    NG750 in a MM.

    Sunspot, For sure you could run the NG750 in a Minimag, but I would recommend running it with Nimh mostly because Alkaline will sag and the light will fall out of regulation sooner. Another consideration, IMHO, is to consider using the NG500 instead of NG750(I owed and used both of...

    sandwich....question...

    Cqbdudes, The sammies are used for modding the non-led Minimags, and the aleph lights have the light engines for themselves.(as Greenled suggested :wave:) You could build a light engine from groundup for yourself(which you will have to purchase different parts for making a light engine, IIRC...

    Is Don building canoes now ? (NOW GONE)

    Just browsing around and see this funky ebay sale...though I think it is likely there could be a few flashaholics in China who might own the PD, but the fact that there are zero feedback/deal record for the seller and the low pricing of the items he/she sold just do not add up: current...

    "McR- xx" Reflectors

    McMaster, Thank you for the reply, it makes more sense now why the attempt to make the focus by shifting up the lux/5mm into the reflector failed miserably! I remembered you have mentioned once about using this in junction with a bright Nichia 3mm(and seen that great little keychain light on...

    "McR- xx" Reflectors

    Hi, Don. I had recently trying to mod the McR 8 to work with either a 5mm or a lux in a AAA host, and the first one failed misserably(failed to make it work with the cut SMJ, then failed again to make it work with the lux). :green: Regardless how I position my lux or 5mm, the beamshot seems to...

    1.5v input sammie

    Hi, legtu. Thanks for the reminder--got me finally motivated to dig out the old info, and pardon for my mistake, quoting from the following link: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=62914 ********************** From Wayne: One simple correction. Madmax is not a voltage...

    1.5v input sammie

    Hi, Marc. You have some good questions, and they are very valid :) 1) IIRC, Wayne(the mod master, maker of MM) has mentioned the MM (or MM lite) is input power regulated. Now, being a dummy in EE, I can't plot you any fancy graphs, but you probably know the equation that P =V*I. And you...

    BB1K?

    Chiphead, If I am not mistaken, you probably could try getting the BB blank and assign the resistor value to 1000ma. :)

    Converter board recommendations for a Lux III SW0M

    For step up and sucking battery dry, I'd recommend to consider using Madmax+(which is a little higher than you expected 500-600), but for the low beam you might have to work with resistored switch. And it should fired up with using 2AA alkaline/Nimh/1.5 li-ion. But the M bin will probably...

    Badboy Oxidation Problem in Minimags

    Finer tuning sammies Ogglebog, I think it is not at all uncommon for this to happen. And yes, I too do think that clean the lip is one way of keeping it healthy, but by no means a solution. I think depending on what they need it for and the environment that they work in(room filled with...

    What to use in keylux AA?

    Hi, AtomicCandle. FWIW, if you do like to use continue to use AA in your keylux, then madmax lite (350ma)or madmax+ (around 800ma) are the two boards that you probably could use for your mod. I am not too sure about the boards' dimensions(don't have it with me), but maybe you could post the...

    Sandwich question

    Haha, Tombrown. Quite right about the Lux V, it will get hot, but it is what I intended it to be--an all-out lux V wall of light, but within reason(at least I should be able to hold onto it for longer than 10-15 minutes :devil: ). In that case, it does work quite well. But for more practical...

    Sandwich question

    Hi, TomBrown. I actually did build a Lux V DB 750 sandwich for my Minimag, and almost ready to put it up on my dummy reference guide to Minimag mod. The idea will probably be the same for your Lux III mod. :) I have seen the hardest ever driven at 1500ma, but there will be a huge amount of...

    Q3 Upgrades?

    Ckcanon, I would suggest trying putting an IMS20 or even McR20 in the Q3, I have tried the IMS20 and it works like a charm with rechargable li-ion.

    Which converter Board for use with ECan and ESink

    Re: Which converter Board for use with ECan and ES Bernd, I don't have the experience of working with the heads that you have just mentioned. And based on McGizmo's description, it does sound like there is a fair amount of work and the return might not be all handsome. If you can't locate a...

    Which converter Board for use with ECan and ESink

    Re: Which converter Board for use with ECan and ES The DB should fit into Ecan easily. As for rechargable li-ion, I would STRONGLY recommend using protected li-ion rechargable, for safety reason. Runtime and brightness balance is always a personal thing--it is hard to time. But if you do...

    Which converter Board for use with ECan and ESink

    Re: Which converter Board for use with ECan and ES Panzergrennie, Hi, again. From your description, I guess you are planning to use it with primary lithium cells of 3V and as well as 2 rechargable li-ions too? If so, I would recomment the DB...and the current level will base on how much...
