Mag 4D ROP - will this work

[debeli]

I have Mag 4d with teralux led. This combination is OK, but few days ago I was in SAR operation, looking for some lost old lady, and i realize that I need more powerful light. I search few forums and did not find combination of ROP on 4d, so I will tray to make this one:
1. 4d maglite
2. 6x GP430 sub-c batteries
3. charger http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3005
4. Pelican 3854 bulb
5. Cammed MOP Aluminum reflector
6. Boro lens
and low resistance mod

Will this work? Any sugestion is welcome

Thanks :wave:

6 sub Cs in a 4D was Kevin's original recipe for the ROP, IIRC.

Yes it works and works better. I have both the 2d rop and the 4d rop and I would say the 4d with 6 sub-c's not only last a lot longer but is brighter, probably due to less resistance. I use 6 4500 mAh tenergy batteries for good run time.

How much run time you have in 4d, and how much with 2d?

Are you LEO? I am also LEO in Croatia

Thanks for reply, regards from Croatia

From 4500mAh or 5000mAh sub C cells in a Maglite 4D you should be able to run a ROP Low for about 2 hours. A ROP High would get around an hour (more than 45 minutes anyway).

On a 2D if you are running 2000mAh cells you will get less than half the run time compared to 4500mAh Sub C cells and the volts will drop faster under the same load.
