I bought my dad a nuwai 5w 4c flashlight for xmas so I'm thinking he'll retire the beat up 4d maglite with depleted batteries...
So I'll have a 4D maglite for a base of modding...
What I want is 1 hour runtime with any battery configuration that'll fit... and as close to surefire m6 performance, if that is even possible... I just want it bright and to have a good throw... I have a few smaller flashlights for longer use with lower output and I just want a "show" light, probably won't use it much...
I was thinking of an aluminum reflector, a new xenon bulb and some sort of D->AA holder or PVC for C battery tube?
I'm trying to keep cost under 100 if possible... I can do most of the cutting and soldering but I'm not sure I can do any circuit regulation or along those lines...
Any help would be great! Links even better!!!
