45w HID M@G

[strideredc]

I have been looking for a small ballast to make this possible but can't find anything?

Has anyone tried this? The bulb will fit; we have the battery capability so all I can see is finding a ballast to fit in the mag body. If wolf eyes and microfire are producing similar ballasts this must be possible…

Any ideas…????

lightforce sent me a PM saying he had some 45w balasts to fit a mag, i PM'ed him back to ask more and am waiting for his response...

if this is workable then its big news that should be shared, dont you think?

How about 56mm diameter (cylinder shape) and about the same length? Igniter/bulb socket and ballast 1 unit.

Hi everyone

I see that I cannot keep it in a secret any longer...

Let me test this ballasts before I'll offer it here. This product is quite new and I must check if its suitable for portable, battery powered devices.

Second issue is that I live in Europe, and organizing overseas groupbuy for US friends is quite difficult and takes a longer while...

Next thing is that I'm quite busy at work now and I rarely will have a time for CPF-ing till 12th of September.

I can tell you that this devices are quite expensive (280-300$) and very high (EU) quaility.

I am working on the T5 project - extended 4D Maglite with this magic ballast and Li-Ion battery.

Power: 25-45W to the Philips D2S lamp.
Runtime: 75-135 mins depending on lamp power
Output: 1900-4600 lamp lumens, light loss factor 0.75 with an UCL.
Price:

NO ballast before T5 premiere, only a few T5 Maglites will born.

Just give me some time please...

LOL, how did you expect it to remain a secret with that eyecatching ad for it in your sigline?!

It sounds VERY interesting - great specs and it looks terrific! I want one!

I should NOT say more, our production cylinder Ballast combo units will be available by the end of this year.

75mins at 4600 lumens?? 45w in a mag? This I would like to see (Hopefully its a small mag!)

Perhaps I can shelve my Polarion Helios dreams for a bit and go for something more affordable that still puts up a hell of a light...erm, fight!!

Ideally we need a 34mm round ballast but I think lightforces ballasts are 50mm (56mm would be too big I think) so would fit in where the reflector sits on a mag, you would need to make a sleeve to then fit the bulb and reflector, so the front would be longer. Powered by 4-5 d cell l-ion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds good to me
