Will a MAG85 out throw a M3T with the HOLA?

5.0Trunk · Feb 19, 2005

If anyone has these 2 lights, will the Mag85 out throw a M3T and if so, is it by alot?

Thanks

I don't have them but the answer is obvious.
Yes, and by a lot!

I owned a Mag85 and a KT2 (almost the same as the M3T). The reflectors are similar in size but the Mag85's 700+ lumens vs. HOLA 250 lumens; the Mag85 has bigger, brighter hotspot that just roars past the SF. The Mag85 is fun, but that is the one I sold. I kept my KT2 (way more practical and versatile). /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

My rather uneducated guess is that a M*g85 with an FM 3" head would SMASH most other lights...

My M*g74 ain't a bit shabby!

With a FM 3" head on it, there would be no competition. The Mag would smother it in lumens. Without the FM head, I don't really know but my guess woulb be yes.

just curious do you have either of those lights?

Thanks for the replies. The reason I asked is because I have an M3 and all the parts for the Mag85 less the reflector/lens. I was going to get the KT4 but I think I will get the FM3 H head and have two great lights. Thanks again.

I just showed my mag85 to the termite inspector today,, what fun...he was using a rov 2 d halogen with crappy batteries, I said try this light, he said, o a maglight those are nice...I said not really try it....

He was like OMG ....Our company should buy those for us....

I said they should but you have to build them you cant "buy them" (normally)....

Darklight, that was MEAN! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I mean, pitting a 2D cell light against one of the most powerful things in tube-torch land.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif how do you think the 2D will feel /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Let's see, 10-15 lumens on a good day with fresh cells vs 800+? Talk about nuking the anthill /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif

My fav part is the fry the back of your hand demo......

My only regret is not enough battery adapters and not EVEN enough 2100mAh NiMH to do do side by side runs!

Like I said though, my M*gBP74 is fun!
