wicked "the torch"

[tone1132]

I heard that there is an easy mod to make a flashlight like wicked lasers "the torch". Is there a tutorial or somethin? Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

I wouldn't say it's simple, but you can make something similar called a Mag623. Here's a thread on it. link.

Are you kidding me? Wicked Lasers is using "The Torch"? There is only one, and it is made by Mac's Customs!

They did get his permission to copy the design or use it.

Still, isn't it basically the forerunner of the Mag623? And, a Mag623 with a 13th cell is even brighter. :naughty:

Yes, Mac's Torch used the Osram 64623 12V 100w bulb, like the Mag623 except with a tail switch. On the permission issue, I'd have to wait for Mac's reply

Here's his response in another thread on the light.

Now, Back on topic.... Sorry OP

I guess we scared off the OP.

That's too bad

I really wanted to help:
Tri-Bore host by member Jesus Hernandez
Reflector by member Five Mega
Bi-Pin socket by Kui
Glass Lens by Flashlightlens dot com
Battery pack LuxLuthor
and many more choices, just to name a few...

Sorry, I didn't mean to run you off, were all really nice people here

If you want a more versatile multi-output level flashlight, substitute one of AW's multi power level D or C switches.

If you are just looking for a single power level paper burner, then go ahead and stick with KIU's excellent product.

Funny thing... I read in Popular Mechanics that the "Torch" they got from Wicked to test had major problems. Apparently the batteries started smoking and melted after a few minutes of being on. I'd imagine Mac never had that problem... :nana:

Mac probably didn't source the components to the cheapest bidder either.
