M2 mod

marcdilnutt · Oct 26, 2005

Hello all,
I have a SF M2, but i am fed up with the runtime, output and yellowish beam. I put a lux v, unknown bin, DD in a m@g 2D with 3 123a batteries which totally blew me away, its so bright!!! I want to do something similar with the M2, but am a bit new to the converter side of things. Can anybody suggest the easiest way to get the brightest lux v light out of this please?
Thanks a lot,
Marc

may not be the brightest 5watt, but you can purchase a 5watt drop-in for all surefire that will accept a P60.

there's a recent thread about them.

to get brightest 5watt, you'd need an Xbin. kinda of hard to find. closest is Wbin that's been popin up lately.

ArcMania recently made an Xbin module that fits a turbohead. then bore your M2 body to accept 18650.

do both and you'll have highest performing M2/L5 combo available.

Doesn't BOG have a 5watter out right now? it's under dealers section. I heard good things about it but haven't gotten the right time to buy one yet....

Thanks for the advice,
I was thinking of sticking with the standard head, its going to be a glove compartment light so the turbo head might be a bit big. I will have a look for that b o g 5w module.
Cy,
i see you have an M6, is it as good as it sounds? I am really trying to justify getting one soon.

M6 with M6R pack by JS is better than everyone is raving about

Cy,
That 5w drop in you mention, do you have one? I was wondering what converter is in it.

If you have access to a lathe, you can thread a McR-27 so that it will screw into a C-series head, then use a McCapsule as a drop-in.
