You can't go wrong with a mag-lite setup from Jay + an FM throwmaster head (unless you don't like alot of light :)).
Here is the skinny.
Jays setup sits on a 14mm post that fits into the stock mag-lite reflector.
FMs TM head uses a 12.5mm reflector opening.
If you know ahead of time that you...
Just an FYI to all out there: The 2 cell XM-L mag mod w/ battery monitor that I got from Jay is now fitted with a Fivemega throwmaster head (I went with the FM2.5 so that was not too much of a difference in appearance). the only modification necessary was drilling one step down with an Irwin...
My stubby is definitely my go-to around the house. The full sized one is for anything away from home where I want the even more extended run time. I had some friends over a couple of weeks ago helping pack/move some heavy stuff and they were blown away by this light. The quality of the build and...
Hello,
Sparkss :paypal: for #127 HA Gray FM 2.5" Throw Master $105
Insurance $2.60 (for insuring a $100 value)
shipping $6
Total $113.60 (sent across two payments, plus extra to cover the per payment fees).
I have both (although the SB PR was from before he started offerring it with an XM-L) I do not regret purchasing either one. They both have their place and uses. I will say that I was thrilled when DL started offering this 8th run as I had been lusting after one of his lights for some time. :)...
I love teh black w/ the silver bezel. That contrast has always appealed to me. Didn't know there was a glow ring, was that an added option that had to be requested ? Can't wait til mine arrives (even though it isn't black :P) :)
Re: Throw observations with various reflectors and comparison to other lights
Well,t he throwmaster is a new head (or at least a head extension) + reflector, which is why I thought that it might work.
Worst case if I buy one and it doesn't fit the 2 cell, I could still use it on the stubby...
Re: Throw observations with various reflectors and comparison to other lights
Andy, Did your Jayrob light that you tested on have the voltage monitor ? I am interested in one of those heads, but wanted to see which one would actually fit the light (w/ a voltage monitor). TIA :)
how much if we want a spare tail cap shipped with our light ? (IE: mine was reserved w/ a GITD, but what if I want to swap it later for a black cap). I guess the more important question would be are they user swappable ? (is the switch accessible)
My Jetbeam BC-40 arrived last week, so I took it over to Jayrobs, just to do some comparisons. Not that I expected any different, but his light killed the BC-40, completely consuming the hot spot in our "wall tests". Not to mention the added run time that his provides. I like my BC-40 for what...
