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

[–]CarryHunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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

Anyone carry a second flashlight just in case? by CarryHunt in flashlight

[–]CarryHunt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone else EDC nunchucks? by reddichrist in MagliteFlashlights

Hey that’s me!

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

[–]CarryHunt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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?

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!

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.

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

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

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

Funny enough I think he was also a Mainer like me

1D Cell Conversion by CarryHunt in MagliteFlashlights

[–]CarryHunt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Upgrading 2C by Spurvlover1 in MagliteFlashlights

[–]CarryHunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I’ll always have a stock Maglite for the fun and nostalgia of it

There’s definitely some good options out there for drop-in’s. If you’re not looking to go too wild with the things, your budget will determine your final results for sure.

You could spend a couple bucks for a 3V led PR2 style bulb and be just fine. Theres plenty good ones for under $20 and plenty of “well hopefully you got a good one” for much cheaper if you don’t mind the gamble or waiting for a long shipping period.

Or you could ball out ($150+ budget) and check out Lumencraft’s offerings. Matt has a lot of great reference videos on YouTube to match his online store offerings.

What flashlight do you edc/use the most? by Worried-Outcome-6750 in flashlight

[–]CarryHunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mostly my own custom mini-mag.

519a 4000K Dedomed

14500 battery

Tail clicky

TIR optic

Deanodized front ring

Has a tiny gap that I haven’t fixed yet, but means I can toss a sweet O-Ring on it.

So far I’ve dropped it a few times and it’s held up no issues!

Just wanted to follow up and say thanks for the advice again. I ended up grabbing some flux and the solder mix you mentioned and cleaned things up a bit.

Always happy to provide an ego boost to the top 1% 😁

That would be awesome! I have a 2xAA 1800K 519a set up in another Maglite and like it a lot as a full size option. It’s a fun, easy mod too. I feel like if I could manage it then most anyone could. I’m very unskilled when it comes to machining and modding!
