Sold/Expired FS: Let's go military (MIL SPEC HA III MAG host) *** 4th Batch (COMPLETED)***

Re: FS: Let's go military (MIL SPEC HA III MAG host) *** 4th Batch (In Progress)***

I don't think any LED's will work with a 1.2V D cell.

You could use a Lion 26500 C cell with a sleeve. If the 1D uses a small spring inset into the tailcap, you should be able to use a 18650 cell as well and direct drive a few different LED's or use a 2-3D Malkoff drop-in or a direct drive Malkoff P7 drop-in.

There are a lot of solutions that will run a LED off of a single 1,2V Nimh-cell.... Just use a suitable driver...

I really like the 1D light, but I'm not looking for a science fair project. :crackup: I want to drop in a battery, drop in an led module, maybe a ucl, and be good to go. If someone can point me to a good "stock" solution, I'll be ordering some of these fine looking lights.

I would go for a Malkoff 2D-3D Mag dropin with a 3AA cell carrier plus
eneloops or normal alkaline cells, but I dont think the runtime would be very good. You really need a rechargeable li-ion cell to get the best performance
out of a Malkoff.
Using a single alkaline cell to power something like a Cree or SSC would involve custom work.

I should have said, not without a driver. I took it that he was looking for something simple like a Malkoff drop-in.

I currenlty have a 1D Mag that has a Malkoff 2-3D cell drop-in and it's running off one 18650 cell. The run time seems okay for what I use it for; checking around the house. I also have a radial bored 1D Mag that has a Malkoff 2-3D drop-in and it's running off a 4xAA (using Eneloops) 4.8V holder. It is brighter than the 18650 driven 1D and seems to last longer.

We are closing in on the final date... Hopefully we will have some nice hosts to base our lights on within a few days/weeks!! :party:

Hi Scattergun,

Btw, IMHO the HA III Black look awesome!

Hi Guys,


I have updated post #1 with photos on the finished work :thumbsup:.
Before sending them off to everyone of you, some minor machining work has to be done, also final inspection, assembly and then pack them up. So please be patient, just a few more days :naughty:
It will be on time as the suggested date.

Also, I have managed to reduce the length of all 1.5D orders to 1.25D, slightly shorter and still fit FM 3x17670 with ease.

Hoped its a good news for everyone.



With regards,
Jo @ Britelumens

Wohoo!! Great!
The host got shipped so fast from the time I confirmed I needed an extra reflector, so I got worried! But as usual when dealing with you...
-absolutely no need to worry!:twothumbs

I also want to thank you for making this project happen and the very professional way you have dealt with timetable, notification of shipments and other information on the hosts!!
ABSOLUTELY TOPCLASS!!:clap:
 
@all

sorry for the off-topic, but i am interesed what you will build with this great hosts?

i think i will build an asphercial mag with an neutral white mc-e overdriven at 1400mA per die. powered by one lion d-size cell.

thanks jo@britelumens for the shipping information,

markus
 
For the 2C Mag, I was thinking about a multi-emitter setup,
R2s or Q5s, maybe 3 or 4 of them, but I cant decided whether to use a
cheap DX board, Maxflex, or the Download 8 x 7135 trick :thinking:

For the 1C, member MWClint build a Mag that used a DBS reflector, hope
he doesnt mind me copying him 😀
 
:paypal:for #6MAG HA III 1.5D (Finned & Flute Mag head / Cut / rethread / Tri-Bored )

Hi Nova,


At this moment, I only have 2 x 1D and a 2D finned/fluted in HA III black.
It can go off the shelve anytime.


With regards,
Jo @ Britelumens

How many black ones did you get done and what configurations are they?

Cheers,
Nova
