OK, I checked the tracking # when it didn't come today - It wasn't shipped for 3 days, despite the claim. And now it is in Houston - will be here Monday 🙂

great to hear. As for the suspense for your purchase , I know how it feels. I always think "what the fudge?" Also the guy has run out of supply for this week and hopefully will be doing more. You're gonna love it as i dolovecpf

Thats great to hear as i thought this was your only one. I ordered the worklight module a while ago and was able to screw off the bottom and see what was in there but i do not know if its the case on the maglite ones. It will be interesting of you could bring it back to life...:shrug:
Hi again
i got the drop-in apart
had to cut the wiring on inspection found one of the wires at the head was loose very loose to the point it fell out in my hand
i don't think i will be able to fix it as the wiring and solder joints are tiny i had to use a aspheric lens as a magnifying glass to see where the wire was fixed
i do not have a soldering iron for such fine work
it maybe that the higher voltage i put through than recommended heat the wiring and loosen it but those wires are really tiny about 1MM that is with plastic insulation
i will probable harvest the LEDs
it is a great drop in for the money and i like that it also runs on lower voltage making it very versatile i ran it on 2D-size rechargeables 2.4v way up to 12.20v and it will run on a number of combination of batts and voltages in between i will run them at 3.6 and 7.2 v =3c-cell and 6AA-cell in 6AA to 2D in a 2D Mag i will buy more at the price it is a - (Mags best friend)

This is going to be one of those deals where it's always out of stock when I remember to check.
done another run time test this time i used 2 of KDs 6AA to 2D adapters with 6 energizer 2450s
3hrs 29 Min's to shutoff which makes this a very practical light for my needs
i like my terralux 300m but in a 2D size i can only get around 1hr run-time so although not quit as bright the fusion is a good alternative
i need around 2hrs run-time on one of my longer walks with my dogs
i will try the run-time test again today just to double check i didn't get the runtime wrong

Ok - something is screwed up - everytime I make a post, someone else's text is showing up.
I did NOT make the last 2 posts.
(I have since edited them and removed the text posted by someone else in my posts)

Ok, my LED came in today. It is bright. Can't wait to see it outside tonight.

Ok - I've had a chance to play with the light outside.
I guess I expected more - based off of what others stated. At first, I was a little disappointed. However, I went and got my P20C2 Mk II Eagletac, and did some comparisons between the two. I still prefer my eagletac - but the up close spill of this flood Fusion LED head is not bad. It's even better indoors.
Overall, Im happy with the product - especially for the money. I contemplated buying another when they are available again, and getting another maglight. But, I'm gonna leave it with just the 1. I'd still recommend it, however, as it is certainly much better than a standard Maglite.

Why is it that every time I hit the newest post button for the Munroe Design Mega Dangler I get directed here to a thread I never subscribed to?

The software is messed up. I made a post yesterday, and when it came up - it was words from someone else. It happened 2x yesterday. I let the admins know, but they never deleted my posts - so I just editted them myself (you can see them above). i think some stuff is still not working right.

CPF was closed for maintenance for a while yesterday, as there had been a few problems.
There have been a few reports like those here, about links not working properly, but they are relatively minor problems.

Hope these help.
I don't think an aweful lot of the module makes contact with the head. It's mostly just the pin and the rim around the leds that touches anything. There's quite a bit of play and it relies on it's own mass for heat sinking which seems to be adequate.
If I were designing my own module it would be a more snug fit.
Curious neoseikan, what are you planning on building?
Mac is making a whopper of an MC-E module that screws into the head itself. Tons of aluminium. Can't wait for one of those babies!! http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=252279

hijack,
neoseikan,
Elektrolumens made a number of drop ins MT-1, MT-3 (III), MT-4 (IV), MT-5 (V).
The piece that goes into the bulb holder is separate, making it easier to machine the heatsink part.
Here is ernsanada's review. He has pictures of the back of the module and the adapter further down.

The ground path is through the body of the drop in and the body of the flashlight. The user has to do some sanding to remove the anodizing on top of the flashlight body to provide the electrical path..
