I have 2 FM flashlights for sale:
One is a Chrome (and 95% perfect) 12A 3D mag light with a corroded battery holder (there is also some corrosion at the inside wall of the light where a battery decided to "bleed" - all still seems functional). FM was selling this light and the holder for $180. I have never used this light and do not know if the corrosion to the battery holder will stop it from working once cleaned. I believe that it would simply be cosmetic once cleaned up but I have never used this light and do not have a switch for it. It comes with a Kaidomain relfector that will accept the "torch" bulb. I would forget the existing battery holder and order Luxluthors 15.6 battery for it, the "Torch" bulb and AW's switch. Now that would be nice
The other is a TL3 3x18500 Axial. It has the Streamlight TL3 head with a custom body. With his high powered bulb it seems to put out as much or more than the LF 700 lumens bulb for the 13 volt WE Rattlesnake and has a little more throw with a similar beam pattern as the 200 lumens TL3 stock bulb.
The TL-3 "hybrid" has some scratches and wear and no bulb (get that from FM or other) but is otherwise functional.
The Chrome 12AA has some wear to the finish but is in good shape. It also has the original bezel and a crenelated (spelling?) one that I forget who I got it from (maybe FM?)
Total for both lights is $140 shipped ($10 more outside US). Here are pics and a video http://chimneycheck.blogspot.com/2009/02/fm-3x18500-axial-and-chrom-12aa-3d-mag.html
Here is FM's link to the 12AA 3D light: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/176255
