What is available out there?

Thanks
 
Pretty dry since the McE2S isn't being made any more.
More stuff I wish I'd never sold off:(
 
Lightsaver Miser from BrigadeHQ.com has three levels plus beacon.

It will only work on 6V setups though. It is for incans, and they say not to use it with LEDs, but it works with several setups(drivers) I have tried it with as long as the input voltage is 6V.

With less than 6V it just strobes. If all you want is an annoying tactical-ish strobe, then that works great on single cell setups.

Did you try it with 2x3.7 RCR123?

Thanks

So this will work on an E2E with a stock MN03 lamp? Any idea what the lumens and runtimes would be on the lower settings with two CR123a primaries?

Have you tried it with higher power lamps? What was the highest current draw you put through it?
 
If I recall, they are not rated for over 6V. And I have never tried it.
They operate via PWM which works great for incan of any type. I used it on a 3V MN01 (my only E-series incan) and it works fine.
On Incan it is 100%-50%-25% (again, set by PWM timing) then beacon.
It should work the same for most LED drivers, but no gaurantees/YMMV. Some drivers are more aggressive at setting the output than others and may not play well with PWM or any other type of reduced power input.
