Lowe's Lux Pro MAX 2D LXII flashlight Video tear down, + photos and Mod to MT-G2/6xAA NiMHs - Beam Shots are up!

Keeney Mfg. Co. 12-in Plastic Straight Coupling just cut to fit and use an O ring or two around it, for less play.

Thanks for the info and for some strange reason I think that I have something like that in stock.

Oh my, that shorty looks great.

Do yall think it’s possible to use blf20dd-z in this application?

Beam shots are in the OP now. Stock light, 1D light, MT-G2 light

I sometimes don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that I live 75 miles from the nearest Big Box Store.

I’m waiting for you to mod a Taco Bell burrito with an MTG2 … :party:

Brrrrrrpppp!

I am posting to say that I went to Lowes today, got the light. It is different. The driver is different, and the driver retaining ring does not unscrew; it is a press fit job (that I managed to mangle trying to “unscrew”)

^ Hmm, is that one of the older XP-G (Not the newer XP-G2) model? The pill looks different then both models though.

When I revisited my store this morning, I finally located the original display of these lights. Remember up until now they came thru with an XP-G. This new deal has the XP-G2. Here is a pic of both versions and the bar codes on each package is identical. That means both will ring up at 12.97, but what we all want is the newer XP-G2. Just make sure the one you grab is the right one.

I did stop at Lowe’s today and near the checkout cash registers they had the older XP-G lights for the higher price but on the big display with the signs that say Christmas Gifts For Under $…. they had the newer XP-G2 lights for the lower price.

So you have to look before you buy with both being available.

Yes it appears I didn’t pay close attention!

And I knew OL had said xp-g2… Wondered why different

Take them back for a refund or a exchange.

My local Lowes only had out the XP-G (which I bought one of) version till yesterday when they put out a display of 50 of the XP-G2’s of which I promptly bought 4 and will be returning the XP-G version.

Excellent review and mod OL…if anyone can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear you can sir.

Any pics on the 1D mod (walkthru)?

Awesome…simply awesome!

Would 26700 king kongs fit in this light?

What high drain batteries will fit if not?

With two cells? If you do the MT-G2 way and use 2 Li-ions, they have to be unprotected cells. A shorter spring is needed for protected cells. I still use my Sony flat top cells, which are discontinued, but high drain 18650 could be used too, with the proper sleeve. The spring has to be shortened to keep from damaging cells from excessive spring pressure.

EDITED: to correct my comments.

Let me ask you,

Which 2 26650’s would you buy from Richard to run an mt-g2 in DD with the 20mm fet driver with zener mod in this light?

I will correct my statemrnt. Protected will fit, with a short spring.

The D cells are standard D cells. 34.2 × 61.5. You could drop yours in, but the spring is very stiff. I would suspect you will damage the end of the cell. With a very weak spring, it might be ok. I had to shorten the spring. I shortened it so protected cells will barely fit in and unprotected still touch the spring. Just try your cells and see how much room is left. It's the best way to know for sure. I suspect they will be tall enough that they will be going into the tail cap a hair and that would definitely need a shorter spring.
