I'll... No I can't sorry. :'( I'm sure this will sell soon.

and here I thought you were buying this one.Tongue Out

Hi OL

Could you please guesstimate how much lumens your mag puts out please?

Edit: Sorry just went through your build thread and saw you already guesstimated it :smiley:

Actually, knowing the total of the tail cap amps, 7.75 amps, and some three finger figuring, I would assume about 2300 lumens would be a good estimate, but that could be all smoke too, since I can't test that. When I said about 1600, in the build thread, I didn't do any three finger figuring, so that was a very low estimate.

Anyone want to chime in here, go for it...

It's bright!

Assuming 100% efficiency, each LED will get 2.58 amps, but let’s round down to 2.5 amps because the driver probably isn’t 100% efficient (kind of impossible).
At 2.5 amps an XML will produce just over 800 lumens in IDEAL CONDITIONS - meaning adequate heat management. Since this is all in a maglite with what might quite possibly be one of the least surface area lights ever made we can also safely assume that this isn’t ideal for heat management. So let’s drop the lumen output by 50 lumens.

So, 750*3 = 2250 lumens.

This is just an estimation, but it’s safe to assume that it will output over 2100 lumens.

Also Justin, what is the ‘three finger figuring’ method you used?

That’s when you are missing fingers, LOL. It’s just an expression.

Believe me OL, I was very tempted. :D

I guess I’m too young to understand…

I’ll take it. PM to be sent shortly.

!!!!! Translates to:

Danged Okie! It is ILLEGAL to send TEXAS MODDED LIGHTS TO OKLAHOMA! Re direct that package to Amarillo immediately! This is the lumen police talkin here!!!

Oh, OK…. Good luck with the light…. :cry: … I’ll be a good sport about it…. >) No hard feelings here… :Sp

Dan.

Lol

Does every one who buys from Old-Lumens feel like they just cheated someone? You can tell a lot of effort and care and parts went into this light.

Yeah, my OL lights all are amazing, it still amazes me how much I paid for my 1D.

I am glad I caught you in a lull. :slight_smile:

The 2AA I bought off OL was $3 more than an unmodded version from a local store.
I love it and still use it everyday.

Yeah, I'm trying to limit myself to one a week. ;)

|( :zipper_mouth_face: Nope! Still not mad about missing that light… Nope! J)

Not bothering me! :cry:

Dan

Texas, speaking from experience you'll still be bummed about missing out on it 2 weeks from now. :P

You got it!

Thank you

Wonderful deal here, hope you enjoy it!

I am pretty sure I will like it. Now that it is official that it is mine, I am in the giddy mode. I have read and re-read the the build thread and oogled over the pics there and here. A question has come to me.

What does this mean?

The only other modded light I have purchased was the “E1320 5 mode UF 2100”. It has no blinkie modes and has memory. To over-ride the memory, you have to cycle the switch fairly quickly, helping to minimize nuisance unintentional mode changes. I like this UI and think it would be icing on the cake if this is what is coming to me.

I googled the driver used and saw that by default, it is a 5-mode scroll-through: high, medium, low, SOS, strobe; with a two second memory. This would be fine too.

Sorry, I am mostly just thinking out loud as I impatiently wait for this light.
