DeWalt LED conversions, Fusion48 or others

[guiri]

Guys, what's out there for putting into DeWalts 18v lights?

I just found out about the Fusion48. Can anyone tell me a bit about it such as quality, runtime, etc and are there other alternatives?

I didn't find the fusion on ebay though so where would I find it?

I did have around 8 ebay bucks I wanted to spend so the bay would be good for me.

Thanks and as always, links are appreciated.

I don't own one so can't comment on performance but the seller on ebay is 'sinounionechnologyld'.

I have 3 or 4 and I'm very impressed with the Fusion48 upgrade!!

please keep us updated about what you find.

a search i did a while back for an 18V DeWalt LED replacement proved fruitless....

i just emailed the maker of the Fusion48 for prices/availability. will post results...

Milwaukee makes an 18v replacement led bulb works 9.6 to 28v hope you can use it

The fusion48 is a great affordable upgrade, it's a very floody light. Very cool white in tint, and I'd say somewhere between 600-800 lumens (a guess) as for runtimes I'd say a little better than the incandescent bulb.
The Milwaukee dropin is dimmer than the incan bulb the last I checked.
I also own the fusion36 for my maglite and love it for dogwalks at night and that's about 400 lumens in a 2D maglite

I suppose I should start my own Makita thread but I was wondering the same thing for the Makita light. Since the Makita head is about 3" diamter getting 80,000 lux out of a XML driven at 3 amps wouldn't be too hard would it?

i believe i read in one of the threads that the Fusion 48 killed a Makita electronics because it couldn't handle it. google time....

I agree, and would say my 6D Maglite is closer to 800 lumens :devil: I took a few pics of my Fusion48/36's

Thanks for the good and quick responses guys. Ricky, you are more than welcome to talk about the makita here but you MAY get more help if you posted something with a Makita subject, dunno.

I will look and keep you guys updated and look forward to more info.

Thanks again

George

That sounds about right for the 6D maglite (700-800 lumens)

Alright! Keep us posted and do some quick tests when you get it please. Usually takes about a week from China. I want to get one and have about 8 ebucks I wanna use but I have time till May to use'em I think so give us some feedback and I'll prolly get one too. One concern I have is the drop in fit as I'm too stupid to make adjustments.

Thanks

George

 

[coyote]

will do. but i've yet to get anything from china in less than 2-3 weeks (maybe 'cause i'm so remote in oregon where we still use pony express)

 

[CarpentryHero]

China to Canada is like 2-6 weeks :-(

 

[srfreddy]

DX, 6 weeks. Solarforce, 1 week. Manafont, 1.5. And thats why I try to never order from DX.

 

[guiri]

I usually get my ebay/china stuff in a week or so or at least USED to. My memory's so shot that it could be six months and I would still think it's a week

Meritline a few weeks and yes, DX a long time too. Anyway, whenever it gets there

 

[guiri]

Well, I ordered one too 'cause my ebay bucks expired in a week and it would be a shame to loose the 9 bucks

 

[guiri]

Well, apparently mine shipped/ships today so let's see how long it'll take to the east coast.
