    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I think that bezel is from the press-fit generation, which was a low-water mark for serviceability in that era

    WTB Surefire M6 bulbs.

    I don't think it's far off, it's probably around 500-700 OTF lumens. In fairness I haven't had mine in a while because I instaflashed it off of a set of cells that should have been allowed to rest for longer. At the time I wasn't unhappy with it. I think it draws around 3A in the neighborhood of...

    Sold/Expired Retro Surefire Collection

    Huh, did it seep into the main head of the light? If it did, it should be pretty salvageable as long as the interior reflector surface isn't soaked. Keep the head and battery separate and I can can share my experience with rebuilding these packs if you like. Depending on how long they've gone...

    WTB Surefire M6 bulbs.

    I can attest that the Lumens factory M6-IMR (13V) packs decent oomph relative to the MN21. Rechargeable too. I also think you posted in the MB20 rechargeable options thread so you ought to be aware of the good news regarding cell compatibility with the lamp and magazine.

    AW Multi-Mode Mag Style Soft Start: Set screw size and specifications?

    Update, I got it after far too many tries!:party: Now I just have to hope everything still works when I eventually get it into a host 🤞

    AW Multi-Mode Mag Style Soft Start: Set screw size and specifications?

    Okay, the plot thickens. I tried it with a Mag set screw that I borrowed from a switch assembly. Disappointingly not the same thread/hole size. However, over the course of fiddling with it I noticed a rattle coming from inside the AW assembly. Turns out that the last person to handle it before...

    AW Multi-Mode Mag Style Soft Start: Set screw size and specifications?

    I just received a used one of these in the mail: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/mag-d-incan-driver-soft-start-multi-brightness.177316/ I'm still acquiring a host, but noticed that the original set screw is missing. Does anyone know the original specs for the set screw? I'm planning...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I snagged one just a few years after the launch of the Millennium Series came out and have clung to it ever since. I think mine is actually an L90 with an A12 extender and SRTH that was lovingly pieced together by a barely-perceptively-reluctant-to-sell vendor.

    Protected 16340s for M6 MB20

    I'm really glad about the Xtar 850s though. Sounds like they'll comfortably fit (figuratively and literally) the niche I was hoping the Nitecore NL169s would. Yeah, accidental activations happen. I melted one lens myself on a generic-ish G&P 12V light probably 17-19 years ago now that I think...

    Protected 16340s for M6 MB20

    Oooof about the Lexan. Someone crafty could probably cut and fit a new one for you but I don't know if the KT4 lens generation you have is press-fit or held in with a threaded retainer. I'm kicking myself for not bringing up the lexan lens issue while I was so caught up in the purple MN20 issue...

    Sold/Expired Retro Surefire Collection

    Whoever got this should be aware that they'll need to rebuild the 10X Dominator battery packs sooner rather than later if they don't want NiCd juice seeping into every crevice of the light. The replacements I used are available here...

    Protected 16340s for M6 MB20

    Any chance you're talking about these?: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/%E3%80%90new-product%E3%80%91xtar-16340-850mah-2-5a-battery.484910/ Or are they so new that nobody has been able to even order a set yet? Also, batteryspace got back to me and told me they don't have a clue...

    Protected 16340s for M6 MB20

    Oh, wow that's even better news than I expected, thanks for pulling that up! That would've exceeded a 2C rate limit per cell for any protected 550 to 650 mAh cell that was available back in the day when the IMR series was originally designed. Maybe it won't be a problem with the newer generation...

    Protected 16340s for M6 MB20

    I've emailed Lumens Factory to try to find out. It sounds like they're swamped with a large order until the 30th of this month so it may be two weeks or so before they get back to me. I'm cultivating the naive hope that it's current draw will fall within the continuous discharge range of ≤4 amps...
