    Sold/Expired === Draco Payment === (Shipping AA6061 version)

    Sorry Trashman, I was able to sneak my name in on the list. But you'll be happy to know that #026 is safe and sound here in Oregon.

    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" [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...

    What is the max current I can expect from -

    [ QUOTE ] wtraymond said: I'm guessing that I'll get ~700ma max out of a AA Li-ion. Will a R123 provide more current than the Li-ion AA or just more capacity? Would the BB750 config do a better job than the BB1000 since the max current is only ~700 anyway? [/ QUOTE ] An AA battery is...

    What is the max current I can expect from -

    I can tell you right now that a single AA NiMH/NiCD/Alkaline/Lithium will not run a NexGen BadBoy, especially at a high current such as 750 or 1000mA. I also want to make clear the difference between an AA Lithium and an AA Li-ion. Energizer makes some Lithium AA batteries that run at 1.7V and...

    MM and NG with R123/RCR2

    I'm pretty sure NG's are not designed to protect against over-discharge. There may be a de facto protection since the converter will not light up below a certain voltage, but by that point you've probably already partially damaged the cells. The trick is to just pay attention and regularly...

    MM and NG with R123/RCR2

    Ray, Let me first say that the three emitters you listed above all have the same capability (for better or worse) to run safely off a Li-ion cell. That is, they are all J binned Vf. The tint (the X1, XO, and WO parts) don't affect the voltage characteristics. That being said, when attached to...

    Lux III & single 123 cell - Which converter?

    I'll third what Chop and Zulu have said. If your LED has a fairly low Vf then you might be able to get more than 750mA to the emitter, but 1000 might be too high. The nexgen would have been able to do better. Regarding measuring currents, it sounds like your multimeter is introducing too much...

    Lux III & single 123 cell - Which converter?

    [ QUOTE ] quantum said: Hi Srue, I got one of those cheapy 3watt luxeon flashlights on ebay. it runs on x3 'AAA'. direct drive, not even a resistor. I measured the current, it's about 120mA starting at 4.5volts and slowly drops. would the nexgen 750mA & single CR123 be much brighter than what...

    MagCharger Circuit: Can You ID the Components?

    Yep, what Wilkey said. And as the cells charge, the voltage will slowly rise until the cells top off. The beauty of this setup is that you can change battery configurations (such as going from 5-cell NiCad to 9-cell NiMH and vice versa) without having to change the charger.

    Lux III & single 123 cell - Which converter?

    If you want something that can both boost (raise the voltage of a single cell to the voltage of the LED) and buck (lower the voltage of multiple cells to the voltage of the LED), then you need a Wizard.
