Right, it's not a problem for returning customers but for someone researching on the internet and seeing that without any indication that there will be options presented later will move on. Imagine someone presented with that registering an account, and heading down the checkout path on hopes of finding a reasonable shipping option.Not gonna happen.
I just trued disassembling a Mag. How so you get out that retaining ring? I've never seen that style before without holes for regular retaining ring pliers. Is there a different type out there somewhere or is it proprietary to Mag?
It has so far defied my attempts. Perhaps a pair of needle-nose pliers could be re-ground to fit but there must be an easier way.
How long is the sale going on? I'm a little nervous ordering before I can even open these Mags.
I always drop the switch out the bottom of the light first ( there is a hex key hole in the center of it). Once that is done I take a flat head screw driver and lift up under one end of the snap ring. Once in a while you will have to put a second screw driver in through the switch hole to keep the ring from spinning long enough to pop it out, but usually this is not needed.
The sale is scheduled to conclude Monday of next week.
I just want to double check something. When I was looking at that listing just now the way the item was described seem a bit ambiguous about weather or not the mcpcb was included in the sale. I have changed it now to be more clear that it does not, however if you were under that impression, just let me know and I will stick them in the pack :)
They were picked up at 2:17 Saturday afternoon and arrived at my local post office at 7:47 Monday morning! Somebody must have switched their decaf to regular.
Just got a vc4 charger and two feilong 6000mah batteries. Waiting for my 5000 lumens dropin led upgrade from you. I can't wait. For the time being I have put in my aluminum reflector, 6d bulb, and cut the tailcap spring to take the 32650's.
I purchased the new 5000lm 6d drop in from you last night. I’ll be running it on 2x 26650 5200mAh. Any idea what I should expect for runtime on high or what the max current draw might be?
Thank you for still making impressive drop-ins for Mags.
Well I got the same drop in about a week and a half ago, it is TITS! I am running two 32650 feilongs unprotected, I get like 3+hrs. Very glad to have this upgrade. One big important thing to note is you must tighten things in the proper order and not too much because of where the oring presses on the lens, I broke a lens like after two days :(, luckily I had spares. And you better have a glass lens or the plastic will melt like asap.
I charge my batteries in the van when I am driving between jobs. I have the vc4 and the stereo I built has a 2amp usb charge port. I want to get a second set of protected cells, didn’t realize the feilongs weren’t protected. I have like 30 protected 26650’s so I may make a sleeve to be able to use them.
*Edit: turns out my runtime of 3 hrs was wrong, using my mag as a hammer to bend over some nails caused it to change modes so it wasn’t running on high but 40% or some other mid setting. Finally managed to reprogram it, found it easiest to only partly depress the switch otherwise I couldn’t do it fast enough to enter the programming mode. Also, I had to physically press the switch twice as many times to enter the mode I wanted.
On High the batteries last around 40 min. On the lowest setting around 54 hours. On fresh cells peak current is around 10amps at on high, but it will settle to around 7-8 once the over voltage has run off.
. Thanks again.
