Hi all,
Up for sale today are a pair of modded 2D maglites I started in April and only recently finished. Both lights are built for use with 8 NIMH AA cells in custom 4s2p battery carriers. Alkaline use is not recommended due to high amp draw.
Both mags sport aluminum heatsinks, quad-bored battery tubes, and FET drivers featuring 4 mode (Low-Med-High-Turbo) STAR firmware with off time memory.
The blue mag is a quad Nichia 219c D320 in 70+ CRI on Noctigon driven to around 20 amps by 8 freshly charged eneloops (cells not included). This light featured smooth S2 reflectors and a borofloat lens. The build techniques for flashlight and battery holder are nearly identical to those described in this thread. I would estimate output at around 3500 lumens with full cells.
The gray mag features an XM-L2 U2 3D emitter on a 31.5mm Maxtoch DTP MCPCB driven to around 8 amps by 8 full but rested eneloops. Output should be in the 1600 lumen range with full cells. I have tested this light extensively with rested eneloops and have had zero issues at seven to eight amps, however, this light should not be run on turbo with cells hot off the charger as emitter damage may result. The heatsink is copper wrapped aluminum rod and I used extra long 22 gauge silicone wires to increase resistance a bit. The use of a rebel reflector and a UCL lens from flashlightlens.com makes this flashlight an excellent thrower.
Beam shots as promised.
First the Quad.
