Recommend me a flashlight???

[GSMGuy]

Although I currently keep my Mag Charger in the door pocket of the car, I am looking to replace it with something giving a bit more light....

Not really wanting to go to the expense of a HID type lamp, as although I have seen ones for around the £100 mark from HK/China, I presume they are of low quality??

I do have a couple of requirements - Size wise, no longer than a Mag Charger, and the head needs to be approx 70mm as a max, othewise it won't physically fit into the door pocket...

Rechargeable would be nice, esp if it could be left connected to the 12v in the car :)

I await your suggestions....

You could just take your Magcharger and add in a bi-pin holder and new bulb (I forget which one is common for this). You could double the output, although runtime would be halved.

Cost would be less than $75.

Charger already has a bi-pin holder??

Yes it sure does, however it's not gonna' handle the high heat involved with running high output bi pin bulbs (more than 10w+) whilst one of FiveMega's ceramic Magcharger Slugs certainly will :thumbsup:

From this thread:

Magcharger:

Drop-in a Welch Allyn 1160.
Higher and whiter output. No special parts needed beside the bulb.
------------------
Drop-in a Philips 5761.
Higher and whiter output. No special parts needed beside the bulb.

Get the Stanley and upgrade the Magcharger and you will have TWO new lights!!

If you are considering a spotlight now, the Cyclops Thor X Sirius would probably be just right for you. It is only about 1/2 the size of the Stanley HID so it would be much more convenient to store in your vehicle. Output wise it is around 400-500 lumens. It is quite a powerful light and has amazing throw, plus a very long runtime.

I concur. The Stanley is quite bulky. When you have to chase the next-door kids off your front lawn you'll be glad you have both :D

Look at the new Streamlight LED HP which is fairly compact in size, puts out a spotty 200 lumens out the front, has 3 light levels, and is a proven company and design.

get terralux tle 300r retrofit for your magcharger, about 500lm, and might even have longer runtime.

Check out the Inova T4 it is a cradle charger and you can also buy the car plug in for the charger at the bottom of the page for an extra $12.
