Hello, long-time lurker finally getting around to starting my first project from the below link quoted text -
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...ad.php?t=94229
7) Mag 3D with 8 AA in 3AA to 1D adapters and a 7.2v KPR18 bulb ($18+$11+$1.40 = $30.40 not including batteries). Plug and play mod, I call this the poor mans Mag85 Pumps out maximumlight without forcing you to swap out reflector, lens, etc. Just be careful with hot NIMH or alkies so you dont instaflash - use 8 batteries to be safe. Dummy cells are easy to make with some bare copper wire and a wooden dowel.
My only question is which AA-D spacer to use? The ones linked below do not have enough current capacity. I found custom-made, higher cost ones on CPF but nothing in-between. Is there anything? I tried searching but the higher cost adapters were the only ones I found other than the aventrade ones but those are parallel-connected -
