This pre-order is now *CLOSED*. I am not taking any more orders at this time. If I have extras after the existing orders are finished I will then sell those here. If there is more interest in these after the pre-orders are finished I will then do another batch. Please post here or PM me to get on the waiting list. Thank you
This is a feeler/pre-order to see if there's any interest in Mini-Mag AA reflectors modded to use with MagAA sandwich mods. I know there are alot of you that have MagAAs with sandwiches and this is a chance to no longer be limited to optics only. This mod is nothing new around here, just doing this to give anyone a chance to have one without having to mod it themselves if they are not capable of.
If I get a handfull of requests for these then I will make more of these. I am making a small batch soon regardless (within two weeks). I'm not looking to bite more than I can chew but I will try to make enough hopefully.
I will sell them in pairs, one regular/smooth modded & one sputtered/orange peel modded for $5. Or you may order a pair of both OP or a pair of both regular/smooth.
Smooth will throw farther and has a brighter "hotspot". OP diffuses the beam, cleaning out artifacts but at the expense of a bit of throw and an intense hotspot.
Please limit two pairs per person, this gives a chance for others to be able to get them. If I get even more requests and I find the time to make more (which I probably will) then you can step in and buy however many pairs you want. Shipping will be free to CONUS/Canada for up to two pairs. International will cost extra.
There are some issues:
1) In most cases, these will only work with HDs. I say most cases because I do not have any LD sandwiches to try them on and they might work differently with colored luxeons. These also work with 5watters but I don't think there are very many MagAA 5W mods out there if at all anyways.
2) With these reflectors, twist ON/OFF will no longer be functional. You must use a tailcap switch such as a Kroll which most probably are anyways. There are ways to furthur modify the reflector so that twist ON/OFF will still function but I will not do so.
3) Some MagAAs aren't threaded as far down as others. You probably won't notice when looking at the threads but I have ran into heads that don't screw down as far as others. It's very little in difference but It will affect the focus. If this is the case with yours than you must file down a bit under the lens bezel on top of the threads. Very little is needed to be taken away. I haven't measured the exact amounts I have removed because it varies. Most MagAAs need material to be removed. Generally, with these reflectors you want the bottom of the reflector to sit at the same level as the top of the black plastic on the emitter. This point will generally achieve the tightest focus. There is a pic below that shows where the material was removed (note where the anodizing is missing).
Other than these three little issues these perform very well. They fit exactly how they came from the factory before your mod. Be sure to center the luxeon within the reflector to minimize artifacts on the non-OP reflectors. These are the same ones talked about here and a little bit here.
If you have interest in these please post here and if you want one or two pairs.
I am currently not taking any payments now so please no Paypals yet, which will be refunded if done so.
EDIT: I am now accepting payments
When posted, please send non-credit card payments to afromunk(at)yahoo(dot)com. Credit card payments may be sent to f_zero4(at)yahoo(dot)com. Please add 2.9% + $.30 to the total (total + additional shipping for those who are international = grand total) to cover the fees. You may also pay by check/money order if needed. That info will be given later upon request. Please PM me or e-mail me to the address listed in my profile for ant questions to might have regarding anything.
Again, so there is no confusion, these will be done about two weeks (estimated). I have at least 40pcs. on order but haven't got a confirmation of when they will ship which is why I have set a two weeks timeframe. I'm hoping to get them sooner. I will post updates here as I get them. These will be available to order until the subject title has noted *Closed*. Until then, please order away.
