    Budget Showerhead Mag Drop-in.

    Neither have I. If nicodimus22 is still around, I'm running mine on 7aa with no problems. It's in a 3D, with two 3aa->D adapters, and one 1aa->D adapter. Nice bright and floody.

    Budget "camping ceiling" light?

    You could combine a drop that has a strobe mode with one of those Solarforce lantern heads and have a party in your tent!

    What are some recommended/favorite lights in each of these forms?

    Beam shot comparisons with a frosted lens would be great.

    AA powered or beyond?

    Yeah, the Fusion 36's floodiness is definitely a distinctive. Though the LR2 should already provide enough throw, assuming it's the R2 drop in, so massive flood would be useful for lighting up the whole camp, or the whole hiking group on night trails. Just depends what you need. Different...

    AA powered or beyond?

    The shower head thread is here: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=277748 You have to find it on ebay, and it's $23 shipped. Just search "fusion maglite", and it's the only one listed. Ships from Hong Kong. I'm contemplating getting this for my brother, as it seems like a...

    AA powered or beyond?

    Also, if you want pure lumens for cheap, you should check out the Mag shower head thread in this forum. A $23 drop in that fits in a mag head. Find a Mag 2D for cheap and then throw six AA's in it with two 3AA>D adapters from KD, and you've got super bright for probably the least amount of...

    I like AA's as well, as I already have a good charger and lots of cells. You really are going to have to decide what kind of brightness you're looking for. Saying "brighter" will be a quest that never ends. There's also only so much you can do in the 2AA format right now. You're gonna hit a...

    Best 2xAA with Multiple Modes

    Ordered on the day I posted and both parts arrived today. Pretty fast for HK. I popped in two nimh AA's at 1.33 volts each, and I'm a little underwhelmed. It's supposed to be a R2, as it says on the side, the it's not all that bright at all. Maybe it'll look better at night. But just by...

    Help with first Mag mod.

    Ah, I see. In that case, not sure what kind of heatsinking you could get with that budget, since all I'm aware of is the custom ones made around here. Maybe search the marketplace for the best deal you can get and then go from there?
