Mirage Man Customs

Shelby, wow, can't believe it! That light doesn't seem "you." 😀 I think that was one of mine at one point. Congrats! She's a beaut! :thumbsup:

I know. . . right? It hadn't been "me" up until I got the MM urge! Now, I LOVE it. I'm going to be sending it to the spa very soon and it will return looking much like the one bf1 posted a few posts back! And, I'm proud to say, this was one of your former hosts! It had gone to a new home and then just sat . . . so I snagged it and had it come to life with a beautiful CRI emitter! This thing shines! Now I've just got to find a holster . . .

Hey Glen, what are the colors of the trits? Those are some beautiful pics of a beautiful light!

I would love to have an aa with trits.

I'm still looking for someone to build me a light engine for my Fatty.
Neutral white.
2 modes: High *as bright as possible, Low ~10lumen
No memory, defaults to high

Darkzero, Milkyspit, PhotonFanatic, cmacclel. Try all those guys?

 

[jamesmtl514]

Only one and communication broke down very quickly, contacting the others now. Thanks for the heads up!

Odd request.
can someone take pictures of the pill? The light engine.
I have a Fatty, but I haven't been able to get a light engine for it. This is proving to be extremely frustrating. If you guys can help me out it would be very appreciated.

I would have assumed a typical Aleph engine would work. Wrong?

Correct obi. These Mirage_Man fatties were originally designed to take Aleph L.E with Cree-XRE emitters to be used in conjunction with the Aleph-19-XR reflector.

As such, I believe that the can used for the L.E was an XR-can

Here is an example of a Cree-XRE L.E which I sold a long time ago. This would have worked in the MM Fatty in conjunction with the McR19XR

If I'd taken any photos of the underside, I would have added one here, but unfortunately I didn't

 

[jamesmtl514]

Thanks a lot guys.
unfortunately I don't know what an Aleph is or who made it.
Is it customizable? Could I change the emitter to an XM-L?

Also, I understand Mac made some pills for MM, will his xml edc.fit?

Thanks in advance!

James, I would prefer not to have technical discussions clogging up my thread. The thread was really designed to display Mirage Man customs, not create a public forum on light engines. Please start another thread in that regard if you so choose. Thank you for your understanding.

 

[jamesmtl514]

Absolutely Troy. My apologies.
If someone can reply to my questions via pm that would be great.
In the spirit of this thread, here are some goofy legos with my e1e

 

[smarkum]

My MM is at the spa . . . fresh pics when it returns. . .

Here's one I took in the last photo shoot.

 

[arewethereyetdad]

James, now we're talkin'! :thumbsup:

Shelby, that Fatty's gettin' more press than Kim Kardashian!

 

[davyro]

I can honestly say these MM lights are by far & away the best lights I've ever seen.I absolutely love them & i hope one day Brian will make me a 1x123a fatty just like the one SILVA loves:thumbsup:
so here's hoping for the day i'm the owner of one of these master pieces.

 

[grayhighh]

I miss my fatty !

Recently, I think im going to shoot Brian a pm. 🙂
