I've spent quite a bit of time over the last several days, reading up on some of the various modifications to the 2-C Mag-Lite. My love for the 2-C MAG has been growning ever since I've first held my Space-Needle II. It the best feeling form-factor I've ever held. It just feels so right and balanced in my hand and can be quickly used as a club, if and when the need ever arises.
In spending many hours reading the various posts so far, here's what I've done to put new-life into my 2-C MAGS.
-UCL lens.
-Radio Shack KPR112 bulb.
-3 123-cells.
These 3-changes alone have really made this MAG a kick-*** light. On top of that, you can't beat the price and I never need to be extremely concerned about losing the light, lending the light or breaking the light. Compare that to losing a SF M3 or something along those lines and we're talking some serious $$$.
What other combinations of bulb, batteries, reflector setups am I missing? I've read abou using a TigerLight lamp, however some special PR base socket part is needed. I've also read about a Carley lamp, however I'm unsure if that requires the base socket also or if it's plug-and-play.
