Sold/Expired :::Sold out::: SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

***Latest run is sold out***



New lower price! See post #19

They're back, for a limited time only! I was able to get ahold of a few more of these to mod, get 'em while you can! There's still nothing else like it in its size, especially since it runs on AAA batteries... no lithium worries! Get this classic SSC modded light while you can, I'm not sure when/if I'll be able to get more.

YMMV :tinfoil:

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

I'll take one.

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

Thanks for the runtime graph, EngrPaul! I've been getting pretty much the same results... anywhere from 1hr 5 min, to 1hr 15 min to 50%, using NiMH batteries.

For those of you who don't know, EngrPaul was the first (that I know of) to swap an SSC into these lights. :bow:

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

Thanks, BrightLight! PM sent with payment info.

How is it possible? I thought LL Hokus Focus is direct driven :thinking:.

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

Yes, they're direct drive. But when using NiMH batteries, which have a relatively flat output curve, it performs like a regulated light. The benefit is that there's no driver to burn out or malfunction. Simplicity at it's best!

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

Wow, I never realized how nice the output graph is! I love the one you modded for me, and grab it every time I need a compact thrower. Simply a great light.

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

I'll take one please...shipped to a US address of course.

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

BrightLight and xrdiver, your lights have been shipped... thanks!

kavvika, thanks for the plug! I'm glad you're still enjoying your light.

Good quality NiMH batteries.

P.S. I don't use a fan when I do a runtime.

If you are looking for a flashlight that pierces the fog, try this one. There is very little side-spill, so the light bounces off your target, not the moisture in the air.

Added some pics to first post...

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

I'm in for another one. I'll send you a PM shortly.

Thanks amik! You've bought quite a few of these from me in the past, thanks for the support! :twothumbs

Re: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

Are you finding they are waterproof stock, or do you have to add o-rings?

Re: ::Added Pics:: They're Back!! SSC Modded Coast Focusing Lensers!!!

Hi

How far can this thing possibly throw?

can it throw as far as DBS v2?

I only tested a couple of them, and they were stock. Then again, I only tested them at a 1 ft depth...not a tough test. I classify them as dunkable, not waterproof. I was surprised myself, especially with the switch... I thought that would be the weak point. Turns out the switch is sealed well...it has a silicone boot/seal, as well as an o-ring.

Although I didn't find a trace of water anywhere in the flashlights after the test, I think the head may be the weakest link to allow water in. In any case, people were asking me if they could be used in the rain... after this test, I'd say yes! :twothumbs

Hi KRS1,
Nope, won't throw near as far as a DBS. However, the beam is totally different than a DBS (or any other reflector based flashlight). There isn't really a discernable difference between spot and spill, it's basically all spot... but a bigger spot than a typical light. Put it this way, a DBS will light up the neighbor's garage door across the street... the modded Coast will light up the whole house! :duck:

New price! $59 shipped.

My costs have went down by exactly $10 for each light, and I'm passing the savings on to you. Even with all the new lights out there, this light is still in its own class, and I think it's a great deal!


And to be fair to the other three who just paid the full $69 (xrdriver, amik, brightlight), I'm sending $10 to your Paypal accounts.



I have a few more that I'm finishing up now, and have added them to the list in the first post.
