MadMax+ WO with optics? UCL? 3 AA\'s?!?
It looks like I'll be getting the MadMad+ WO for my old (good 10 years) Minimag. If someone knows of an even brighter sandwich, please let me know ASAP before I buy! The MadMax drives a Lux 3 at 800mh, but if I can get even a bit higher...
I could certainly use some configuration advice based on the based on the fact that I'm looking to make the brightest damn little Mini in NY, or at least Long Island. I'm willing to trade a fair amount of battery and LED life for this.
I also have some questions.
1. What's the difference between the TX0J and TX1J variations?
2. Are there any optics I can add onto this or any other bright as hell sandwich to get a little tighter beam?
3. I have a threaded third battery extension tube that allows 3 AA's to be used. Will this have the effect of giving either brighter light or longer runtime? Or will I just end up with a toasted sandwich?... I'll have mine with cheese.
4. Do I need to be looney enough over a Mini to get a UCL? Will any difference be visible?
5. Will lithium AA's give some extra kick?
Sorry for so many questions in one post. All suggestions are welcome! I'm open to variation here in my quest to make a Minimonster.
