else is running in their M6's these days. Sometimes it wears a diffuser, red or blue filter. This one rides in a Blackhawk holster.
My other M6 is pimped with a stainless bezel and trits in the fins as well, but for longer runtimes, this one sports a superbly well done petrev extention to accommodate two D sized li-ions. Inside is an AW 3 level softstart switch, and an FM bi-pin adapter with WA1111. Lots of power.
This is a Surefire handgun light modified to be used as a headlamp. This is pimped because it is one of the few headlamps out there that can take a D26 lamp or LED drop-in. The bezel is a cutdown G2Z bezel with glowpowder in the bezel ring. It rides on a weaver mount attached to the headband. It runs on 2x CR123a or 2x RCR123a. It has dozens and dozens of configurations possible, and the switch is durable enough for use with IMR's.
These are two Surefire E2e's. Both have modified flip-up diffusers (SF doesn't offer these). Both have FM's bi-pin adapters for use with the Strion or TL3 lamps to make them fully rechargeable. They are both older bodies so they fit 17670's quite comfortably. They both sport trits in the clips and ride in custom kydex holsters.
This is a vintage Rayovac "Billioneer" flashlight that is pimped with a 8x AA regulated softstart battery pack. With a name like "Billioneer" this classic might have been the first pimped production light.
Next are two Surefire G2Z's with grip rings removed and replaced with Novatac clips. Both have stainless bezels and can wear various flip-up colored lenses and diffusers. Both have two trits in the fins. One has a P91 powered by two IMR's with an AW 3 stage softstart switch for a brilliant 500 lumes. The other has a 3200K incandescentish two level XPE drop-in with Netkidz forward clicky (sometimes has an FM D26 bi-pin lamp instead of the drop-in). These two are probably my most used and abused lights. I love 'em! They usually ride in the pocket, but sometimes they go in the speedholster.
This is a Fulton anglehead light that runs on either a 6 cell lamp or ROP lamp and two D sized li-ions. The plastic lens was replaced with mineral glass, the bezel is painted with glowpaint, and a Blizzard Creek flip-up scopecover was modified to serve as a diffuser. Classic design and very functional light for projects and camping.
This is my Surefire M3 with a stainless bezel, 3 tritium vials in the fins, and an AW softstart 3 stage switch in the tailcap. This light runs on two 17500's (or 17670's with HA A19). I just run stock lamps in this because I have so many of them, but I also made a ceramic bi-pin lamp adapter for use with the TL3 lamp as well. The bezel is already opened, so it easy to use D36 lamps or drop-ins if preferred. This one has an assortment of colored lenses and diffusers including the infared cover. When not in its Pelican case, this one rides in a Ripoffs holster.
Here's an older photo of some of the tritium in action.
....and this is a pic of my next "pimping" project, a classic Big-Beam lantern.
I hope you have enjoyed my incans as much as I have enjoyed "pimping" them. Please share some of yours!
