Budget Showerhead Mag Drop-in.

Obviously their English is considerably better than my knowledge of Mandarin (to me it's an orange thing that we have at Christmas).
They are in Hong Kong. So the older folks there speak Cantonese. Mandarins are those sweet squishy orange look a like fruits.

Cantonese or Mandarin , all the written squiggles are exactly the same ... It's just the sounds that are different.

Mandarin (with a capital M) is the official form of the language of China.

Anyway , I am unable to speak any Chinese dialect whereas he can speak and write in English ... Good on him !

Just mail them by the email-adress on their website : http://www.sinounion.com.hk/

You can buy directly ftom them and pay by PayPal.
I've bought a dozen 24V DC Warm white bulbs from them in this way.
I had no trouble communicating with them at all using English.
 
i've never seen 2aa-1d adapters where aa were wired in series, [/QUOTE

During an ebay search for inexpensive multi- AA to D adapters, I ran across and purchased several 2AA to D holders in parallel configuration. They were less than a buck apiece and made of clear (Opaque) plastic like these. They would probably work well in a 4 or 5 D M@g with a fusion drop in.
 
I'm looking for something like this. Is there an alternate manufacturer or model to check out?
 
Re: Budget Showerhead drop-in for Mag. Fusion 36, now available in warm.

The seller has just Emailed me to say that there are three of these for sale on #bay at the moment ... I don't need any , so just passing it on ... I'm not advertising these dropins , so you would have to search for them.

Just got mine. I was a little disapointed at first indoors but had a chance to use it last night in the woods and Holy Cow. I usually like navigating the woods at night without any light at all but this thing is pretty amazing. A nice even flood of light everywhere without having a super bright hot spot that just makes eveything else look dark. It didn't seem to have much effect on my night vision also which is a welcome change. Definately a keeper. Is it any brighter using more than two cells?

The more we use them the more we like them ... My Wife just cannot believe that an old ex-Police 2C can produce this amount of light ... She doesn't know anything about the two 18500 Li-Ions in the 2C , she just uses the torch and loves it ... I use mine with six AA Eneloops , though it is great with two 18650 Li-Ions too ... It's just that I have plenty of Eneloop AA's.

So I just bought one of these.. It says works in a 2-6 cell maglite, meaning 3v-9v range. Wondering this:

1) Is it brighter at 9v than 3v, or just a longer runtime?

2) Where can I get adapters if I want to use eneloop AA's or 18650s in a maglite D tube?

Thanks

1) I suspect it's both:
Battery comparision - UCL lens
Battery comparision - LDF lens
3D -> 4C -> 2x18650
Perhaps someone else has measured some runtimes.

2) Usually from your home - at least I found some paper and aluminium foil

Just got mine in today via ebay.

This is neat! I'm waiting on some 2 AA to D apdapters to arrive. I've got a 3D mag and am planning on running 6 Eneloops in it.

I have a 2D with six Eneloops in and it is great.

Both of mine have started to work intermittently. It seems to be the contact between the Fusion 36 and the Maglite. If I tighten and loosen the head, and fiddle with them, they'll work for a short time. I cleaned the contacts with isopropyl, but it didn't help much. Any ideas?

It sounds like it's time to invest in a bottle of Deoxit. 🙂

Just received the showerhead in the mail today. Great upgrade! Very pleased with the performance in my 4D Maglite with half-dead akalines; it makes the old workhouse worth using again. I find the tremendous amount of flood useful for my own typical night time tasks.

I'm going to get another one for my 2D mag, but with that one I'm planning on using 6 serial AA NiMH.
 
Re: Budget Showerhead drop-in for Mag. Fusion 36, now available in warm.

I recently gifted mine to my father. He was very impressed with how bright it was, especially that it will burn just as long if not longer than his old incan bulb that he had.

I'm down to just two mags now - 4D with Malkoff XP-G dropin and 3D with Mac's SST-50 dropin. Probably the two most reliable upgrades a mag can have.
 
Re: Budget Showerhead drop-in for Mag. Fusion 36, now available in warm.

I had this problem in an old 3D Mag (pre D serial #). It looked like the sides of the module made intermittent contact with the socket, so I folded up a strip of tin foil and wrapped it around the base of the module. So far, it seems to have fixed the problem, and its been 100% reliable.

Re: Budget Showerhead drop-in for Mag. Fusion 36, now available in warm.

These are listed on Ebay at the moment. Search "Fusion 36 led power module for c or d cell maglite" a smaller combination of that should work. For example "fusion 36" without the quotes or any combination should get you there. Ebay search function is pretty good. $25 and do not see any shipping prices listed. I really do not need any more lights, this thread almost cost me a $20 mag host and another $25 for the module....I will keep it in mind though LOL.
