I have a couple of incan 4C Maglite's that I would like to build into reasonably good lights for every day use. My wife is a security guard who often works at night, so she needs a good light.
-- B3Flex driver
-- MT-G2 on a Noctigon
-- heat sinking of some kind...?
-- http://www.ledil.com/node/2/p/5694
-- KingKong unprotected 26650 cells...?
-- Borofloat lens
-- Switch mod or different switch...?
A rock solid charger that can do 3x26650 cells at a time, and is safe if I should forget and leave the cells charging overnight...?
I would like to land approximately in the realm of 1000 OTF lumen's, extended run time. I figure anything over about 700 Lumen's would probably be ok. Looking for advice, and thoughts on how to proceed. I am new to building lights, but reasonably good with my hands. I do have a multimeter, and know how to use it. The above parts list is just my initial research, I am very much open to ideas here.
Thanks much!
Gary
