Sold/Expired $urefire E2 Mini Turbo Head

[bigchelis]

What's the size of the reflector, and is it removable?

+1

What is the size of the reflector. It looks about the size of a P60 drop-in.

What about a beamshoot of the reflector itself. Please.:wave:

What's the size of the reflector, and is it removable?

Reflector diameter is about 25mm with LOP texture and of course removeable.

FM 1794 won't focus in this either?

Will fit and focus perfectly if you have or can obtain one. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

FM,

I received mine today and noticed that there is some assembly required regarding the Carly lamp. The stems are very long and when installed hit the inside glass of the turbo head. Any suggestions as to exactly how long to cut these or is it just trial and error?

thanks,

All CL1499 bulbs come with uncut legs or pins. You need to cut and shorten the pins to length of about 4.5mm from buttom of bulb glass.
Make sure to trim end of bulb pins.

That is what I figured. I kept trimming a little at a time until I got a focused beam. The turbo head is very nice.

Thanks FM!!

Got to take it outside as soon as it got dark. All I can say is WOW!!!!! This is a true incandescent pocket rocket!!! You will not be disappointed.

Varooj, another question:

Is there an available 3.7V bulb that will focus in this, to use it with a single cell body (E1, FM 1x 16340/1x 18500, etc.)?

Thanks, Tony

I am not saying it's not existed but I never seen this size 3.7 volt bulb.

 

[maxspeeds]

Anyone try out a Lumens Factory EO-E1R or HO-E1R bulb (both 3.7V) with this new turbohead?

 

[gswitter]

Anyone try one of koala's Rebel tower yet?

I am not saying it's not existed but I never seen this size 3.7 volt bulb.

Like a Strion bulb, but longer (to focus in this).

 

[Jay T]

With the Koala tower it's a no go. The LED won't pass through the orange O-Ring and even If I forced it it's too short to extend into the reflector.

I also tried a Lumens factory assembly, way too short.

Over all with the correct 1499 bulb this is a very nice setup. On my E2 it dosn't feel as though this is an over sized turbohead it feels like this is how the light should be.

Mine arrived today, as well. I love them! Here's one on a 2x18650 Leef tube with an AW soft start switch. I'm running a 1794 on 2x IMR 18650s.

Awesome beam! :goodjob: FM!

 

[cernobila]

How about that, I am going to do exactly the same as above but all in gray colour and I will be using the AW 2.6A Li-Ions instead......

 

[RichS]

I'm running a 1794 on 2x IMR 18650s.

Nice setup donn! But are you sure the 1794 can handle 2xIMR 18650s? I asked FM about running the 1794 on 2xIMR18500, and he said that they would will most likely kill the 1794 or at least push it extremely hard. Since you have the soft start, that removes some of the risk though..

 

[Chrontius]

Is it possible to get one of these in either natural unanodized, or clear anodized?

I have this body I want to use it with...

Probably with a Carley FM1794, if Nite has any left. God, that'd be a glorious little pocket rocket. There's certainly enough heat-sink mass and surface area for a full battery run, should I dedicate my twisty tailcap to the task.

Edit: how long does the lamp need to be to focus? I'm digging through the Carley catalog and looking for other possibilities.

Edit: Now I'm wondering about the 1111. Any guesses, anyone?

I got mine today and started to play with the two bulbs that can be used in this turbo head, the 1499 and 1794. After experimentation I found that to be able to focus the beam the ideal length of the bulb should be about 14mm from the element to the tip of the pins. Much shorter or longer and you will not be able to fucus the beam. Hope that this helps.

....at least this is the situation in MY light.....
