So i was really bored, so i ripped apart a thor 15mcp and mounted it on the top of my mag74 6D maglight mod. I had to cut the threads in half to get the bulb to focus properly! so whats the point you might ask? whell believe it or not this 6d monstrosity is MUCH eiser to use and carry than the THOR host and the fact that the bulb has a smaller filiment means that this things focus is REALLLLY tight, its like a freaking laser beam! anyway, its great fun and i think everyone can see why i called it the magPLUNGER74! lol

That is one tight spot! Now all it needs is a keychain attachment and you have the perfect EDC!

I'm speechless! Flakey, you have flashaholism so bad there's simply no cure, ever lol.

Very creative Flakey, and quite cool too. Have you tried to measure the lux on it yet ? :faint:

When I read your thread's title, I thought nothing I would experience today would make me laugh harder. Then I saw the photo!

This will create a new EDC category. Now all you have to do is find the perfect holster. :crackup:

I was just wondering how you'd managed to mod a toilet plunger into a light, but this is fantastic!!

If you want even more throw, try a HID bulb, or one of them Pelican bulbs - fits great with any 6-cell NiMH light.

There was talk about "overly huge reflectors" earlier, and someone said they had a 18 INCH reflector... We're closing in on that number.

believe it or not, most people TOTALLY ignore it. ill say "How are you doing tonight" they will respond "oh, good thank you" and we will pass. i imagine that this is how people with disabilities feel, because i KNOW that they are thinking "what the hell is that thing" but they say "good evening" i just laugh.

Maybe they don't want to ask why there is light coming out of the plunger you are carrying around.

That thing is amazing :lolsign:

Hmm, I wonder if you point it right in their face, would they still just say "good evening" ? :naughty:

That looks like it could become the next cordless George Foreman grill. You better send for the patent before someone else does.

Dictionaries sometimes list examples of the word one's looking up in a sentence or illustration. They should start using pictures of this thing to illustrate the word "outrageous".

Now that's what I call funny! Great work Flakey! Looks like you have a nice big thrower there. Have you thought about putting a 1185 bulb in there?
