Worlds first 12 D cell M*glite

[The Dane]

(P)arallel (A)ngle (R)eflector

Take the number and devide by 8 then you get the diameter in inches.

So a PAR 36 is 4½" or 114mm in diameter

They are both PAR-36 bulbs if I understood you correctly.

No.

The glass one (a 4515) is a PAR36, the metal one is an AR111 bulb.

As I posted above.

No.

Yea, that’s why I was asking what the par36 was, since you told use what the AR111 bulb was. Thanks for the answer. I’ve got bulbs like that, just not with an actual glass envelope bulb inside:thumbsup:.

Erm, yes - my bad. It's not a 4515, it's an H4515. I'm awake now.

wasn't it Parabolic Aluminized Reflector?

All you need is a shoulder strap like this.

All you need is a shoulder strap like this.

No way, I think a flag holster would work better for this light: http://www.westernband.com/Pages/ROTC.htm#Single_Harness_Leather :crackup:

No shoulder strap necessary, you just need to hold it the right way::crackup::crackup::crackup:

I am curious which carrying style The Dane is going to go with. The last does seem the most efficient for any situation one might come across.:thumbsup:

 

[The Dane]

Maybe so but i think my potbelly woud spoil the fancy dress, and make it more like a loin cloth:D

So finally "excess" funds has been funneled into this project and £85~$136 worth of NiMh D cells are under the way from UK to Denmark.

A FET has been installed to assist the original switch and a charging jack has been added.

Some resistance mods has been made.

The pics:

The switch has been cut down in the lathe to allow flattop cells. The original positive track to the switch is kept intact but a brass disc runs a 20AWG directly to the FET. A 24AWG runs to the charging jack.

The negative connection from the switch to the tube is used for the negative charging wire.

The charging jack in the tube

The switch assembly

Proper grounding of the AL111 bulb

Finished wiring

Some resistance fighting on the tail spring

A brass disc to aid in negative contact

The end cap spring fit has been deepened to allow for the front and rear brass discs

Beamshots will come as the cells arrive and are charged.

That's a pretty sick mod.

Closest thing I got is an Old Eveready Big Beam that takes a Par36 bulb.
I have a 25w and 55 flood for it.
For power, I duct taped a 6v 20ah SLA to the top I cut off a 6v rectangle battery.

Not sure if you'd consider that close, but either way, I have a high output mod that takes a Par36 bulb.


This Ar111 dealy ? It is a reflector assembly with a removable bulb, or is the bulb fixed ?

 

[fyrstormer]

...for those times when you want to play stickball in a cave.

...or those times when you need a flashlight that doubles as a cane.

...or those times when you might need to fend off a band of ninjas in the dark.

...etc. :cool:

The bulb is permanently (welded) fixed

 

[Kestrel]

Nice detail work on the tailcap. :thumbsup:

 

[The Dane]

Just added a sling :naughty:

A gun sling swivel is mounted on the tailcap and a 30mm~1 1/4" wide strap of 3,5mm~1/8" leather aids in towing this 2,9kg~6½lbs monster around the flatlands of Denmark :crazy:

 

[The Dane]

BTW: I have MK I of the heads laying around if anybody is interested!

It's the one on the left and is made for mounting on the D tube directly!

No charge other than shipping and a good build thread from the future owner!

PM me.

 

[HarryN]

Nice work - you are going to drag me into incan mods if I am not careful. :)

 

[The Dane]

Harry you kindly helped me into this $300+ project ;)
Only fair i drag you into incads on a high level start :D:D:D
