New 6D

[BreZim]

Hey, I've been checking out some mods for the 6D maglite. I'm from Australia so some companies listed on the threads may not post to me and a lot of the threads are dated back to around 2006. So what is the best battery or battery pack that can be used on the 6D? What is the best reflector/lense? I was hoping for something called a "MOP"? Its suppose to have less artifacts in the beam or something. Basically I want you to build me a torch with the name of the parts so I can order them. If thats not to much trouble? :mecry:

Power/Life I would say Power! Something that will make someone think "...wtf!" It is a 6D after all so it has to have a beam to back up its size

If you want power (at the cost of throw), I would recommend this setup:

3x P7 kit (you can replace the driver with the HipCC driver.)

UCL lens (52.1mmx1.9mm)

HipCC driver (if you choose to not use Der Witchel's driver)

6x Ni-Mh's (buy at least 8, because Tenergy batteries come dented sometimes, so you're better off buying a few extras, and requesting replacements)

There's higher-quality ones out there, but I can't remember the brand (its like $10/battery)

And if you go that route, I highly recommend you get the Mag head finned/fluted, to allow for better heatsinking.
