Re: TK 3 D modded mag Reduced
i think i typod 1385 vs 1185...
to be perfectly clear: because it comes with the dimmer 1318s.. i'll have to get some 1185s.. Tom (NikolaTesla) is the man when it comes to these kinda lights...
I have in-fact used exactly the 1185 bulb run from exactly the same battery pack.. which is exactly why i bought this light :-D.
We measured 20,000 lux from either the 3D setup with 9AAs or the 1 1/2D setup with 3 168s.. Tom's hotwire had a PR base vs the bi-pin so we could swap heads.. I'm working on a BAM mod that will use the bi-pin so i can swap heads with that as well... but for now.. the hotwire will be stuck in the 3D bigger body which is fine.. if i want 10,000 lux and LED i get the 1/2 size body.. if i want 20,000 lux and HW i use the 3D body.. helps distinguish them as well.
I've teased many about the incan.. you should see the 'teaser' post i put on the new
Mr Bulk Forum where i said that incan guys were silly.. just to see if i'd get a reaction.. (of course mentioning this buy in the next line)... and saying 'just a test'.
N.T. also has a 1D HID light that is powered by 4 123 primaries... and outputs a ludicrous 30,000 lux.. boy that man has the toys!.. find the link on his signature to his pile of lights!
I have also used the maxabeam (which i have on loan).. and the X990 (3500 lumen.. holy COW!).. so i know about bright.. however.. this one is a gem.. once i put in the hotter bulbs i'll get 20klux.
i was kinda hoping to get another 1 1/2 D to host my first hotwire incan but this makes my 1 1/2D LED monster shine a little better in comparison.
