Hello from overseas - MagLite 2D conversion wannado

Hey all,

I've been following this forum for a while now and love all the brilliant stuff you guys (and girls) come up with.
As my MagLite 2D is growing old I'm getting serious about converting it - but now many many questions are born and I hope you can help me out. :duh2:

My dream would be a rechargeable System with a (as bright as possible) LED and at least 3h runtime at high.
Three to four modes [Low + high + strobe + (medium)] would be nice.
If possible i would like a voltage-control (maybe with status-led?) inside the flashlight and some sort of socket in the back for loading.

Also it would be awesome if the strobe was at the 18-20Hz (as mentioned in Grizzlyb's thread) but it really doesn't have to.
I can get to a lathe + milling machine as a heat sink will be needed.
And last but not least: the stuff should be available in Europe/Austria and not cost me a fortune as I'm still in college


Hope you guys can help me out. :thinking:


Sincerely yours,
Alex

Alex, I'm a newb, and have no clue how to answer your question, but I'd like to welcome you aboard!

That is alot to ask. what is your budget?

Well thank you for the welcome!

@Gtamazing:
As low as possible
No I'm thinking of going the direction of Jayrob's 1000 lumen mod with Voltage monitor.
I'm also in touch with him about a rather special Maglite 6D converion.
