Well, gang, Rusty has been feeling the downsize pinch lately, and as it is the case that minimalism is (nearly) as addictive as lumephilia, I have decided to part ways with a number of luminaries and the parts thereof.
Iāve been walking across the house cleaning on a day when everyone else is out partying and having family time. With that said, Happy 4th, everybody! But holidays have never been for me. Itās just beer and tacos tonight, and then some fooling around, and then sleep. Havenāt felt good all week, so rather than travel, Iāve decided to take my partially crippled self across this undecorated hole I call an apartment and clean. But I keep seeing these unused devices and know I need to pass them on to folks who can use them.
So, here they are, separated by the center dividing line of the table of what doesnāt work (LEFT) and what works (RIGHT)ā¦
I am NOT looking to make money off of this stuff. Iām just looking to not lose any on shipping costs. Just give me a decent amount to send this stuff off and I have protected shipping packets for my part-time ebay business to ensure that everything gets where itās going safe and sound. This is Contiguous US only, but if you by chance really, really want something and are international, PM me and I can work something out (though it may be prohibitively expensive).
OKā¦starting from right to left in back row, we haveā¦
1) a Rayovac 4AA single LED 35 lumen spotter. Great throw, freaking lousy output. A standard LED MAG on 2 alki C cells will clean itās clock nearly three times over. But great mod project.
$4.50 ships
2) A Brinkmann 3W 3AAA LED of 45 lumens. I purchased it at Target back when the Brinkmann Maxfire with its whopping 71 lumens and the Surefire G2 of 65 lumens were all the tactical talk. Bad, throwy, holey, artifacty, dimming output, no heatsinkingātotal mod project all the way.
$4.00 ships
3) Same light body from a company called Armormax. This has what looks like an R5. Produces 140 lumens on fresh cells only, and I think it puts out about that. But no heatsinking and dims quickly. Like the gray Brinkmann, I used this one a while, but unlike the gray one, the body is in great shape. This has been modded with a KD dropin, which I de-modded shortly after due to high resistance from the battery tray. Lots of potential with both of these for real modding, as everything comes out and apart.
$4.00 ships
5) Four Goulin C8 Minis; remember those āworldās smallest C8sā from BuyinCoins a while back that run on 1AAA? I bought a few to cell on ebay, but upon discovering how crappy they were (maybe 40 lumens) and really dinky, I realized I couldnāt in good conscience sell them. $5.00 ships all (if you want less, PM me).
* 6) Skyray A0. This is a nice budget XM-L thrower I got just a few weeks ago. Iād be keeping it if it werenāt for the ācoming on in next mode with every clickā thingy. I decided I couldnāt live with that. This is one of 2 items I will be asking to make what I spent on since itās basically unused and in perfect shape. Will come with lanyard and original box. $27 ships - will include priority mail
* 7) CANSO XM-L Zoomie 1 x 18650 in near-perfect condition. Maybe one scratch. If I donāt sell numbers 6 and 7 here, theyāll be on ebay for more. Great light, 630 lumens, but I donāt like XM-L zoomies. Will never own another and have no need for this one. $28 ships - will include priority mail
9) Brinkmann Legend LX, 70 lumen incan. Bought in 2005, and to date, one of the smoothest flood beams available. Runs on 2 CR123s only. 6 volt max. Great mod project, but will take some work. Will NOT fit 18650. Dad loved this light, but it goes through batteries too fast. Iām still barely letting go of it.
$5.00 ships
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦AND NOW FOR THE BROKEN STUFF AND/OR MOD PROJECTS, AGAIN GOING FROM BACK TO FRONT AND RIGHT TO LEFTā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦SIZE IS AN ISSUE WITH LARGER ITEMS AND FEWER LARGER BOXESā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
14) 4 C Mag with switch cover missing and no reflector. Battery is stuck inside. The reflector went to Maggie! Good host for modding.
$8 ships
17) Walmart Valuebrite 6 volt lantern. Doesnāt work, for some reason. 70 lumens on fresh cell. Big hole in the beam. Mod it or melt it! Itās getting tossed if it doesnāt move.
$4.50 ships
18) Trigger switch (from Easy Light Buy). I was unable to get the tailcap off in fixing my HD2010. New tailcap is on the way, so there are two of these, just the clicky mechanisms themselves.
50 cents ships
19) - See Last Entry -
20) Bug Bear Out LED drop-in. Purchased in 2006. About 115 lumens or something. P60 drop-in. Pill only. Spring is broken off. Very blueish tint. Last used 2 years ago.
50 cents ships
21) 2 5D Mag incan Krypton bulbs.
$2 ships
22) 2 6D Mag incan Krypton bulbs.
$2 ships
Please understand, I donāt want to ruffle any feathers, so this will be first-come-first-serve. And again, Iām not looking to make anything. I just donāt want to lose anything, and if Iām over by a couple bucks, thatās fine, too. These can be useful to someone, I know.
I will combine multiple orders, so PM me with any requests or concerns you have, and (obviously) with what youād like. Paypal is the method of payment.
And so we begin.
