Sold/Expired FS: Maglite 'Stubby' Kit For Large Li-Ion 32600

jayrob · Dec 18, 2010

Edit: Forget this mod... I have an XML 'Stubby' mod shown at the bottom of the first post in this thread:

FS: 1000 Lumen XML Maglite Mod With Voltage Monitor - Parts, or Complete Light!

Maglite D 'Stubby'

Here's a cool little mod that I did for setting up a large capacity single Li-Ion Maglite...

* Using a high capacity 32600 (or 32650, or 26650)

* And a Terralux Cree LED (TLE 6EXB) emitter

Basically a really nice capacity, very nice Maglite finish, and heavy duty side button forward clicky in a shortened configuration!

Nice to have a 6000mAh capacity battery that won't leak like an Alkaline...

Just check the battery voltage once in a while to make sure it doesn't get over discharged if your battery is unprotected... (Until you get the feel for how long it will go between charges)

Emitter:

TLE-6EXB items - Get great deals on Sporting Goods, Electronics items on eBay.com!

The TLE 6EXB emitter, is made to just replace the stock bulb. It's an easy change out!

It is the 140 lumen LED that is set up for 3 to 4.5 volts. (the driver is inside the emitter housing) This is perfect for the large capacity 32600 single Li-Ion.

So it's not a super bright light. But it will have a really great run time. (like about 10 hours) And still be fairly bright. Plus the nice sizing of the light, and a rechargeable Li-Ion that won't leak like an Alkaline...

Here's some battery sources:

Hope you like it!

Maglite P7:

I don't know if it has already been shown, but I will soon show a really easy modification for a P7 emitter. Using a Maglite 2D, with 2 X 32600 Li-Ions, and a drop in P7 module that is an aluminum reflector with a copper heatsink for the P7 emitter.

Re: 1 D cell Magllte stubby

Anyone built a 1 D cell stubby and put in a series AA converter so it runs at 4.5V?
