Re: New Mag C-cell incandescent twisties: M25IT
^^ coming up.
I've got some TL3 bulbs on order along with some 'good' 18500's. But a trip to batteries plus bulbs yielded some 'solar light' 1000 maH batteries and I have a few 4C mag xenons in stock.
2 cell bulb was an insta flash with the 18500's. But the 4 cell bulb has a few minutes on it and so far so good.
Brb...
I'm back.
First a couple of photos from the light in stock form.
^^ yuck!!
That was the best beam I could muster.
^^ eh, not so bad for a measely 30 lumens.
But thanks to a tip from fivemega and a nudge from scout there is better.
^^ big dif
^^ even better
^^ good ole Mag hole begins
^^ double heck yeah!!!!
The garage in the distance is about a football field away.
^^ let there be throw... ala incan.
The neighbor several doors down shaded his eyes going 'oh no not again'...
So as you can see there is a huge difference. Not only is it a lot brighter but the quality of the beam went from junk to not bad at all. And now instead of picking the least ugly spot, it can go from a pencil spot to one about 3x wider before the black hole sets in, and become a decent flooder before the rings of saturn set in.
Edit:
The supplied lens gets mighty warm mighty quick. So I emailed flashlight lens .com to see if they will be selling replacement 40mm's and to see if glass will be available.
So in other words my little $15.99 + s&h + batteries flash light is up to about $60...so far.
