When the AuroraLight was new, it was a way to host a TL-3 bulb in a mini-mag with two 14500.
A related version of this mod gained the nickname of the "MiniBeast", effective at slinging 400 torch lumens out of a minimal, at the cost of very short burns, overheating, and pushing LiCo batteries to dangerous extremes.
I've been working on an AuroraLight for a while, and I now have found all the parts, save bulb and batteries. This being the age of the IMR cell, AW's fine red products will power this monster. What is the most crazy awesome incandescent that I can put into it? The pin spacing is the same as a stock Mag bulb, and all polymer components have been replaced with aluminum and ceramic - so go crazy.
I suspect the answer is a certain Fivemega/Carley custom, but I don't know if they're available in "Reliable" yet - the last batch I read about was failing with distressing frequency and violence.
