Old Magchargers

I have my hands on lots of old magchargers that have come out of our work trucks over the years. Some have broken lenses others switches and things like that. Is there any fixing these up of should I just chuck them out? I dont really care to keeps incans around but dont know of any led solutions for these. So if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Thanks
Zach

Zack, don't "chuck them out". You may be able to get lens and switches from Mag. Check out the Terralux TLE-100 and TLE-300MR-EX LED drop-ins.

Lighthound has the TLE-100.

If you don't want to mess with them, put them up for sale here.

Don't throw them out! Someone here will will take them, I could use a "rescue" project. PM me if you wanna unload one.

Magcharges hosts? interesting! :naughty:

If you have any left over let me know if I have the cash I will take one.. I have been looking for a host for my next project.

I'd take one too if you want to part with it !!!

I will get these together this week. I will report on condition of them. I think they will break down and fit in a small flat rate box. I will scrounge the shop they are littered everywhere. I will let you all know.
Thanks

I'm a little late chiming in here, but I'd recommend you at least keep a good (relatively speaking) one for yourself to play with!

That said, if there are enough, I'd be interested in one.

I could use an extra cradle. Heck if you've got enough parts to cobble together an extra light, I'd be interested too.

As a side note, these would be difficult to upgrade to led with proper heatsinking. But that does not mean they are obsolete. The MC85 upgrade can still hold it's own and then some. Tons of throw, instant on, and approx 1000 lumens for 45 minutes, and the battery can even stay in the light for charging. I'd venture to say a mc85 will outhrow any similar sized led that does not use an aspheric lens.

interested in one
