I like the Mag 2C platform in terms of dimensions etc, and have a Mag 2-cell LED upgrade bulb that generally produces the amount and quality of light I want. Next step is to try Kryloning the OEM reflector.
But the application for this flashlight is as a general purpose car light. I've tried using rechargables in the car but remembering to recharge etc is too much hassle. Alkalines are convenient and cheap but worriesome about peeing and not handling the heat/cold well.
I've read posts here about the 3x123 mod, but as I understand it the three 123s are in series which would produce 9 vdc? If they were in parallel I would think they would produce 3 vdc with a really long runtime, and drive the Mag 2-cell LED bulb properly. 9v LED bulbs are in short supply AFAIK, and I'm kinda trying to do this on the cheap as this is a flashlight I don't use much.
Is there a 3x123 holder that will connect them in parallel?
thanx
