no, that is it.

if you want more info.
the body is from late 60's early 70's 6d searchlight, i bought 2 3c mags, cut off their heads, and used battery tubes, as, well battery tubes, glued into the body, have about 1 inch exposed in the back, easy acces to batterys, 2 tubes wired in series, cree drop in, is a good spot light with some ok reach, specs say 230lm.
10mm leds make great flood light, and have warmer tint.
reds i use when only little light required with no damage to night vision, those are still very bright.
uv i use, well frankly i put them in just for fun, but i see fishing lines on the ground, some other things normally not so visible at night.
laser is definitely for just the hell of it, i use it as a pointer sometimes, but mostly for fun.
i take it camping, but fishing i take it only when i fish from shore, i already dropped 1 light off the boat, and this one not waterproof, not floating, so it stays on shore.
my boat light is a rubberized dorcy 6v floating lantern, this one i,m in the process of modding, i,m planning to put in as many or even more different functions, i'll post it once i,m done.

Very cool Collection.:twothumbs

How do you like your deep reflector vs. regular withe the P7?

What battery holders are those? Are they the same ones from a seller here?

 

[Eric242]

The Flash-Caps are a nice addition to the MagLites. I have a blue one myself but since I don´t have Mag I use it as an emergency light in my car.

deep reflector does give me a bit more reach than stock mag reflector. thighter angle beam.

2 holders are from Five Mega, (the AA holders)
holder for 6x18650 i made myself, not really a show quality piece, like FM"s holders, but it works.

upgraded 2 of my mags.
4d that had 35w mr16 bulb, now has aw soft start switch, 2.5 fm throwmaster head, and a 35w bulb, still powered by 12 eneloops.

honestly i,m not impressed with output\beam, i blame no name bulb, i'll be trying different bulbs in the future maybe i'll find one that works better.

second upgrade is 4c mag that used to run flood warm tint mr16 with 3x 18650,
it still runs 18650's but now it has fm deep reflector, ss socket, and wa1185 bulb, i,m very impressed with output\beam, even more i,m impressed that it didn't right away, i measured v on the cells it is 3.9 no load, cells are not fresh off charger, i charged them about 6 month ago or so, and used them for a while before, so now i guess to minimize chance of i'll let cells sit after charging before using in that light.

just finished my second cam\fishing light mod, this one is waterproof (to a sertain extent) floating, and more or less shockproof.
the body is 6v dorcy lantern, one of the best housings out of all 6v lanterns.
it stil uses 6v battery.
stock bulb\reflector are gone, in their place are,
xp-g 5 mode drop in, dx stuff.
mr16 300lm(claimed, but still bright) warm flood, had to remove existing driver, and replace it with dimensional engineering boost converter.
9 5mm 375nm uv leds, removed the module from uv leak test light.
12 5mm red leds, for low light night vision retention.
3 5mm white leds, low light loooong run time.
50mv green laser, just for the hell of it, had to separate diode, from driver, cuz originally unit was too long to fit.
original switch operates cree drop in, to aid heat dissipation i put thick piece of copper around it. (around cree, not the switch).
there are 2 spdt center off switches on both sides of the handle, 1 controls warm flood and 3mm white leds, other controls uv\red clusters.
now for the laser there is no switch outside, it has so called secret switch, the light is a plastic shell covered by molder rubber, i had to remove rubber while working on the light, so i installed small psb push button momentarily in the side of the handle, so it is under molded rubber sleeve, one needs to press on rubber in certain place, and laser will go on as long as button pressed.
i'm still not 100% done, i still need to make switch guards, right now i,m drained lol, I'm waiting for inspiration on these guards, but as long at the light is not in the bag or rolling around in the trunk, it can wait.
no beam shots yet, but i'll post them as soon as i have the pics.

 

[TorchBoy]

Classic stuff! Got beamshots?

 

[smokeychris]

That are some awesome lights you have! I too cant wait for some beamshots!:twothumbs:twothumbs:twothumbs

 

[alpg88]

here are updated pics lights, some are new builds, and some are old unmolested lights.

 

[Walterk]

Great! You are into versatility . Nice clean builds.

 

[alpg88]

What is the host? Is it watertight or waterproof?

the host is early 70's late 60's 6d searchlight, neither waterproof, nor watetight,

 

[alpg88]

this would pbly be last one of these lanterns for now, need to think of something different.

lol, just noticed i missed L in FLOOD on the pic, lol
i have changed this light a bit, p7 removed, it was too hot, i swapped it with xr-e neutral. (500ma) with GLTD ring around it, also removed 6 cells,
