M@g 3300L

Re: Mag 3300L

Quite a nice upgrade compared to an original Mag, I think :poof:

Any more info on the converter : are levels regulated, what's the input voltage range for full regulation, what about the UI : how do you switch levels, is last level remembered... Also is the switch a reverse or forward switch ?
:popcorn:

Did I mention this thing is bright 🙂

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Thank you for blazing the trail yet again. I just stumbled across the thread and it predates mine but I was planning a similar build and you've just shown me in terms of output and 'head end' what things could potentially be. Mine is nowhere near as sophisticated as this masterpiece though (resistored drive - no fancy electronics).

The beamshot is fantastic.....
 
Re: Mag 3300L

Wicked sweet Mac, it's like the torch comes full circle (now with extended runtime!) I'd buy it, but will the stock switch handle that kind of amperage without modification?

Stock switch will be fine. We routinely run ROP 3854 bulbs in the stock switch and PR base and these high-power incans are 4.2 amps. Full-blast-drain-the-whole-pack 40 minute runs on Sub-C NiMH - no issues.

Ginseng, one of the original hotwire gurus, has taken these WAAAAAAAY beyond that into the region of 10 amps. I wouldn't go that high but 5A should be no issues at all.

I would be interested in a complete light with tailswitch and finned head.

Tino you can see in the picture I'm using the Lux-Rc modules also you can see the voltage range is listed at 4.8-9.6v you can go as low as 3v but will see slight output drop. As of right now there is no mode memory after 10 seconds of powering down it will revert back to starting on high. You switch levels like any of the tailswitch mode changing lights by interrupting the power via switch. My tailswitch is a reverse type. If you install the drop-in in a standard 2d mag with 2x 26650 cells it's a forward type.

Re: Mag 3300L

So it's perfect for a 2 li-ion cells (5-8.4V range) configuration.

thanks for the info !
 
Re: Mag 3300L

I have a 6'' long lime green host with a tail switch, is it possiable to use it with 2 26650 batteries.

Hey Mac,

I'm in for a complete light!

Let me know if there are any other options to choose among....

Thanks!

Best,

Re: Mag 3300L

i agree that 275 is a very reasonable price!!!!
under 4.5A it can give 3K lumen
while the SST-50 can only go 1200!!!
 
Re: Mag 3300L

Count me in. I love the SR-91 and RRT-3, but a brighter, floody 4500K beam would be even better.
Mac, how long would you recommend running it on high? Just short bursts, or can it be kept on High for a good long while?

Hi Mac,

Is it OK to use 2x D size li-ion instead of 26650 cells?

Thanks!

I do have a birthday coming up. Can't think of a better present! 😀 Already have plenty of socks and underwear after all.
