Full details and lots of photos of the assembly of these two Mag 2C's are in this thread over in the Homemade and Modified lights section.
EDIT: (1.5 - 3.0 volts. These run on C size Alkalines, NiMh or NiCd cells. Eneloop AA's in adaptors work well too.)
Arctic Silver Thermal Adhesive holds SSC P4 to heatsink. Arctic Silver Thermal paste 5 (The best stuff) used around the heatsink.
Two 500ma MicroPuck's in series as drivers - Epoxy encapsulated, water resistant, made in USA, no heatsinking required.
Rubber grip tubes installed - read all about that over in this thread.
I've left the rubber tubes on since they are easy to peel off, but very difficult to get back on. Maybe someone will want to keep the rubber grip on :shrug:
(Old Bulb Post Towers will be included too, as pictured)
Short EV exposure to expose LED and inside of reflector without too much glare
