I got a strange looking light here. It started out as an idea to make a Mule. I started out with a Red 2D Maglite and I have cut it down for a 1D. I have bored it to take 4AA NiMHs. I have cut the head down and done some cosmetics.
I will be putting a T6 1C in, with a NANJG driver (E1320 program). Here's a couple photos:
I have done some cosmetic mods to the light, to dress it up a little. I love red and polished on the same light.
The head was cut off where the threads for the body start and I cut a ring in the head, for the lens to sit in. I will probably be using epoxy to hold the lens in.
Just a shot of what it will look like.
I will use the normal aluminum heat sink, with copper wrap, like I do with most lights. The stock switch will be maintained, with the E1320 modded 105C between the switch and the LED.

I went ahead and finished this one up tonight. Here's the photos and some beam shots.
Maglite switch.
LED
Driver, with two extra 7135 chips. 10 chips in total. It gives a steady 3.25 amps at the tail cap.
Modified 4AA holder, copper contacts.
Everything together.
ISO 100, F:2.7, Daylight WB, 1 Sec. shutter.
It does give a little light if it head stands, not much, but a little. I'm glad I cut the grooves in it for that.
That's all folks....
