I am looking to start modding mag lites... simply because of the fact that well, I just enjoy them. My dad always had one when I was growing up, and then naturally the first light I bought was a 6d incan Maglite.
but now after seeing all the possibilities, I would like to start taking them apart and making more use of dropins etc etc.
so where should I start? I see that malkoff makes a nice xml drop in, and also jayrob here makes an awesome xml with voltage monitor (I will have one of these eventually lol) i have also seen a 5 or 6x q5 and a 6x xr-e that can fit into a maghost from dx
but i also think some of the fun is doing the tinkering myself
I have limited basic knowledge of electronics, I know what watts, volts, ohms, amps are etc and I know the difference between series and parallel setups, and I can use a soldering iron with ease... thats about it...
I guess my question is where should I start? I have a nice new 2d mag host and my old trusty 6d host (both 'd' serial numbers) I would like to try something budget first just in case I break something:green: and then perhaps ramp up from there? I think It would also be fun to create a mag thrower (maybe aspheric, or xr-e with rebel reflector)
any tips?
thanks in advance
