It's official. I'm a Millennium Series addict.

thanks for the tip! I'll try out two 17670s and an MN11 in my M4. How's runtime?

Well, it pulls 2.5 amps. I'm guessing you'd want to stop when the batteries were at half capacity (800mah), so I'd assume about a 20 minute runtime. You could do slightly better with a pair of 16650 (2000mah as opposed to the AW17670 1600mah).

gotcha, thank you buddy! Is it worth doing since I already have an M4? I have an MN61 bulb in right now

I think, if I were you, I'd get a MN15 bulb to run w/ 2x17670. That would give you a light that would probably run for 40-50 minutes (or more) and you could also retain the turbo head. If you went with a MN10/MN11, you'd have to swap the TH for a Z46 (M3 head).

Unfortunately there aren't any rechargeable solutions (that I'm aware of) to run the MN60 or MN61 in the M4 host.

thank you sir. I'm pretty sure I have an MN15 on the shelf still so I can put that in there. Thanks for your help man, I really appreciate it! You've got some good ideas.

Yeah I figured nothing rechargeable for the MN60 and MN61 because I don't think I've heard of that yet either

Nice M2s. All these years and I've never had an M2. I need to bite the bullet and just get one before they get crazier in price.
 
My only "M" at the moment :


Got a M3 on its way and I'm about to take the plunge on a M6...

What's the better option to use rechargeables in a M6 ? CR123 are quite expensive and hard to find here...
 
Hey guys and gals. I've been in this game a while, but was totally set back when I opened a package today. I was expecting a Z46 type bezel, but this appears to be one of the more sought after old school M3 heads. I was going to use it as a knock around head for a weapon light, but don't want to ding up what is a pretty much mint sample if it's of value to a CPF collector.

Also, I'm completely clueless as to what type of bulbs the orange and pink bases represent. I want to say I've read here on CPF that the older color-based bulbs (not black) are potentially dangerous due to the propensity to explode.

Any thoughts or input?

I recently found that one of the shop in my area was clearing out the old incandescent Surefire series.
They were out of the C2s but the had 2 M2, of which 1 had a broken rubber grip ring.
So yeah, i took the plunge & got the okie looking one for about SGD $100.
 
So nice a head yes they are rare and please don't use it, if you are going to sell it let me know i'll take it, i need one for a crosshairs M3 i have. On the bulbs i have asked the same questions to some of the member and I have not gotten any answers either, i have some of the same color bulbs you have.

thanks

Would be nice. Which driver and LED.

Bill

Uh, oh... sorry... I missed this question...

Choice of LEDs is: XPG2, XPE2, Nichia 219B and drivers are the same I'm using for my TripLED, SingLED, Reflector builds - linear (pre-set or programmable) or boost (optimized for single primary cell but limited availability)...

Here's the pic of Nichia 219B at 1.4 Amps and custom driver with pre-set 2-mode, Low/High and off-time no memory...

 
Got time to take picture of my custom 3D printed carrier 3x 16650 or 17670 in series (could be wired parallel too), 12.6V and a custom led tower with a XPE2 on copper @3amp.

I gladly share the blueprint with the community, so fell free to download the part to make the carrier, as long as you don't use it in a commercial way.

Renders ready to print (you still need the springs, cables etc..):
