Re: FS M@g80 Dual Power A123x3 9.9v 3332blumens, or 3xemoli 12.6v 3,900 lumens! $15
You are giving this light away. Maybe people do not realize that, raise the price it will sell because then people will notice that this is a top of the line light. High price says that or you can get real technical and read the specs, they say that too but most people just notice the price, raise it, you are giving it away.
I interchanged the Tungsram 56580 with the original Chinese 64430 Missionaryman used tonight in my 2D tri-bored host. The Tungsram 56580 is a RADIAL FILAMENT and without frosting it the beam was brilliant, a large clean hot spot. Standing in the middle of the road it lit up beyond both shoulders down about a tenth mile. Over 1400 torch lumens for sure, not sure what the actual top end is.Poor M@g85 was stomped by this horse! Jim, the Tungsram 56580 has tested to taking a higher overdriven voltage than the Osram 64430. It is not going to blow. No $75 driver needed, no residual resistance from a soft start NTC or resistor to rob lumens, it just is not necessary. I am going to get a supply of that Tungsram 56580 because they are so good for overdriving making HOT WIRES.
OK, for the bet from this bump. If you sell this light at this ridiculous low price by Wednesday, midnight, MST. I will send your buyer a $30 value, a gift.
I will send the buyer a PR to bipin socket. A brass cased ceramic socket to run a G4, 4mm, bipin bulb in a light with a regular PR socket; like this one:

No bulb just the socket.
OK buyer; get a socket and another reason to build a light around it.
Charging is not problem, look through www.rcgroups.com. Those folks are really advanced on battery knowledge. I got a BC-6 charger and got loose of 8 other chargers. It does all chemistries and is not restricted to low charge rates, it can charge in series or with taps and uses AC/DC.
YOU do not need taps with a BC-6, it beats the Hyperion and most other top end RC chargers and it is not the most expensive either, considering what it saved me over 8 other chargers it was a deal. Without a charger like this, you will accumulate various chargers as you accumulate your light collection. I have a whole new universe now for modding because of a charger. I have built lights with lithium batteries and charging jacks because I can use this charger to charge the cells in the light. Occaissionally I will balanced the cells but the A123 are not a problem, even if they got out of balance they are "safe lithium" and do not have the hazards of unprotected Li-ion.
