Hi All,
This is my first batch of micro mags this flashlight growing season. It’s a bit early this year because we here in Maine have encountered and early winter and have been snowbound for the last two weeks. I’ve used Mountain Electronic’s version of the FET+1 driver in these micromags as well as Samsung LH35 4000k 90+CRI emitters on the Mountain triple copper board. This combination uses direct drive off a high drain 14500 cell to drive the light to 8 amps on turbo at start up, dropping to 6.8 amps at 30 seconds. There is around four to five minutes of run time before the light gives a low voltage warning when the battery reaches 3 volts. The battery is only providing about an amp to the emitters by time the low voltage protection kicks in.
These lights also feature the advantage of a dual channel driver to create a moon mode of about a lumen or two (estimated in comparison to a D25A on firefly mode). Additional features include a 60 second turbo timer as a safety to prevent damage to flashlight/flesh, a four mode user interface (Moon-Low-Med-Turbo) with off time memory, a tailcap spring bypass mod to reduce resistance, and Carclo optics. My micro mags are all built as described here excepting that I use aluminum heatsinks instead of copper and I’ve upgraded to some printed parts. I estimate around 2800 lumens at start up and 2400 lumens at 30 seconds based on emitter testing by Texas Ace. Turbo should still be giving a couple hundred lumens when the low voltage warning flashes. The blue and purple mags have narrow frosted optics and the red has narrow clear.
The sugar shack is at 60 yards.
Price includeing CONUS shipping is $73 each. International buyers pay additional shipping.
First reply followed by PM gets the light of their choice (red and blue are sold).
