Okay, I've learned TONS in here since joining, but I'm in a time crunch and need some help. I need a Kick Arse light for my Dad for Christmas to light up his 5 acre parcel behind the house.
I have a ROP HI 2D mag with a luxluthor 7.2v pack and am reasonably impressed. I also have a "flamethrower" Osram 64623 setup running a 15.6v Lux pack. WOW :twothumbs! What I want is something in between that I can easliy assemble using a stock Maglite switch. I can get it bored I think in time for xmas and plan on using FM's reflector and G4 bi pin socket. I could order AW's switch if needed, but don't think it'd be here in time.
I also need it to be fairly simple in set up and use for my dad. At the most, I think he could or would be able to handle a smart charger, but I don't want to get any more complicated than that. I'd like to keep the size to 2D if possible so he can keep it on his table next to "the chair" where he "lives at" most of the time
.
I've researched the 1111, 1185, 5761 and 64275 ( all the bulbs that work in the G4 socket). I've looked at Lux's destructive bulb info as well. I'm still not sure what I should go with though.
Can someone advise on something brighter than my ROP, but with reasonable runtime 30+ minutes? ANY help would be greatly appreciated as I'm in a time crunch here and I REALLY want to impress my Dad with something I KNOW he doesn't have... really hard to do anymore :thinking:!
Thanks in advance!
