I think I've asked this before, but can't find the responses?

1. What's the stock runtime of a fully charged MC?
2. What's the stock runtime of a fully chaged MC with the WA01160?
3. The output of a stock MC is comparable to ______?
4. The output of a MC with 1160 is comparable to _______?

TIN,

1. I dunno. I swapped the bulb with WA01160 right away. But the manual sez 1.5 - 2 hours.
2. I measured this 3 times. Average out to be 35 minutes full bright white light output. At 38 minutes it started to yellow but still a lot of output. At 40 minutes it's so dim and yellow-orange as to be useless.
3. Stock MC brightness is about 50% brighter than a surge.
4. Output of MC with 1160... I am left speechless. I have heretofore not owned any torch as bright as this one.

Interesting note: I had thick fog tonight and took the MC w/1160 out for a walk. It was like holding a very long bright light sabre. The fog made for a very cool effect. Like a laser except bright bright bright.

Oh the output of this MC w/1160 combo is about 20 watts and 456 lumens which I looked up is equivalent to a 40 watt A-type bulb. If you shine the spot on the back of your hand about 6 inches away, you'd feel intense burning, I couldn't hold it in a single spot for long!

Alright Ginseng! What you got up your sleeve now? I know you and S4 were collaborating on something... Give man! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nascar, there is no easy mod like the 01160/MC for output; it's the King. "Easy" meaning: drop in bulb replacement, recharges internally (no removing AA's, etc), uses all stock components that come with MC. You can add higher capacity batteries for increased runtime (35/stock, 50-55 Powerstream, 65? Wilkey pack)

Be advised, my friend, that you will get an unattractive Mag beam from this light. It will, however, be bright. Personally, I love this combo. I am pursuing a Perfect Mag Reflector from Otokoyama to smooth out mine. He is also working on a 3" "Magdaddy" head for even more smooth throw. This light glows and throws like... nothing else short of a specialty incan mod. Or spotlight.
