So you want to mod your Maglite?

Lol, how the hell do you look at stuff to melt it? I shined it on a napkin about a foot an a half away from me and thought I went blind, lol. Not really, but I still think I can see that spot. Damn me for trying to burn stuff, lol.

yea ive involuntarily blinded myself plenty.
wear good sunglasses and dont look directly at it.

[slowyellow]

heck yea, it's pretty insane. it's like you just stuck a big blue stick out into the sky.
also, melting stuff is fun. i just wish it was more deadly.

Just got my laser from inline. Thing is crazy bright. Should be fun at night. I just have to be careful due to my close proximity to, I believe the largest fighter jet base in the country. I could be wrong but it's pretty damn big, lol.

sorry guys, apparently I stepped away too long. Let me check my drawer, I know I have at least 3 2 cells I believe. Hows this buy going? Apparently I missed my opportunity to group up with you Tim.

Sorry CJ.. I did already order. Most of the shipping is cheap anyways...you only would ahve saved a couple bucks.

i just picked up 2 lasers from inline this morning... these things are bad ass. cant wait for my mag lights

[inline 6]

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

I can it is just that the guy who is making them for everyone else has the drawing right now. I will be more than happy to share that with you. I remember some of the dimensions off the top of my head but not all of them and not the critical ones. I should get the drawing back soon.

Since the issue of maglight beating factor was brought up, I just had to design a solution around the opportunity.

You could also use the hollow cylinders to house a small led flashlight and a set of extra batteries, just in case you really needed a damn flashlight and all you could find in the dark was this super throw down fry-their-eyes-and-beat-them-into submission maglight.

[Chas_svo]

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...
