Maglite information

What's a good Mag mod, which is easy to do? I am looking for a bright 4D type Mag that I can keep in my bag.
I like the Mag charger (size / weight) http://www.opticsplanet.net/mag-charger-system-rx1019.html But I don't want to worry about if it has a charge or not and I want it a lot brighter. It seems like the smaller lights I have on my belt or pocked blow away anything I now carry in my hand (Mag size)

So I think I am looking for a standard 4D Mag then some kind of drop in that will blow away a Mag Charger/ Ultra Stinger/ WE Raider/ SF G2,G3 etc… You get the idea. If it's out there?

I can't tell you any specifics as I don't have that knowledge, but a single or multiple emitter mod would probably meet your needs. here's a few thread of what I'm talking about.

Have you looked at the Most Powerful Maglite mod list, more specifically, this post. Runtime is very short on most of those lights. The easiest is probably a ROP mod. Or you could go Multi LED Mag mod.

Top of this page has a search function....give it a try. Or try a Malkoff drop-in.

How about just buying one already made? Like say, from Light-Edge? The Mag.85 is a popular mod here on CPF, though it's in a 3D.

Hope you find what you're looking for and Enjoy!

Malkoff is sold out.

There has been a recent rash of threads asking how to upgrade 4D Maglites Malkoff Devices (always sold out) or the TerraLux 6EX from batteryjuntion.com is the standard answer. The only answer there is apart from a $100+ DIY project... it is very hard to beat the Mag85 varient, incandescent, powered by 9AA NiMh cells though...

The aspheric mag puts out a great beam if the emitter is in front of the lens' focal point.

For less self discharge try using AW's C cells in a 2 or 3 cell setup. Maybe you could even do a 4 cell setup.

If you have money to burn try using Lithium primary D cells. The longest shelf life that I'm aware of. The only ones I've seen were made by Saft.

A 4D mag is just barely long enough to hold a stick of 6 sub C cells. Do the spring and tail cap mod and you could have a nice ROP. That's my next project.
