M@g 3300L

[GLOCK18]

I have a 6'' long lime green host with a tail switch, is it possiable to use it with 2 26650 batteries.

WOW that is Nice!!!

[skunknuts79]

Hey Mac,

I'm in for a complete light!

Let me know if there are any other options to choose among....

Thanks!

Best,

i agree that 275 is a very reasonable price!!!!
under 4.5A it can give 3K lumen
while the SST-50 can only go 1200!!!

[ntalbot]

Count me in. I love the SR-91 and RRT-3, but a brighter, floody 4500K beam would be even better.
Mac, how long would you recommend running it on high? Just short bursts, or can it be kept on High for a good long while?

[Joe_torch]

Tino you can see in the picture I'm using the Lux-Rc modules also you can see the voltage range is listed at 4.8-9.6v you can go as low as 3v but will see slight output drop. As of right now there is no mode memory after 10 seconds of powering down it will revert back to starting on high. You switch levels like any of the tailswitch mode changing lights by interrupting the power via switch. My tailswitch is a reverse type. If you install the drop-in in a standard 2d mag with 2x 26650 cells it's a forward type.

Hi Mac,

Is it OK to use 2x D size li-ion instead of 26650 cells?

Thanks!

2 x D Cells equals 3v Maximum. You would need 4 cells @ minimum.

I think Joe means "Is it okay to use 2x D size li-ion cells, at 3.7 volts apiece, for 7.4 volts total?"

Yes 2x Li-Ion cells are ideal as long as they are large enough to handle 4.5 amps.

I do have a birthday coming up. Can't think of a better present! Already have plenty of socks and underwear after all.

Oh My... One, please. Warm, if you'd be so kind...

[wquiles]

10 of the new design heatsinks are finished

That is freaking AWESOME!

[LEDAdd1ct]

Mac, will these work in lights without the "D" character in the serial number?

Must the light have the "D" for this to fit/function properly?

[flashfiend]

Would this drop-in work in a host like the one below? It uses a 'D' head and 2x26500 Li-Ions.

[Nokoff]

I would like to see the beam compared to a 623 build, I'd imagine this would come close....

are you waiting to get the newer luxrc boards without preflash for this build? ty

They will not work with Mag's without the "D"

The Pre-Flash thing is really not a big deal and does not bother me or anyone I have showed the light to. The updated boards look like they won't be available until the end if the year.

Would this drop-in work in a host like the one below? It uses a 'D' head and 2x26500 Li-Ions.

Will the switch handle 5 amps? This drop in fits in the head so if the host can hold 2x 26650 cells then it should work with some slight tweaking.

That looks sweet!

Any news on sign-ups?? (Not to pressure, as I know you must be mega busy lol)

Best,

[AsianAnts]

OMG ....... i WANT!!! If i can, ill put this on my 4D mag instead!! ill move your other Mag drop in to my 3d host and put this one on my 4d!!!

I highly doubt you could use 2 cells but if you would like I could set the light up with 1 cell. You would have slightly reduced output.

I want the whole light (Black) please or drop in, whatever is offered.

I Notice there are optical lenses fitted would it be possible to fit different optics to give throw

If you want throw you need a single small die led, large diameter and deep reflector or aspherical lens.

If you won't mind working with me to get it to work in the host I showed above, I am interested in a drop-in.

Is the switch capable of 5 amps? Is it long enough for 2 65mm cells?

The switch will be VanIsleDSM's newly introduced FETtie and it is supposed to handle 25 amps. The host is designed for 2x26500 cells not 2x26650, but I use IMR LiMN chemistry Li-Ion cells so they should deliver sufficient voltage and amperage.

My concern is contact with the batteries. The host itself seems to have been designed for FM's G4 bi-pin socket. When I tried an ROP bulb instead of the socket, I had to use a magnet in between the cells to make electrical contact for the ROP to operate. I'm wondering if there was a way to make sure your drop-in worked with the FM host. I like its form factor because it is basically a 26mm bored 2C light that uses a Mag D head.

Thanks Mac for your consideration on my odd setup.

******

Just thought about it again and the ROP setup I described above may have been using the McClicky in the tail and not the FETtie in the tail right now (FETtie has longer spring than McClicky). I'll have to experiment tomorrow to see if I get different results.

Finally got to test the host again with my ROP bulb and so far no connection issues with the battery and the FETtie switch.

Therefore, please add me to the list of people interested in a Neutral drop-in.

[Led_Blind]

Hi Mac, How would one of the 3300l Neutral drop-in's fare with a 6D NiMH setup? Will it work in this config? If so i'd like to grab one please

A 6d Nimh Setup would be ideal.

What about a 3D host and (6) 1/2 D Cells?

http://www.amazon.com/MAGLITE-S3D106...2033108&sr=8-2

http://www.batteryjunction.com/0-5-d-cell.html

The cells are listed as max drain current of 3.5 A but I'm not sure if that's accurate or not.

[richpalm]

How about the heatsink alone for my own build? Can you sell it separately?
