So I am just inches away from making around 100 dollars worth of purchases to build a Mag85. I think that the whole mod thing is cool and I like the thought of a 3D lookin maglite performing like a champ...but is it really worth it?
Short run times, overdriven bulb to the point of it lasting only a handful of hours, finicky charching of the AAs. But It is just so damn bright and powerful that I almost cant resist.
I have been a pure LED kinda guy, pocket size only. And I am just branching into this "need" for a larger POWERful light. So I have little experience and knowlege.
My main question is...is there a similar size production light out there incan or led that is AS/MORE powerful and bright than the Mag85 for around $150 max?
If there is I just might have to consider it instead.
p.s. beamshots are MORE than welcome
