For Sale:
I have for sale two custom built (by me :naughty Mag85 lights. Both lights are based on a Mag 2D frame, meaning that the WA1185 is being driven by 8 NiMH batteries. This is someone underdriven from the 9 battery configuration, but I always felt that they produce a tremendous amount of usable light while being a bit more gentle on the bulb, thus extending its overall bulb life. The lights provide about 35-40 minutes of battery life on a charge before rapidly dimming out.
The lights come with:
1) UCL Borofloat lens from Flashlightlens.com
2) Modamag MOP aluminum reflector (brand new)
3) Fivemega (?) built custom battery holder
4) Bi pin modified bulb holder (from a MagCharger Kit)
5) One slightly used WA1185 and a brand new backup WA1185 bulb.
6) Custom cut tail spring to allow for easy but positive contact with Battery cage.
6) A piece of USCG approved Solaric reflective tape adornes each light's tail.
In addition both bodies have been bored out by Modamag to accomidate just about any AA NiMH battery. This allows this light to be utilized for alot of other modifications if you ever get sick of the Mag85 configuration. For example, I know there is some talk about putting Li Ions in 2Ds.
I will include batteries for free, even though they are not in the greatest condition. They work perfectly, but before the lights were bored out it was a pretty tight squeeze which resulted in a bit of damage to the outer wrapper of the battery. I fixed this with a bit of electrical tape. Otherwise they are operationally perfect.
I'd say each light might have about 2 hours of runtime each. They are in perfect condition though.
One final note: If you'd prefer the stock PR based bulb holder, I can put that in there as well. But please be aware that in this configuration, I can only provide one potted WA1185 bulb. The pricing will remain the same.
Asking $100 each, shipped CONUS. PP Only please. International buyers, please add $10 dollars US.
First to post "I'll take it" on this thread will get priority. Please let me know which light you'd like: Green or Pewter.
Any questions, please feel free to PM me.
Thanks for looking!
