@Richie, so that means it does 110kcd because 1.1*10^2=110. Nice.
Thank you Scaru. I guess I need to brush up on this more. I’ve gotten so used to these high power multi-emitter lights I have that throw huge walls of light, this is the first one I really have that would be considered a thrower. So it isn’t designed to emit a great deal of spill so I figured that reading was poor. Thanks for clarifying this for me.
110kcd for $50 bucks sounds nice, but the battery need to be modded into li-ion though.
110KLux with this Setup……wow!
Which 19.5cm reflector do you mean?
Hi Bibihang,
Although this gold one still uses the lead acid battery, the other one I already upgraded to Redilast 18650 3100mAh cells and works great. You may have missed my post on it here:
Double wow!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Hi Richie!
Yeah actually I did see your mod already, but I don’t know how did you charge your cells without taking the cells out everytime when you want to recharge it? Do you fix a charging board inside?
Hi Bibihang, at this point I have the light dismantled in order to try upgrading it with a more powerful driver which will also require additional cooling. So I haven’t had a chance to figure out a better way to recharge the 18650 cells while still in the light. As soon as I make some headway, I’ll be sure to post about it. 
110k cd is quite nice for 50 bucks! I believe the LX1010B reads a wee bit more optimistic, we can safely put it as 100k cd. 
It could have been driven better as you can see from both the pure spill + ceiling bounce with the light meter, the difference is unmistakable (though you said you measured 3A + at the LED, not sure what happened there). If you do mod it, i think 150k cd is doable.
I think i’ll pull the trigger and get that 19.5cm diameter light, and see what happens. 71 bucks shipped to here in SG.
Andi, whatever you end up trying, please take a few interior shots so we can see the install. I’m really into giving my mtg2 LED a try in this reflector to see how the beam is. I’m still working on a few ideas to deal with the extra heat involved using a 3.5a driver and the mtg2. I’ll keep you all posted as I progress with it.
WOW nice tight beam! Is this like a best budget thrower but a really huge one?
Well, it’s a well made light and throws well, but moderately driven. So heat it’s a problem and the lead acid 4v battery is 7500mAh, so you get very long run times. One of mine I’m in the process of upgrading the XML to an MT-G2, and a more powerful driver. It’s going to take a while to get all the parts. But when complete, I’ll post about it.
I noticed they’ve sold 9 of these lights since I’ve posted about it. Has anyone from this forum purchased one and received it?
Mine don´t pass the customs. :_(
Sorry to hear that. I’d like to know why they refused it. Maybe they thought it had Li-ion cells in it or that an X-ray showed it had the battery installed.
Man, I hate hearing about stories like that! |( … and it isnt my package. I hope this works out for you Andi.
Problem was the implemented battery…no Manual/Type of battery, Signs, and so on.
Thx for your condolence.
I just noticed this light last night and instantly thought MG-T2. How is your MG-T2 mod going?
I ordered one from this vendor. $30 and maybe includes another flashlight with it. Don’t know the vendor, but decided to risk it.
EDIT: Looking at the 8the picture in the bottom section, it appears that the pill/reflector design may have changed.
