I have a 7C maglite that's been around for years, originally bought by my father but it's all-original (except being a bit beat up by now) so now that I am on a roll here with LEDs etc, why not pimp the Mag too.. :devil:
Googling and searching CPF led me to a Malkoff drop-in for up to 6C Mags (I could use a dummy cell). Also found this R.O.P incandescent stuff. These would retain the zooming function. Then there's a ton of threads about modding dropins etc. Lots of VERY old threads and I couldn't really find anything very current.
I'm looking for an easy mod but not scared of a bit of work on parts (I own and can wield a soldering iron and a dremel) as long as I can convert back to a fully original Mag later if I want. Apparently the 7C is not available on every corner...
What are the obvious choices for a semi-mod? I'm especially interested in very tight spot if available (newbie thread readers may have seen my boating light dilemma)..
There must be massive potential in this baby
