QUOTE(LightJunk @ Jan 18 2010, 09:12 PM) Sounds good. My 1D host should be with me this week. Just a matter of soldering wires to switch. Wow...Elephant 2..that should make a damn good host. You have one? Considering many things...maglite 1d is already half the price of the host and thats without the battery holder...get elephant 2 A Option without the head..use maglite head and switch... |

QUOTE(LightJunk @ Jan 18 2010, 10:21 PM) Mag 1D is indeed cheaper to mod than buying the Elephant 2. It comes complete instead of the Elephant 2. hmm...yes i would agree if basic maglite cut to 1d only, but if made to elephant 2 host spec?Prices for these 1xD's (which include shipping): Any color: $60 domestic, $75 international Extra services: - Internal boring for 4xAA battery adapters is an extra $30 - Body/head grooving: $30 each - Modify stock switch to work with flat cells (an optionally cut tower off) - $15 - Custom Battery Sleeves Delrin/Aluminum - $45 each - Deep tailcap mod with Al plug for 18650 cell - $20 Total = USD 155 W/O battery adapter + Shipping Elephant 2 ( Option A ) A- Short body comes with one tail cap, tail spring, 4x18650 battery holder, o'rings and switch rubber cover. Total = USD 120 + USD 20 ( Shipping ) = USD 140 Not complete but i have a D maglite..i did'nt realize this until i looked closer.I could be missing something. Need to consider..or i can just use it on my existing Maglite 2d and 4 d. This post has been edited by metalmania: Jan 18 2010, 11:52 PM |

QUOTE(LightJunk @ Jan 20 2010, 12:37 AM) Thanks metalmania. Mag 1D P7 coming soon. beautiful collection..to many variations of mag i dont know which to choose...  Added on January 20, 2010, 1:10 am QUOTE(hoongern @ Jan 19 2010, 11:49 PM) Oh NO! Unfortunately, my setup may not be ready :'( shit...i feel you...i say, the long wait and loads spent..kapoof... I just experienced a short circuit, and my IMR18500 cells died, along with my twisty tailcap and D26 T1.5 module springs  http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=257976 Lesson: Do NOT underestimate how powerful IMR cells can be - exercise caution! And remove your batteries before changing P60 drop-ins, and check that the spring is straight before putting them back in!  This post has been edited by metalmania: Jan 20 2010, 01:10 AM |

QUOTE(LightJunk @ Jan 20 2010, 01:25 AM) Yup...took me a while to understand. The battery adapters itself can buy you a Mag 3D. Damn expensive. thats true....not sure if i need to go for it..still considering it...i more keen on finishing the parts i have bought and using the mag host..anyway i'm not rushing, i have enough light for now, but tri p7 and single p7 needs to be done..Good luck with your build. |

QUOTE(LightJunk @ Jan 20 2010, 01:37 AM) You have to build those on your own. It will be very interesting. I did both on my own. From sawing the tower switches to soldering and epoxying the LEDs' to the sink. Sourcing PVC tube took me a few days to find suitable one. oic...any parts you with to sell of PM me..i'm done with battery and pvc...down to just 3 more components...I undo the single P7 to give way for the SST-90 DD d2flex. |

QUOTE(alantch @ Jan 21 2010, 09:43 AM) Yap ... the one I saw is the one with the bigger reflector - it BIG! The S1800 looks good; lots of cooling fins and probably similar in size to the M6. my thoughts are the same...might be slightly bigger, dont you think  |

well nice work...yes with a saw with rough teeth it usually latches it self to the object, use finer hacksaw blade..the usual blue or orange for finer cuts. Saw with rough spaced tooth like in the picture is for wood. Is that a Gerber?
Lightjunk- i see you have a number of big lights...any plans on getting the S1800 or sth that size? This post has been edited by metalmania: Jan 23 2010, 01:48 AM |

QUOTE(LightJunk @ Jan 23 2010, 02:00 AM) I don't keep those hacksaw blades. The Leatherman finer tooth will take me twice the time. So I sort to the coarser one. Yes PVC battery adapter cost me just RM4...hehee..momentary switch is also done ,waiting for buck and few other stuff... Big lights for me...not at the moment. I've spent too much for the past 2 months  . That mod above complete my collection of all common LEDs' except the MC-E though. Am eyeing the S1800 but wait till the price drop or on sale.Fyi...I've just saved $60 by doing the switch and battery sleeve mod myself. |
