First off i hope this is in the right section:thinking: it seemed like the best place to put it anyway:laughing:
Basically i bought my girlfriend a 4d mag to keep in the car while shes driving around on her own at night, it was bright enough i suppose but there never really bright enough, so i was considering buying a terralux 140 lumen upgrade for it which are on ebay for £15.95 gbp, not bad to be honest.
I then realised that i had an old beat up romisen rc-g4, you all know whats coming dont you..............:laughing:
4d maglite..............
What's this i see in there........?
It lives.......!
I did this mod for a bit of a laugh and to cure a short spell of boredom, unfortunately i didnt take any build pictures as i honestly didnt expect it to be as nice as it turned out, i used the rc-g4 reflector because it focused a hell of a lot nicer than the cut mag reflector.
After making this i was thinking to myself about whether or not i would of been better buying the terralux 140 lumen drop in, here is my comparisons.....
Price...........
Terralux...£15.95
Mine...£10.95 ish for the rc-g4 and about £1.00 for the glass lense
Lumens.....
Terralux...140 lumens
Mine...160 ish lumens
Modes...
Terralux...1 mode (on/off)
Mine...3 modes (hi/low/strobe)
Runtime...
Terralux...No idea
Mine... Havent tested yet:thinking: going to be a long time me thinks as its still running on 4 d cell's.
Yeah im pretty pleased with this light, yeah it looks a little strange but i can get past that purely because it now has modes:laughing:
Thanks vinny.
