For 2D the supplied Xenon is about as good as it gets and you may enjoy leaving it stock - I have one with LSD D Cells charged and ready to go. A super easy mod is a couple of 3AA to D adaptors, some Eneloop batteries and the Mag 6 cell Zenon bulb.
Been checking the adapters out last night, 3aa to D then is the one and a 6 cell zenon
....................awesome thanks.
Malkoff that sucker!!!
With a pair of D to aa adapters and some eneloop pro cells, a busta-glass bezel and an ultraclear lens... super lightweight with an impressive output.
Minimoogs suggestion gives you that incan beam with a whopping amount of light compared to the 2 cell beam yet won't melt the reflector. I may try that with an 80's one I recently acquired. (Thanks for the tip MM)
Maglites were the gateway drug to many-a- veteran flashaholic.
Do they carry the ML25 series? You'll be amazed at the output from that 177 lumen 2C LED. And again C adapters with eneloops makes it feel like you forgot to put batteries in it.
You know, gateway is pretty much spot on for me as i was around 16 ish with my 1st big maglite. Before then i had many torches, mainly the eveready and duracell types(black AA with flip top..............do you remember that one).
Thanks guys for the suggestion, yes malkoff is the answer overall. xp-g2 looks to be one of the LED's and xm-l2. I like the fact you get the whole part to fit in(looks super easy to).
The LED one is very throwy, quite an intense spot when focused although it is a very fussy/messy beam. Compared to the incan, pure white and less messy. The incand is 27lm iirc, again intense and not as nice focused. Outside its fine and 30yrs ago they worked, still the same dark today (well night).
Originally my thought in mind(weeks back before i knew about this deal) hosts where the idea, be them triples or malkoff. As much as i want a nice xhp50 triple, i do think i have many similar lights(love triples). So its not going to hurt to keep standard ....................i change my mind like the wind so who knows
Now where are those adapters
Does malkoff do a warm or neutral mag drop in?
