8AA to 2D holder? What bulb/s?

[willrx]

I can't find any 6AA to 2D holders and I spotted some 8AA to 2D holders for sale. What bulb/s are needed for a hotwire? Thanks, learning.

FiveMega just opened a new group buy for the 6AA>2D holders.

Follow the directions that FiveMega wants and you'll have your holder in several days..

Also, if you are building a ROP, he has everything for it in that same group buy.

Have fun,

I am using a modamag 8AA to 2D holder with 7 Eneloop NiMH AA cells and 1 dummy AA cell in a ROP (Pelican 3854 HI bulb, mineral glass lens/window, cammed metal reflector, shimmer blue 2D Mag). The part of the holder with the 4 Eneloop AA cells is a tight fit but it does work. With 7 cells I need to make sure the batteries are 'rested' (have time to cool) after charging to avoid burning out the bulb.
