Help for a budget 64458 build

[xeonsaga88]

Hi , is there any alternative for FM's 16AA Quad bored 4D M*g 64458 (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=237793)?

I am looking towards building my own, would it be cheaper?

For this build i would need
1.A 4D Mag quad bored
2. 16 AA cells holder by FM
3.An osram 64458 bulb
4.AW's Mag D incan driver

Is there anything else that i am missing other than the metal reflector and the borofloat lens?

Thanks

It souldn't be hard to look up those things and price them out. Jesus Hernandez does boring as well as a few other members. I've bought a light from Jesus myself though, his work is very good. Just about all those things are available here on CPF main in custom b/s/t and the marketplace.

5x AW IMR 26500

Hmmm... this is food for thought, what voltage did you find you were getting at the bulb?


I guess the runtime using those 2.3A cells to supply a 7.5A+ current would equate to something in the vicinity of 15 minutes (less as it becomes more overdriven)? :thinking:

Yes, but it's not a budget light.
A 17th cell will make the 64458 run on the edge at the start and will reward you to no end with an ear to ear grin but you'd be running a fine line on hot off the charger cells. 18 cells on a user adjustable regulator like the Jimmy M PHD would take all the worry out of the equation. It's a great 90 watt bulb but to get the most from it you have to push it beyond 200 overdriven watts.

Did you have to modify the tailcap spring to get the IMRs to fit?

It's more like 9.5A and 12 minutes.
