Mag 2C Mods

[Freyth]

Hi,

I'm looking for various kinds of Mag2C mods, anyone know of any good ones?

 

[andyr354]

Goto the incandecent forum and look for the ROP (Roar of the pelican) FAQ. It has been hanging out on the first page lately.

I almost have all the parts for mine, just waiting on the battery holder that should be here early next week!

I love my "Mag C with Muscle"---not a super high power mod, but very cheap, very easy, and "light saber" output: http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=139486

There is only the Mag2D ROP but no 2C. However, if anyone knows how to make a 2C ROP, it would much appreciated!

2 C rop can be done with either 2 18650s or 2 AW C Li-ion batts. both require some work, but do quite well.

 

[Freyth]

For both the 18650 and C li-ion cells, exactly what kind of work are they??

Can a Mag2C be modded to use the WA1111?

Can a Mag2C be modded to use the WA1111?

Yes
You will need a Kiu high temp socket.
Plastic conduit spacer for 2 X 18650 Batteries.
2 X 18650 Batteries.
Aluminium reflector.
Some sort of glass lens.
Modified end cap.
Norm

There are threads describing the whole process.

Oh, another really simple 2C mod I really like.

Get a magnum-star 6 cell bulb, a lenght of 3/4 automotive heater hose, and 3xCR123s. Slap it together and it is really quite bright. Cheap mod to, I have a couple.

Write-up with pics on another site:

I put a pair of AW "C" cells in, with an extender because they're a bit long.
Then either put on a Terralux TLE-6EX or a bulb from a 5D.

 

[mrartillery]

what about the AW C cells with a WA1111?

 

[AlexGT]

I have a 2.25 Mag C running a 1111 with 2 C li ions on a FM 2 inch deep reflector, this setup kicks butt!

What kind of work do I have to do to make this set up??

 

[mrartillery]

what kind of charger are you using with the li-ion C cells?

Probably the triton.

A 2C Tri-LED with 2x18650 or 2xAW C cells makes a very nice mod, not a thrower like a ROP or WA01111 Incan but it has it place. It makes a very nice "bump-in-the-night" house light that will light up a room or flood a good size lawn out to 75 yards or a little better.

Here is a link to Modamag's most wonderful mod tutorial, if I need any more than a Tri-LED I use a Spot Light

I've read some posts by other users and saw they had problems with the spring when using 2 x 18650 cells. Is there anyway to solve this? Or can I use AW's C Li-Ion cell to power the WA1111 or the ROP?

You can use the c-cells with the ROP or WA1111 no problem. As far as 18650's go, I have 2 of them in a 2C running the ROP low(I have a 2D with the ROP high). I wrapped paper around the outside of the batteries so they don't rattle, and modified the tailspring to fit the cells. I cut the spring down to about 2 coils, and ground off the anodizing on the inside of the cap...and the spring sets down INTO the tail cap now. Also, protected cells are too long for my set-up.....but it was free so I am not complaining
