Will do! Hey, if this body & head is the same as a TR1200 then there has to be something out there. That body is common as hell and been out for a while. Even a Maglite gasket might fit!
EDIT: According to a Google search you can get the Mag-lite lens gasket at Advance Auto Parts for less than $1. I'm going to grab one next time I'm out. Reflectors and pills for the TR-1200 fit the Mags so the Mag lens gasket might fit the TR-1200 and TR-3T6.
Thanks, Guys! I removed the lens retaining ring and sure enough, the lens gasket was hiding in the corner. That’s good news to me. I was able to properly tighten the retaining ring and all is nice and snug now. One thing I know I DON’T have is a gasket on the head where the bezel screws in. The groove is there but no o-ring. That’s an important one and I’ll have to find one somewhere.
Well my TR-3T6 came yesterday (manafont) and despite being really good packaged in bubble wrap, cardboard box and bubble envelope it has lot of small nicks and bruises (mainly on head) and finish looks really delicate (far from x8)
On the bright side it works flawlessly, has really nice almost neutral white tint and it's seriously bright
On two fresh hi-max cells it draws around 2.4 A and 1.55 with three cells.
i have the extra extension tubes but i have not been game to try it as they say 12.6v max i dont mind running it for long times, but i worry the extra 4.2v will burn out the driver.
Not sure why would you want to try 4S, there is not much benefit in doing so. Runtime with 3S is already pretty hardcore in low mode (the light is very efficient at those levels while still pouring out prodigious amount of light at say a campfire, more so than 1 single XM-L).
Eg, 420lumens from a single XM-L, 1.2A. But for 3 XM-L it is 495 lumens, for comfortably under 4 watts!
i was not going to mention this but it was brought up in another thread so i thought ill repost it here.
my wife and i have tested the TR-3T6 and the TR-1200 against my car head lights the TR-1200 will come close to the throw my car head lights but not enough spill to drive comfortable but the TR-3T6 does the job nice, even with the car,s high beams on you can still see the hot spot of the TR-3T6.
my car's high beams are 55 watt + 100 watt left and 55 watt + 60 watt right
my car's low beam is 55 watt left and 55 watt right
just incase any one is wondering i run an extra 40 watt of the left with my car high beams it helps light up the left side of the road to spot kangaroo's and in australia we drive on the left if some of our internation friend,s didnt know.
ive never mentioned this before as i though people would think i was crazy or being dangours but its good for a laugh and it shows it can be done in an emergency as i have had a thermal fuse blow in my car before and i could out run my head lights in my car for a few seconds at a time before they cut out, but if i had my TR-3T6 back then i could of easily driven home safely.
you can buy spare driver if needed but you should not need it Triple T6 Cree Circuit Board Driver you can use the cail cap switch, bezel, glass lense, o-rings and extention tube from the TR-1200 if you damage the light externaly
but i would get the 3 X 18650 its claimed it has 0.5 amp higher regulation and it gives you longer run time and more options, you can run the light for 60 min's no worries
