    One good way to deal with button-less Li-ions

    Bimmerboy Great idea. I think this might be a good idea for making short "springs" for maglites too. Glad you bumped this one wquiles!

    Maglite 12-D Cell

    Just for giggles I went and did a quick measure on my 6D mag. A 12D would end up right around 34inches...... LOL

    dremel tool advice, and eagletac reply.

    Stick with a dremel, or a quality dental drill. I have bought my last two dremels from pawn shops, for about $20ish. Remember negotiate, don't pay the sticker in a pawn shop. Always test it before you leave the store. Do you have a harbor Freight tools near you? If so they usually have a...

    DIY How to build a p7 mag 2C for under $30.

    Thanks, My 5761 mag2c just STOMPS this thing in terms of color and output. However, the P7 will run longer,cooler, and more reliably. So they each have their own uses.

    May have bought the wrong bulb

    I dont think it will "blow" the led. It will shorten the lifespan of it for sure if you are over running it at 4v. It will be brighter at the higher voltage. All the way up to the point that it stops working. Heat is a bigger killer in LED's then voltage. I have been running a C bin P7 at...

    DIY How to build a p7 mag 2C for under $30.

    Your welcome. Glad someone can use it :) As far as lens, Ill probably put a uCL or boro from lighthound.com once I trim it down. Adds $10 or so with shipping to the build cost but 10% boost in output over the stock mag lens, so worth it. Good luck on your build If you run into any trouble...

    DIY How to build a p7 mag 2C for under $30.

    I totally agree, and once they are available, it would save alot of hassle. I forgot that they were coming out. Editing the main post now to reflect that. Assuming that they will actually be 50mm in height not 65 like the last C size. Thanks alot for the runtime heat issue! gives me a bit...

    DIY How to build a p7 mag 2C for under $30.

    It will not beat a real heat sink, but I think with a shim of maybe 1-2 thicknesses of aluminum foil and thermal adhesive it will be just fine, thats how tight it fits stock. I had this one running for 10 mins tonight on the dog walk, and it was a bit warm to the touch right in front of the...

    DIY How to build a p7 mag 2C for under $30.

    I am really impressed with this, it racks right up there with my mag 2C hotwire with a WA 1111 bulb (800-850ish lumen) Nice size hotspot real good flood perfectly center with no artifacts, or dark rings. Id say in the 700-750 lumen category. All photos The lights all had fresh batteries and...

    DIY How to build a p7 mag 2C for under $30. Mods I was not sure if this belongs in the homemade lights section or here. So feel free to move it if needed. The goal of this build was to make a 2 C Mag with a P7 for as cheap and easy as I could. I am no electronics expert, just a few builds...

    Help! Need a source for bare 14mm mcpcb LED bases & bare circular 15mm pcb's!

    I agree on both counts. Id love to see some stars in 14mm other then the Q5 and lower. The r2 on a 14mm would be kick rump. So easy to make p60 drop ins or AA lights with little to no fuss. Like you said they are out there, but unobtainable other then in very rare applications or unless you...

    Help! Need a source for bare 14mm mcpcb LED bases & bare circular 15mm pcb's!

    Not exactly what you are looking for, but KD sells the 16mm ones. Probably look better to trim down the round one instead of the star..... http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=1772

    What am I doing wrong (P60 dropin help)?

    Don't waste your money on 5937. I ordered two of them, the idiots put the brass part of the drop in inside the reflector for shipping. So now it is useless as a smooth because the reflector is scratched to heck. Get the 3257 Its a light to medium orange peal on the 2 I received. Also it has...

    What am I doing wrong (P60 dropin help)?

    Woo Hoo let there be light. Lighthouse One was correct, the 2 solders must be done for it to run at 1400ma. Thank you again, I would have never figured that out. On top of it shorting against the reflector if screwed down too much.... But all is well now and I have a powerful red light...

    What am I doing wrong (P60 dropin help)?

    AHH HA! I bet that is it. I will try after dinner tonight and report back. Thanks for finding that I would have never even thought to look at it. Ran to harborfreight to grab a chepo multimeter since I loaned out my fluke. So at least now I can do some trouble shooting. If that is not it. As...

    What am I doing wrong (P60 dropin help)?

    Building my first P60 drop in using a luxIII red LED. (1540mah 2.85 forward volts) Everything is wired correctly, and the emitter is mounted on a scrap of aluminum with thermal adhesive. When I hit the switch it lights up at about 10 lumen :sigh:. I took it all apart and just checked the led...
