    Simple guide to using a DMM for measurements

    Brightest g4 bulb?

    I'm not FM (and would not try to pretend to know anywhere near as much as him). I do have Hikari bulb in m*g with FM MOP reflector driven by 16 eneloops in FM holder. Hot spot is 1.5 to 2 x the size of mag85 in same reflector, but will out throw mag85, and puts out easily more lumens than 2...

Based on picture in post 156 of Lux's destructive bulb test thread, it looks very similar to Hikari bulb. Also made in China. Fortunately for me, the 4-5 I have all...

    Sold/Expired WTB +1500 lumen torch

    I believe Borealis is 3D in size (a Mag85). If you are really ok with 4D in size, you can make what I have for less than your budget: 1. quad bore 4D mag - about 90 dollars 2. borofloat lense - about 7 dollars 3. Fivemega bipin adapter - about 17 dollars 4. Fivemega reflector (with cam) -...
