The poor little incan just doesn't work very well. You've either got a hilariously shaped beam unfocused (one big ring way outside, a smaller one in the middle) or a horribly misshapen beam in the center (as shown). The LED version is SO much better.

WOW that Q5 mod is great! :wave:

Its a very simple mod , anyone should be able to do it ..

There will be a step by step guide shortly , for anyone that wants to upgrade there incan Mini Mag on the cheap ...

Cost of a LED + Dummy cell or resistor and any other upgrades such as tail clicky etc . Should cost under $10 USD for the basic mod .
Resistor and Cree should be like $5USD ..
And the 14500 is cheap enough , so if you already have a WF-139 or a Trustfire 001 , you should be good to go .

That Q5 Mod is NICE! I've got several mini-mags that I'd love to upgrade. Can't wait for the Step by Step guide.

This is exactly the kind of mod I've been looking for. I can't wait for the guide (I'm new to this whole type of thing!)

Ace beam shots thanks, bring on the mod bit!!
I am even going to dig out my bits of a complete AA mag in the garage ready for the helpful mod update.
I have modded a few already Romisen RC-F4 and a 3W police special.
