Re: Help Identifying this Maglite... 19 LEDs in the head...
For $35.00 I would save the money.
We don't know what brand LEDs are in the dropin, or how many lumens it puts out.
$35.00 is a lot of money to spend on what is likely an antiquated unknown.
But that is not the major reason.
As pointed out, "In the background there appears to be a Tnc or a McGizmo torch and a surefire 123 primary..."
Anyone owning those pieces is not into this hobby "just a little" but has the knowledge and resources to afford high end stuff.
This also means they more likely than not have the knowledge as to what is inside that Mag head, who made it, how many lumens it puts out, etc.
I hate to play cynic, but anyone with lights as high end as what appears in the background more likely than not knows more about the light than is being stated.
I believe this for two reasons:
1) When clustered 5mm LED Maglite dropins were popular, they cost a lot of money as an upgrade to stock Maglites.
They were sold with a lot of details on lumens, runtime, etc. If the seller purchased the dropin when they were very popular,
he or she would most likely have those details.
2) If the dropin were something cheap purchased directly from Asia, then the seller would know that, too.
To me, it is an antique, and most definitely not worth the money without further explanation.
The only modern clustered LED Maglite dropin I know of that is still available is the Fusion, and that one is loaded with specs.
A direct link won't be permitted.
Can you please paste the exact search query on e-Bay which leads to this item?
I tried locating it myself but failed.
