I don't currently have an actual Mag to use as a host for the LED module, but I do have a Black&Decker Mag-type light that uses a 3.6V Versapak battery.
In studying the light today it appears the retainer for the lamp is plastic or plastic-coated metal. Not sure if it could stand the heat that would be generated by the LED. I also couldn't remember how to change the lamp and couldn't get any of the joints or focus ring apart. I actually broke a cheap strap-wrench trying to separate the head from the body... ouch, literally.
Does anyone have one of these lights and has changed the lamp?
The one NiMh version (Gold) of the Versapak i have was 4.2V with no load straight off the charger. They drop pretty quickly down to 3.5V or less after some use. Do you think it would be unsafe for the 2-cell module or too dim for the 3-cell module?
This light uses a ring to focus, about the size of the front bezel on a Mag, and the head itself is stationary. Otherwise it's very similar to a Mag except much heavier aluminum thickness in the head and some of the body.
Thanks for any insight.
