Sold/Expired Introducing FM11 & FM85

Hi folks,
After entering Lithium ion C cells to market, demand of 2C and 3C will be greater than ever.
Why spend lot of time and effort to modify and upgrade a M*g with ceramic socket, aluminum cammed or camless reflector, Boro lens, knerelated bezel, switch resistance, extension tube or deep tail caps and ....
I have designed, made and tested these flashlights with 100% satisfaction.
Flashlight bodies are made of 5 major parts:
1-Switch housing which is mid section of flashlight and accomodates positive clickie switch, gold plated bi-pin ceramic socket and charging device.
2- Head with many deeper fins and accomodates camless FM reflector.
3- Knerelated bezel which holds easy to find 52.1mm Boro lens.
4- Battery barrel of 2C or 3C which is removeable from switch housing.
5- Tail cap which pushes batteries and makes electrical connection.
All body patrs have been highly polished and chrome plated for maximum protection and ultimate look.
Throughout of flashlights have O'rings for water resistance.
All flashlights come with installed reflector (VLOP or MOP), Boro lens, bulb (WA1111 or WA1185) and male charging plug.
Simply install your lithium ion "C" batteries and switch it on.
Charging is extremely simple using your lithium ion charger without needs of removing from flashlight or use of any magnet.
Price will be $220 for 2C and $230 for 3C
Please do not pay at this time.
These products will be ready within few weeks.
Any question or comment welcome and appreciated. :thumbsup:

Whoa! :goodjob:

Holy sweeeeeeet!!!!!! :rock:

I'll take a 3C!

Holy cow. Put me on the list for at least one. Probably an FM11 since I already have a Mag85.

Question. you mention the Bi-pin socket adapter so I assume you're using switch internals from a Mag or some other light that uses standard PR base bulbs? Meaning that, in a crunch we could load a standard PR bulb in with 1.5 or 1.2v cells?

Also, Is this head 2"? It looks that way but i cannot tell for sure.

Lastly. After looking back into the Li-ion C cells it looks like they'll be slightly longer than normal sized C cells. Has this been taken into account?

Will these hosts require the special 'spacer' that AWs C size Li-ions need?

N I C E ! ! Me likey. Will there be a 1C version as well?

Looks great FM!
I'm in for a 3C!

FM - please put me down for a 2C if it has been sized to work with AW's new "longer than we thought it would be" cell? Thanks.

Kirk

EDIT: Just rethinking my post and noticed that you mention that the battery tubes are removable from the switch end. That being the case, what are the chances that we might be able to purchase an extra body? I would like to have the option of going with a single cell - either 1x 18650 or AW's C.

EDIT II: FM - :rock:I read your responses below. 2C it is for me. Thanks. Kirk

I'll take a 3c


Same question:

Can the 3c be made into a 2c (or even a 1c)...




Thanks for the heads-up Emack

Great looking light.

Like to sign up for a 2C.

Thanks

Actualy, I am using MC switch insert without focusing tower for minimal resistance and higher quality.

Yes, head is 2" and bezel, lens and reflector can be used in M*g.

Size of each "C cell is calculated for 53.5mm and this is according to AW's latest update. Another word, no extension needed.

are the heads threaded similar to a standard Mag? (Meaning could I drop in one of Jonathan's heatsinks if I so desired?)

No,
Thread and size of head is not same as M*g "C" or "D"
These are designed for hotwires only.

Not a big deal. Since battery barrel is removeable from switch housing, it is possible to make 1C, 3x18650, 5x14670, 8AA. 12AA and....

Amazing! Stunning...I have to say this really does look like a lightsaber.

Any chance these will be offered in the HA Grey finish you offer?

Real Legolights!!

Great FM - different battery tubes, and a 3" head too....??

Count me in for a junior 2C starter set please!

Looks fantastic. I would love a 3C. For a newbie like me what will run times be approx with the longer running packs or batteries?

Thx.

WHOA! Those are some slick looking torches! :thumbsup:

That depends on the bulb you're running and the specific cells. Are you talking about the standard Wa1185 bulb and 3 of AW's protected C 3300Mah cells? If so you should get between 55 minutes to an hour or so of runtime per charge.

Bi-Pin WA 01185: 9.6v 3.15a @ spec (817 b-lumens) / 10.8v (1234 b-lumens)
