    Introducing "Draco" - - - PART 2

    Modamag, Received my light, #21. I am absolutely stunned by the fantastic performance and quality. It's replacing my Firefly 2 on my keychain, and I love my Firefly. I love the turning action - very smooth. After using the two-stage spring switch on the Firefly, it's so refreshing to have a...

    Introducing "Draco" - - - PART 2

    Paid in full, spreadsheet looks good, address in Paypal. I'm moving to a new house at the end of November. If the shipping date gets fairly close to that, let me know and I'll give you my new address.

    "Introducing "Draco" [Accepting Deposit].

    Re: Introducing "Draco" That sounds awesome. I'm in for the U-bin LuxIII and the uPIC. CroMAGnet: somehow I got put in spot 72 - I'd like to have 21 (see post #344) since it is open. Thanks - I appreciate all your hard work.

    "Introducing "Draco" [Accepting Deposit].

    Re: Introducing "Draco" I'm still in for an Aluminum version. (Serial #112 - I don't care about the serial number for the light, although if 21 does open up I'd love to have it) A few questions: 1. What are the current levels for the uPIC? (I'm hoping lo and hi will be equal to the standard...

    "Introducing "Draco" [Accepting Deposit].

    Re: Introducing "Draco" I'm interested - Aluminum, lanyard, non-turbo Still wondering about price, brightness, flood/spot. I'm also wondering about battery availability and how they will be charged.

    What would you consider the ultimate flashlight?

    Well, if anyone wants my total fantasy light: Small - about 2/3 the length of Arc AAA with same width. Variable focus - from pure flood to pinpoint laser; however this could decrease the ease-of-use - when coupled with the variable brightness, it would need two places of rotation, though I...

    MagCharger60/85 questions and usefulness

    I second everything sjackal said, and I would like to add something to question 2): Don't forget that a MC85 setup needs a higher voltage than MC60. Most people solve this by using 9 AA batteries in holders. This obviously complicates the charging setup, but a simple charger mod can alleviate...

    Introducing the CR2 Ion Flashlight (First Light)

    Re: Introducing the CR2 Ion Flashlight [ QUOTE ] Endeavour said: The light is not going to be 500mA. Regardless of the two stage switch, 35 minutes of runtime for very little brightness gains is not worth it. Please don't ask about it anymore. I actually had some people seriously say 866mA...

    make battery fro flashlight

    I think the answer is probably yes, but it would be really hard to do and very expensive. It would be virtually impossible to find a manufacturer who would/could do this, at least at a reasonable price. Besides, it probably wouldn't increase battery life very much anyway, since there usually...

    CR2 Ion Flashlight: Current Settings Poll

    [ QUOTE ] Endeavour said: Hot hot will it get? That won't be known until right before production, since people who will get these to review will have means of measuring temperature - I don't have that kind of equipment. 350mA is warm, over 100 degrees on the Arc LS I've got. 500mA is hot, makes...

    CR2 Ion Flashlight: Current Settings Poll

    I don't know why we are voting on this at this time. We don't have enough information on which to base a decision. This is a new converter and circuit. We don't know how long the battery will last, how bright it will be, or how hot it will get. Rather than cement ourselves into positions...

    BiPin Mag: The First Mag-MagCharger Hybrid

    Ginseng, Not to get too off topic, but don't forget that there is a simple, no-cost mod that will allow a stock MC cradle to charge 9 cells. All you have to do is short the blue resistor in the charger, and it will drop the current enough that the wall-wart can handle the power requirements of...

    Introducing the CR2 Ion Flashlight (First Light)

    Re: Introducing the CR2 (Prototype Pictures Posted The protos look great. Can't wait to see the finished product. Any chance you could get a pic next to a FireFly2 (with both tailstanding)?

    Introducing the CR2 Ion Flashlight (First Light)

    Re: Introducing the CR2 Ion [ QUOTE ] Endeavour said: A few quick notes: The light will not accept a CR2 Li-Ion, the convertor is not a dual step-up, step-down board and will not run with a 4.2v cell. [/ QUOTE ] Not to be nictpicky, but... It seems to me you are saying the converter is...

    Introducing the CR2 Ion Flashlight (First Light)

    Re: Introducing the CR2 Ion It seems to me it shouldn't be too difficult to offer different brightnesses to the people who want them (then again I have no idea what I'm talking about). Maybe upon pre-order people could choose between 350mAh and 500mAh. The same thing could be done with the...

    Introducing the CR2 Ion Flashlight (First Light)

    Re: Introducing the CR2 Ion [ QUOTE ] Kiessling said: 500mA is toooo much !!! --> HEAT: the FireFly at 650mA is already a very hot light, and this one is significantly smaller with less mass ... not good. --> RUNTIME: this is a CR2 cell, not a CR123. So in order to make it a useful tool, we'd...

    Introducing the CR2 Ion Flashlight (First Light)

    Re: Introducing the CR2 Ion I'm very interested, depending on price. What's the official word on Li-ion support? Will it accept a 4.2V input? That would be a VERY attractive feature to me. I vote to make it as bright as possible - 700mA would be nice, 100mA on low. -Stuart

    Will M*g 3D melt by using WA01185?

    To find the runtime, simply divide the Ah of the batteries (in this case, 2.000 Ah) by the A of the bulb (3.15 A). This yields hours. Here, 2/3.15 = about 0.63 hours = about 38 minutes. The usable time will be less than 38 minutes since at the end the light will be quite dim. Keep in mind...

    M@g D-cell reflector

    There is a group buy going on right now. The reflector will fit both C-cell and D-cell Mag-lites, and it's all aluminum so it will withstand high-heat bulbs. You'll want an LOP (light orange peel - light sputtering) or MOP (medium orange peel - medium sputtering). I personally prefer MOP...
