Hi.



I'm interest in converting a Mini Maglite to give a higher output. I've used a couple of different 1 Watt LED conversions (Nite-Ize, Terralux), but they aren't overly impressive.



I've read about the Auroralite hotwire conversion, and know that they have been out of production for a few years, but wondered if anyone would be able to produce a similar conversion kit, or if it were possible to assemble one from pre-existing parts?



Many thanks

Stephen

I have ordered the lenses, reflector, batteries, and a Tl-3 bulb, but I can't find a ceramic switch anywhere. Anybody know a source for one?

Unfortunately, it is the ceramic bulb holder that is the sticking point :( - everything else is pretty common and easy to get hold of.

Thanks for the reply, I was afraid of that. Guess I'll have to find another use for the AW IMR 14500s.
