Re: Super MagLite Collecting

To be honest, I don't find Pictures of Mags to be very interesting, so I'll just post a picture of one out of my 20 Mags since this is my favourite at the moment and the only one that does not look stock at all:

It is a chrome 2-1/2D Mag with a FM-3V LOP head running a WA1111 on 3x2 Pila168S/AW17670. Output ca. 500 torch lumens, runtime ca. 70 minutes. The throw on this thing is amazing.

Here is a much nicer picture from my trip last weekend:

(The cliff you see is 500 feet tall on it's lowest point)

I wish I could have had one of my modded Mags when we got cought in the dark up there. But having the McGizmo HD45 instead helped a lot.

Nikola Tesla, your pictures are beautiful!

The little 10W HID 1D looks interesting, do you have any more info on that one?

Re: Super MagLite Collecting

It changes but today the blue/red 2D with WA1111 bulb and #7 maximum stippled reflector. It just womps my 10X and M4 SureFires and has a beam just as clean. If you look at the lit up pic its 3rd from right. The Red/Purple on is the Mag 85 with #6 reflector. A bit more power but not as small. You can see how wide and full the beam in the smoke is.

out of all those, whats your favorite mod?

Re: Super MagLite Collecting

Do a search on "UFOKILLERZ" (He built them) There were several Group sales on this light, some may still be availible. Its the brightest at a distance (Most throw) of the whole bunch. Kinda like having a MaxaBeam that fits in your pocket. A very sweet well made mod that runs on 4 123 cells. 1D size is cute.

Re: Super MagLite Collecting

Some more new variations.

BAM! 4 with Ubin emitters and 20MM McLux reflectors in FM 1.5D. A beauty at 480 Lumens, over 10,000 Lux on high. Have never seen a brighter LED flashlight.

A very small 1D FiveMega special with 4 14500 Li-Ions and WA1166. Real bright, pocket size

A real nice Chrome Five Mega 2.5 D with WA bulb and Li-Ion power.

Just how hard is it to make one of these anyway, and how much does it usually cost???

I ask because Lowes is selling Maglites (2D,3D,4D) tomorrow for $9.99, and I was wondering if I should pick one up so I can mod it someday.
I have no modding skills what so ever, but I will buy a Soldering iron and learn how to use one, so that I can mod one.

Any advice is appreciated.

It is just a single Lux III emitter light. The emitter looks so lonely in that cavern of a reflector. When the light is turned on the light has a piercing, light saber, beam that easily cuts through a tri-Lux beam at twice the brightness. Running on 2, 4 or 6 AA batteries and a two stacked converters is the relatively antique but classic Lambda ProMagnum light. I still use it to slice light beams across malls. It has a spill beam but its specialty is a crazy, straight, spot beam. Mechanically it does not have all the high-tech whiz-bangs. It is relatively simple, bright white, cheap to run, no maintenance and durable. It is a simple and reliable straight shooter.

About 2.5 years now. Also the 100 watt now has regulation installed and working perfectly. Next is the 2D to get that 35Watt up to full potential with the AWR regulator on board. Between the Mag100R , the BAM!s, and the Tesla-6, its really difficult to find a dark spot around anymore.

I turn on a stock 2D or stock AA miniMag and wonder how anyone like these.
Next in mind for the collection: A 20 watt AA miniMag solution- waiting for light bulb, I have the rest ready to go. Brighter IS Better!
