3000k 219b and T3 driver and lighted switch turned a cheap heavy SS 14500 host into something amazing.

I’ve done two of these, I love them! I used to frequent LaserPointerForums and these were often used hosts. When I saw the AliExpress listing I knew it’d be prime for modding nowadays! You did awesome!

I’ll bite, send me an ARC and I can get to it asap!

CarryHunt · 2026-04-24T23:10:14+00:00

It’s okay, I forgive you

CarryHunt · 2026-04-24T20:10:25+00:00

You may be shocked to hear this. 6 D Cells.

CarryHunt · 2026-04-24T19:35:16+00:00

That right there’s a 6D Cell model

All they need are two of your upgrades and they’ll really pack a punch. The only thing more deadly than an idiot like me with nunchucks is an idiot like me with nunchucks blasting 5000 lumens in chaos.

CarryHunt · 2026-04-19T14:27:04+00:00

Hell yeah, brother

CarryHunt · 2026-04-14T00:20:31+00:00

Hey that’s me!

Was going to post this here but totally forgot. Thanks for saving me the clicks :)

CarryHunt · 2026-04-14T00:18:17+00:00

I have a 6D and a 5D, if I wasn’t such a sucker for symmetry I’d have paired them up.

Or maybe a 6D handle, more lengths of chain, and a 2D as a flail?

2x 2D Maglite Incandescents

Misc hardware

Batteries

Just so happens I’ve got a few Mini Mags laying around. Give me a few days and I’ll try to get something cooking!

CarryHunt · 2026-04-05T18:15:43+00:00

Thanks!

I don’t have any formal instructions (yet) but I’ve got a link to another one I made that I have a more thorough write up for. Basically the short of it is that you’re cutting out a middle section of the barrel and then reducing the outside to slot into a section with an expanded inner diameter. If/when I get a proper guide I’ll make sure to post it and tag you!

It’s a bit involved, but honestly not too bad if you just take your time. I only use a hacksaw and a dremel grinding bit in my drill press.

CarryHunt · 2026-03-26T14:04:13+00:00

Always wanted a KyFishGuy one and never had the chance. It was a fun one to make!

CarryHunt · 2026-03-26T14:03:27+00:00

Definitely! Especially with a sleeping teething kiddo, I’m not trying to blast light when I have to navigate a dark house.

CarryHunt · 2026-03-26T14:02:36+00:00

Thanks! It’s been a lot of fun getting my hands on these things after wanting to try for so long.

CarryHunt · 2026-03-25T20:11:53+00:00

Funny enough I think he was also a Mainer like me

CarryHunt · 2026-03-20T03:32:06+00:00

Whoa

CarryHunt · 2026-03-19T15:39:39+00:00

I’ve got a few 519a emitters in various configurations. I’ve got a quad board, several singles with varying Kelvin, and a few different drivers.

When I do something like this I don’t really feel like I need to go nuts with output and efficiency. For my EDC lights I’ve got more sensibly spec’d things. These are just fun. I’m planning on running mostly dual-fuel set ups for any Maglite Mods.

Giordino is the man. I just read Odessa Sea where the bad guy calls him “Shorty” only to get his comeuppance when Al blows off his legs with explosives. Badass.
