So you want to mod your Maglite?

[cobrajet69]

No gangbang... If you want CJ, Im going to order stuff...I'll order your parts on order. I dont want to do a real group buy because shipping isnt much on most of this stuff. It is not worth meeting up with 10 people to save $4



put me down for a laser...


David...if you want me to order the parts for you too...let me know. You are on my side of town

That will work for me Tim.
Thanks man.

CJ, if you have a broken spare Mag you want to get rid of, let me know. I don't have one to use yet.

Just a FYI my guy at work will do the heatsinks for $10 each and I know Tim is got the first one. He is just going to be using the left over stock that I provided him to work with. I think he can squeez at least 5 maybe 6 more out of what stock I have left. As far as the stock is concerned I am donating it to the cause. If more are needed the stock is $10 per 1' and each foot of stock will make about 10 heatsinks. The advantage to the heatsinks that I have designed is that the driver is mounted to the heatsink and therefore gets cooled as well.

Can you post the specs on the heat sink so we can just make it ourselves?

[Bassics]

You know, for the longer maglights, I'm sure you could fashon a cylinder out of metal that would accomodate the battery length. And with a little work you might get the longer versions to handle the same supply in parallel, pretty much doubling your runtime. You could even make them hollow, fill with lead shot, and then the issue of beating someone with your maglight would not not only be resolved, but the deadblow effect of loose shot and greater mass would probably make the task that much more satisfying. I don't know how many times I have blinded thugs with my laser only to have my weak-kneed maglight bounce off their skull. It is embarassing to say the least.

I like the way you think...
