MAGCHARGER MODDING

[tnrdnck]

A friend gave me a magcharger. I want a really bright mod that will give about 45 min of light. I would like to be able to still use the charger. Suggestions?

WA1160 bulb and a piece a mica for heat shielding. Also, check/wait for FiveMega's offerings under Group Buys.

Install the WA1160 bulb. Then replace the 2500mAh battery pack with a pack of 5 1/2D NiMH 4000mAh cells. You'll get a brighter light with way more than 45 minutes of run time. And you can still use the stock charging system.

Like what the others suggested above. But if you don't get a mica, you can still use the WA01160 (a.k.a. MC60), but just don't "seat" the bulb all the way down onto the bi-pin socket, or it'll melt!

You may wish to "frost" the bulb by using Armour Etch for a smoother uniform SureFire like beam.

Enjoy!

Would someone please provide some links. I am still new to all of this, and don't really know what some of these things are.

you can make that into a led flashlight by buying the terralux led module replacement for magchargers.

you can get your 4000mah 1/2D's from www.batterieswholesale.com just email Victor and he'll make the pack up for you and shrink wrap it to be a straight drop in

or...

you can buy the kit from including bulb & batteries from: no sorry they don't do it any more sorry to get your hopes up like that.

the bulb from here: http://www.light-edge.com/proddetail.asp?section=Super%20Bulbs&prod=WA01160BP

this is a very worthwhile mod

Litho123 is selling some frosted wa1160 bulbs in one of his threads. I already preordered. The frosted bulb is supposed to clear up the artifacts in the beam, so I heard.
