Re: where to buy

just keep watching litho123, he may well be the best source eventually.....

fivemega is making a nice light orange peel aluminium reflector upgrade for the Magcharger, perhaps he's got a few spare high output bulbs laying around...

hi guys-rikvee-you weren't able to make it to the last shootout in perth were you ?


fisher-yeah, that shop is a LOT cheaper than the king of knives.....
can you get spare wall units from that shop ?
(ie. the plug pack transformers) ?
i wonder what they cost ?

$1AUD = 0.75USD

$275 aussie $ = $206 USD

i'm looking at getting a mag charger, and surefire G2
i'll probably get the G2 from ebay
and the mag charger from one of the following :

1.Ebay-aust seller AUD$180 + $15 postage complete 240V set
= AUD$ 195 = USD$ 146

2.Lighthound.com USD$99.99 + USD$21.99 complete 110V set
= USD122 = AUD$162

3.Fox-international.com https://www.fox-intl.com/item.asp?id=135
RX1019 - complete Mag Flashlight system qty 1 USD$84.95 and 68244 Streamlight flashlight qty 1 USD$22.95- shipping will be USD$36.50
=USD$145 = AUD$193 (for a mag charger and a streamlight
4AA luxeon 3 torch)

If i get a usa mag charger then it should be easy to get a local voltage plug pack to use instead of the 110V unit

I just got in some bi-pin WA1160's today. Check out my website under "Superbulbs". My wife can quote you a shipping price and you can paypal us for the total.

Send me a PM if interested.
