***ALL SOLD***
These are drop-in lamp assemblies for the StreamLight SL-20X and 35X lights that are made from Carley 1940 reflectors and Welch Allyn 1160 lamps. Each kit consists of one reflector and one or two ring-potted lamps (including the one installed in the reflector).
These lamp assemblies use ring-potted Welch-Allyn lamps; they will not accept bare bi-pin lamps, or PR-base lamps. Below is a picture of a couple ring-potted lamps:
And here is a picture of one of the ring-potted lamps installed in the modified Carley 1940 reflector to make a complete lamp assembly:
This scheme allows for the replacement of a burnt out lamp in a Lamp Assembly (LA) without having to throw out the reflector along with the lamp. It also allows the end-user to choose the degree of focus by loosening the set screw and adjusting the position of the ring-potted lamp in the bore. However, note that each kit will come with a lamp pre-installed and focused in the reflector, ready to use. Note that the color of the dot on the back of the potting identifies the type of WA lamp. 1160's have a yellow dot, 1185's red; 1111's blue, and 1274's green.
If you want to know more about how I pot the lamps into the fixture-rings, please see my Fixture-ring lamp potting thread.
Each ring-potted 1160 lamp costs $10
and each 1940 reflector costs $15.
Thus, an order without a spare 1160 will come to $25, not including shipping, while an order with one 1160 installed, and one spare 1160 will come to $35, not including shipping.
A fit o-ring, allen wrench, and detailed instructions will automatically be included in every kit.
Standard shipping for orders will be via USPS priority mail with NO delivery confirmation or insurance, and will cost $6. However, I will probably be able to accommodate special shipping requests, including shipping outside of the USA. Please contact me for such special requests and we can work out a shipping cost.
****I only have 8 of these kits.****
Thus, each order is limited to ONE reflector and one or two lamps. I have 6 smooth reflectors and 2 medium orange peel (MOP). However, NotRegulated has already spoken for one of the MOP's. So there is only one MOP unspoken for. That said, rest assured that there isn't that much difference between the two beams. The smooth has a little more throw and a few more artifacts, and the MOP has a little less throw and a few less artificants. If you'd be happy with one, you'd be happy with the other. They're not all that different.
Only post here if you want to commit to order. Please post questions in either the Phaserburn thread link above, or in the SL-20X thread currently in the incan forum.
First come, first serve, based on posts to this thread and not any other thread or PM's or emails. I will be PM'ing those who have contacted me about this mod to tell them to post here.
I accept PayPal to *address removed*. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR CPF NAME SOMEWHERE IN THE PAYPAL PAYMENT
Or you can mail me a check or money order. Please PM or email me for my address if you'd like to send me a check or money order. Also, again, please don't forget to include your CPF name somewhere on the check or note sent with the check.
Please note that the 1160 will melt the stock lexan lens. I suggest www.flashlightlens.com 's 55 mm shock isolated lens as the best replacement.
Also, some stock battery packs will not be up to the task of delivering 4 amps of current. You may need to upgrade your battery pack if this is the case. However, all the stock packs that I've seen have been able to do an adequate job of driving this lamp. For a pack upgrade, I recommend www.batterieswholesale.com 's maglight replacement pack. It's the 5 cell 1/2D NiMH pack at the bottom of the page of 5 cell, 6.0 volt packs. Unfortunately, right now, online ordering from the website is still down.
Please rest assured that I will continue to support these mods out in the field. If you blow a lamp and don't have a spare, I will make one for you ASAP. I have a thread specifically for ordering spare ring-potted lamps, and will bump it to the top in the next week or so, but you can just send me a PM or email and need not go through an order thread if you just need a spare lamp. (I'm talking about the FUTURE here, however! And I'm talking about reasonable requests, not someone wanting to resell or speculate or something.)
For even more information on this mod, please see Phaserburn's hilariously titled Make Your SL-20X Un-Suck – KILLER Mod! thread. (Also in my sigline).
Thanks!
