Maglite 3C mod - old school style (picture heavy)

A little sloppy, but I suppose it’ll do :wink:
Jk, beautiful work! Love the polished copper.

Ol’ Lumens would be proud. Craftsmanship & Ingenuity.

Beautiful work.

:+1:

Very nice work Cula :+1: .
I use to build several of these mag modes. Lots of work but nothing else like it.
I never built a mag quad though, great job.
Some serious hand tool skills you got there, I especially like the copper addition. :wink:
Good to see some of these old school (OL) mods here. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work and thanks for sharing!

WOW :open_mouth: :beer: Now that is incredible, what a beauty, this is innovation at it’s Finest! :heart_eyes: :+1:

Yes, another incredible and shiny Cula build!! I especially like the copper section screwed in place :heart_eyes: .
Thanks for showing it all to us with beautiful pictures!

Very impressive!!

Great work and great looking light.

Wow! That’s a lot of manual work and a beautiful end result.

Nice mod! Or more like an entire creation. I remember your post from the Shadow mod, which was equally stunning.

:student: :beer:

Gorgeous creation! So refreshing to see this build and with details. So many great modding ideas/tips in it.

I have to admit that availability of off-the-shelf, high-performance lights has dampened my enthusiasm for flashlight modding. But this build helped remind me that there is still joy in handcrafting an entirely unique light. Congrats Cula!

Did I like your mod? No.
I loved your mod. :heart_eyes:
Orsm effort and I have to agree with everyone else’s comments here. Well done. :beer:

Very cool, enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing!

Nice work :+1:

Mr. Old - Lumens looking down from above giving props and blessings for a great MOD man.

wonderful and inspiring project!

Thank you guys for your kind comments :beer:

Didn’t get a chance to test this Maglite thoroughly yet but as soon as I do I’ll post my observations.

Nice work Cula. Looks real good. :+1: Love mag mods!

Tested it thoroughly during a last few days and it meets all of my expectations :laughing: . Left it at the full throttle for 3 min and then stopped (at room temperature, no air flow), didn’t want to push it any longer. It can handle the heat coming from the emitters, like all of my builds. It is basically a flodder with a very smooth beam (at white wall).
Failed miserably at making a photos of the beam, like I always do :person_facepalming: .

Thanks again for your comments.

I’ll probably sell this one soon and start a new project. It would be a shame to let this Maglite sit on a shelf unused. That happens to most of my flashlights.

Cheers :beer:
