    Introducing "Draco" - - - PART 2

    Modamag, Received my light, #21. I am absolutely stunned by the fantastic performance and quality. It's replacing my Firefly 2 on my keychain, and I love my Firefly. I love the turning action - very smooth. After using the two-stage spring switch on the Firefly, it's so refreshing to have a...

    Re: === Draco Payment === Ok, this time in the right thread: Paid in full, spreadsheet looks good, address in Paypal. I'm moving to a new house at the end of November. If the shipping date gets fairly close to that, let me know and I'll give you my new address. Thanks

    "Introducing "Draco" [Accepting Deposit].

    Re: Introducing "Draco" That sounds awesome. I'm in for the U-bin LuxIII and the uPIC. CroMAGnet: somehow I got put in spot 72 - I'd like to have 21 (see post #344) since it is open. Thanks - I appreciate all your hard work.

    "Introducing "Draco" [Accepting Deposit].

    Re: Introducing "Draco" I'm still in for an Aluminum version. (Serial #112 - I don't care about the serial number for the light, although if 21 does open up I'd love to have it) A few questions: 1. What are the current levels for the uPIC? (I'm hoping lo and hi will be equal to the standard...

    "Introducing "Draco" [Accepting Deposit].

    Re: Introducing "Draco" I'm interested - Aluminum, lanyard, non-turbo Still wondering about price, brightness, flood/spot. I'm also wondering about battery availability and how they will be charged.

    What would you consider the ultimate flashlight?

    Well, if anyone wants my total fantasy light: Small - about 2/3 the length of Arc AAA with same width. Variable focus - from pure flood to pinpoint laser; however this could decrease the ease-of-use - when coupled with the variable brightness, it would need two places of rotation, though I...

    MagCharger60/85 questions and usefulness

    I second everything sjackal said, and I would like to add something to question 2): Don't forget that a MC85 setup needs a higher voltage than MC60. Most people solve this by using 9 AA batteries in holders. This obviously complicates the charging setup, but a simple charger mod can alleviate...

    What is the max current I can expect from -

    [ QUOTE ] wtraymond said: I'm guessing that I'll get ~700ma max out of a AA Li-ion. Will a R123 provide more current than the Li-ion AA or just more capacity? Would the BB750 config do a better job than the BB1000 since the max current is only ~700 anyway? [/ QUOTE ] An AA battery is...

    What is the max current I can expect from -

    I can tell you right now that a single AA NiMH/NiCD/Alkaline/Lithium will not run a NexGen BadBoy, especially at a high current such as 750 or 1000mA. I also want to make clear the difference between an AA Lithium and an AA Li-ion. Energizer makes some Lithium AA batteries that run at 1.7V and...

    MM and NG with R123/RCR2

    I'm pretty sure NG's are not designed to protect against over-discharge. There may be a de facto protection since the converter will not light up below a certain voltage, but by that point you've probably already partially damaged the cells. The trick is to just pay attention and regularly...

    MM and NG with R123/RCR2

    Ray, Let me first say that the three emitters you listed above all have the same capability (for better or worse) to run safely off a Li-ion cell. That is, they are all J binned Vf. The tint (the X1, XO, and WO parts) don't affect the voltage characteristics. That being said, when attached to...
