I've been a LED person, up until just a few days ago, when the parts for my Mag85 arrived. And boy is it bright My current furthest LED thrower (Tiablo MA6) is still slightly brighter in the middle, but, just as a guess, the hotspot is 1/10 the size. And the spill is far dimmer too.
But I'm wondering, is there more? I have a 3D and a 5D maglight that I could mod. Is there a fairly inexpensive mod that would be far brighter than the mag85, like 2000 lumens or more? Preferably the 5D would be modded.
Also, wondering if a mod could fit this purpose. My sister recently asked if there is a flashlight she could use to light up the ring when she is riding. I told her no, because the lumens are a bit low, but mostly because of runtime. But now I'm wondering, is there a maglite mod that will get me ~2000 lumens for a full hour? Remember, I can use a 5D if necessary. Also, I would prefer a normal beam pattern, and then to use a diffuser, because a constantly diffused flashlight that bright would just be a waste
Thanks.
