Would you consider bringing back this design for your turbo heads (I'm interested in the one on the left)?

As well as perhaps some more E-series compatible parts; a mini-"turbohead" would be nice and could be lighter, sleeker, and better looking than fitting on an adapter and a C-series head.

fivemega said:
They already existed and available.

That E-series turbo head is sweet but something that would allow the use of primaries would be nice like a TL3 bulb. my favorite thing about 9 volt incandescent is the ability to use rechargeable and primary.

The TL3 Bulb, although brighter, doesn't seem to throw any better than a stock MN03 or Strion bulb with the factorty E-series head.

ETA: A three cell body with bezel up clip would be sweet too!

I dont usually quote and include the photo's, but these are the Sh!t!!!!! So they are worth the double pic.

I have asked, numerous times, and if they were reproduced I would buy one of each at least.

I have seen requests to the same also.

Surely you still have the blueprints for these FM.

I remember in the reply from FM that there were issues in reproduction, mainly higher cost than you thought you would recoup, so I would suggest a pre-pay.

If you could make the reflectors to screw into the heads for max heatsinking It would be even cooler!

Look at the fins on the FM 3H!!!!!!! :faint:

:paypal:

( good luck in your hunt flashfiend but you are no the only one :nana:)

I would buy a straight finned turbo head like this!

Body extension to allow use of four 26650 cells in the 5 x 4&5 IMR26500 M*g by FiveMega

You can run 4x 26650 cells in the 5x 26500 tube. Pull out the stock spring and replace it with a much shorter one.

My 26500s LOA is 1.969" My 26650s LOA is 2.618"
I'm running 3x26650s in a 4x26500 body with a Kiu modified m*g switch and the fit is fine but 3x26650s are only .022" shorter than 4x26500s.
4x26650s are going to be .627" longer than 5x26500s so it's going to be close. Some switches take up more battery space than others. " something to take into consideration"

Retrofit kit to convert Prince series to handle 18500, or 18650.

Some type of extension between the body and head would work.

I have a nice Pink, and Green Prince that would love to power up!

Also an extension to convert FM85 3c to 3 18650.

Kestrel · Jun 9, 2010

I don't know if this has been covered in this thread yet, but from this Minimag thread,

mvyrmnd said:
There's another thread here lamenting the lack of interest in MiniMags. A good mod like this might being a few back. Personally I'd love to annoy friends with 6D mags with a hotwire MiniMag :)

fivemega said:
I had a plan of making ROP low bulb conversion for Mini M*g but there is not enough interest.

But now that AW is promising us an IMR 14500 very soon:

LiteShow said:
Got a PM from AW saying that he will be releasing a 14500 IMR in a few weeks. It's rated for 8C (5A).

The mighty ROP-High (3853-H if not the 3854-H?) should now be theoretically possible in a 2xAA Minimag?

JetskiMark · Jun 9, 2010

I would buy a couple of ROP Minimag kits.

I would have to make a high and a low when the IMR 14500's come out.

^^Nova^^ · Jun 9, 2010

If someone brought the aurora light kit for minimags back that would be awesome. Imagine a MM running the 1794 from 2xIMR14500!!!!

Cheers,
Nova

Mikeg23 · Jun 9, 2010

I almost bought that kit when light hound had it in stock and I kicked my self all the time for not getting it... though now I wouldn't be as interested in it bck then I thought it was so cool!

What Incandescent flashlight(s) can be made but nobody make them.

How about the Mini-Megalennium? A Megalennium shrunk down to hold 3AA sized cells with a D36 sized head (or something else to get the correct proportions).

3xIMR 14500s + 1185 might interest some people, or one could use 3X Nimh or 3X LiIons with a LED head.

More 37mm extension tubes to enable the MagCharger to run Welch Allyn 1111 and 1274 bulbs now that the 1160 is extinct.

Fulgeo · Jun 24, 2010

Hey fivemega,

I have noticed that the FM1909 bulb is no longer available. Any chance of another run becoming available in the future?

Chrontius · Jun 24, 2010

How about another run of Strion sockets when the Onion Ring comes out? :shakehead

merlocka said:
CPF should make an "open source" flashlight.

Design & spec 3 interfaces. The head/bezel, a swtich or adapter housing, and a body.

Then publish the design drawings so anyone can make the pieces. They would all be interchangeable.

We could have so many options then.

Quoted for truth. This would be awesome.

Also, what about a regulated battery holder for the Princeton Tec Torrent?

Where'd you see that? That would be awful, I didn't think to order a single spare even, not so soon.

You mean D26 1.5mm sockets he already makes or the E2E Strion sockets he also has available? Im confused.

I have been out of the loop here on CPF, I am busy over at CPFM!

Sorry if my questions are obvious.

Also what's the onion ring and can you provide a link to it please?

Thanks!

This is a great thread, and time for its 2nd birthday soon:party:

Alot of stuff has actually been made, I see.

I'm not up on this bit of news either, but I wonderlite who might be able to have more made? :whistle: :devil:

Nite said:

... what's the onion ring...?

If memory serves me correctly, the "Onion Ring" is, or was, a Surefire Aviator 2 project, by CPF member Koala, to replace/improve the ring of 5mm LED's around the incan bulb. I don't believe it ever came to fruition. Whether or not FM's Strion E-socket was meant to also fit the A2, I can't recall offhand.

So many flashlights, so little time... lol.

An Incan which is around 700 / 800 lumens, SF M6 size/style, 2 hour run time, can run on a variety of batts eg. primaries / rechargeable etc, beam which is half throw / half spill - possibly adjustable....

3x18650 Megalennium is closest possible flashlight body.
However, 700 / 800 lumens, SF M6 size/style, 2 hour run time is out of reality now.

Flash Harry said:
Anything long running in a FM body would be useful. How about something with two hours runtime? Three hours?

How about a 2.5"D" ROP M*g? (7.4V, 5200mAh)
-------------------------
flashfiend, Raoul_Duke & copperfox,
By monitoring slow activity and sells of this thread and lack of enough interest, there will not be any reproduction of old or new M*g turbo head.

Some PVC tube will work for 2x18500 cells in 2C body.

SR.GRINGO said:

Wouldn't 3x18650 be too long?
However, 3x26500 tube with tail cap is available now.

Megalennium shaped flashlight body involved with lot of machine work and cost is too high for a flashlight body (without head) which runs few minutes per charge.
However, I like the idea :thumbsup: and will definitly do it if there is enough interest for prepay.

Another run of FM1909 bulb is in process and available to purchase here.

I doubt if there are more than 3 people interested for such a product.
