MagLite bi-pin apadters - can you still get them?

[Chicken Drumstick]

Been reading up some older threads and stumbled across the FiveMega bi-pin adapters for incan Mags: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?179891-G4-bi-pin-socket-by-Fivemega-(5th-Run)

Can anything like this still be bought? Aren't the latest incan Mags using a bi-pin these days? Is there a conversion to allow these to be used?

Thanks.

M*gCharger Ceramic Slug will fit and work perfectly in any incand M*g "C" and M*g "D" with PR base.
New M*gs with plastic bi pin socket will melt with high temperature hotwire bulbs.

Thanks, that looks ideal. Although maybe a little too pricey just for a play around. Do you know where I can buy the stock MagCharger slug from? I know it won't handle the heat, but all I want to do is try out a couple of things. If I like it then I'll happily upgrade to your ceramic one. But if I don't like any of it, then it makes it an expensive experiment.

Thank you.

Maglite does make adapters to fit the new bulb in a old PR base. I have one.

These high temp sockets are also another choice which will work with towerless switch.

Yes, those are made of plastic and can't handle temperature of high power super bulbs.
