what would be your personal recommendations for LED lights that are not custom which can throw the farthest? Thanks for the upload...I love watching your reviews!
you should be glad that dog is a pussy and doesn't just sneak up on you and rip your balls out of their sack! dogsare supposed to bark at light shows and lots of other things you dumbass, deal with it. now, back to the real world.. fantastic mods to your maglite we all wish we had one!
@mattamiller This is a really common mod, go to Candlepowerforums and search "aspheric maglite" and you can find lots of good information and links on were to get all the stuff.
Hey! this is a great build! How did you make it? I've been wanting to make something like this but never knew how to go about it or what I'd need exactly for the project
@jeepzillajoe The new Thrunite XML Catapult V2 Looks like a crazy powerful throwing light. I think it would be more useful than this bc of good side spill
I got the Led Lenser P7, nice lamp with 200 lumens, its a little brighter than the fenix here, but my maglite I upgraded to 700 lumens with Terralux TLE 300-M EX LED module, throws the light about 270-280 yards (200-250 meters), but my best tourch is my Solarforce, 30W halogen, 1200 lumens, throws the light about 750 yards(800 meters)...
@alfonso2501 This lens was designed for cameras and was discovered to fit in a maglite head. I'm sure if you did your research you could find one that would fit the head. it will not work with incandescent bulbs though
@NaxTactical I have done research and some experimenting with lights of similar size. I've found you can't get much better throw than a regular reflector. So far, large maglite size aspheric lenses are the way to go.
what would you recommend the best thing for either a 3 cell mag or 4 cell mag upgrade would be , i dont want to change anything but the bulb and maybe the lens but i want to use regular c cell batteries, as long as the upgrade gives me very long throw and no doughnut hole, i would appreciate your help
@samstterhamstteer hard to say, the only dropins I would buy come from malkoffdevices. Other than that, you will have to do a build it yourself like I did. If you need help with a build, join candlepowerforums and post your questions. they will bring you to the light.
@hugo2x allrght allright..what about a reflector ?would you recommend one that can just get rid of the doughnut hole thats what im really worried about that damn donut hole
@samstterhamstteer if you want to go with something in the 600+ lumen range, I would use a SST-50. this will likely eliminate the donut hole caused by the quad core p7 and MC-E's central dark spot. With smaller LEDs like XR-E's and XP-G's its hard to say what will happen. Truthfully you'll have to do a bit of research on Candlepower forums for a good combination.
@gunwiz1 you can get it via DX, not sure about the diameter, maybe 58mm? If you want a more precise information I can send you the direct link to the item
i would like to build my own "monster flash light" since iam not willing to buy a $100 flashlight. How about an "How to" that shows how to build a flashlight like this one on your own ;)
Not bad but with that size flashlight you can do better its good for battery life with 250 but 500 can be done with a MC-E any plans for upgrade of the led.
cool.. most of my maglites suck, bad perfomance and durability.. I had 4-5 of them.. only my twist switch maglites didnt break.. new 3d maglites fail me with in a year or 2... I have owned lots of cheap brands that last longer..
What about this Aurora AK-P7-2 SSC P7 2-Mode 900 Lumen LED Flashlight (1 x 18650) from

That PD20-flashlight does NOT give 180 lumens. (looks more like 110)
Your MagLite conversion lights up nice though. Looks like 350-400 lumens maybe.

@hugo2x The DereeLight DBS has an SST-50 pill now, and it fits into the DBS's optional aspheric head.
x2x3x2 1 year ago
@1234567890goddammit
A R2 LED with a asperical lens will throw better than a SST-50 that the M31 uses, because of the surface brightness.
M31 is a VERY good reflector thrower, but if you will have a asperical on it, it would be a custom build.
