Just ordered some potted 808's from Carley, and my great rep Wil asked if the following lamp might be of interest for mods:
PR Based T-2 1/2 halogen, 11.5 volts, 2.4 amps, 27.6 watts, 54.0 average candle power (with a low cp of 45.9 and a high cp of 62.1), kelvin color is 2985×, 100 life hours.
I told him that if it could be run at around 10v (or maybe a little less) it might make an appealing lamp for a 3D Mag mod using three of those 3AA battery holders to place 9 NiMH AAs in series. Of course, the reflector and lens would have to be upgraded, and I don't know what the current handling capability of the Mag switch is, but that would be one heck of a bright mod (for a short while at least).
Anyone have any other inputs?
John
