Sold/Expired Mag85 Parts (1185 bulbs)

[ghadlock]

I'm looking to build a Mag85, and it seems that Light-edge no longer carries the Potted WA 1185 bulbs. Does anyone know of another source for the potted bulb, or if not, a good base for the bi-pin bulb? Seems like the other parts (reflector, lense, battery holder) are fairly easy to find. Thanks much!

Fivemega makes exactly what you need. It allows you to use the Bi-Pin bulbs in the standard PR socket. Good for a Mag85 until you can find a socket kit that you like.

You will eventually want to get, say a Kiu high temp socket kit or something of the like if you plan to use the light for long periods at a time. and definately a metal reflector, Fivemega makes the reflectors as well.
