Maglite Dimensions Thread for modders

I thought I would start a thread for Maglite dimensions in case someone wants to know if "X fits in Y"

All I have to start with is a 2D Incan and a 2AA Incan. ALL Measurements are in MM.

2D Incan: Overall Length with head screwed down 253mm

Tail cap

· Length 23.6mm

· OD 39.38mm

· Spring Seat ID 32.10mm

· Small ID 28.84mm

Body

· OD 39.96mm

· Length 213mm

· ID 34.16mm ID of the useable battery area

· Depth to switch 122mm Depth from where the tail cap threads end, up to the switch (battery compartment depth)

· Depth from top to switch 41.7mm From the top of the body down to the switch (useable heat sink area)

Head

· Length With Bezel 60mm

· OD 34.16mm

· ID at reflector seat 50.05mm

· ID down to thread step 48.32mm

· Depth from top to threads 18.75 Depth inside from top of head to threaded area

Reflector

· OD 52.25mm

· Hole Size for bulb 14mm

· Depth to bulb hole 23.95mm Depth from the top to the bulb hole, not counting the lower cam section at all.

Lens OD 52.2mm

2AA Maglite Overall Length 146.2mm

Tail cap

· Length 19.21mm

· OD 18.05mm

· Spring seat ID 9.88mm

· Minor ID 7.9mm

Body

· Length 120.6mm

· OD 18.00mm

· ID 14.5 ID of the useable battery area

· Depth of Battery area 120.0mm This is measured with the bulb holder removed, so the depth is from the end of the tail cap threads all the way to the top lip of the body where the bulb holder would have been. Full inside length.

· ID of top lip 10.44mm

Head

· Length With Bezel 42.55mm

· OD 25.53mm

· ID at reflector taper 20.53 There is a taper right at the top of the head where the reflector sits and that is the measurement I am trying to give.

· ID down to threads 18.71mm

· Depth to threads from top 11.15mm Depth from the top of the head to the start of the threaded area inside the head.

Reflector

· OD 22.0mm

· Height 21.17mm

· ID of Bulb hole 3.3mm

Lens OD 22.7mm

I am hoping this will prove useful if wanting to mod a Maglite. I know I don’t remember the dimensions and I have to either guess at it or go buy one just to measure it.

I am also hoping that some others will get in here and add dimensions to the newer LED Maglites, or any I don’t have here. My budget does not allow for buying them unless they go on sale for a low price and I happen to catch the sale.
