    Anodizing

    I dont know the head, ... ... when the electrical connection inside the head also goes on the "flat" part, like inside a typical end cap, it should be enough to just do a short sandpaper swipe at the top of the body, not even touching the delicate threads, which are perfectly safe with their...

    Maglite Mini AA Tail Threads

    The (original) minimag bulb holder is a 2 part click together "thing", iirc. That does not look like. Also a minimag without the markings around the head? ?? As to aftermarket parts: with the switch to the led model(s), Maglite did change threads and such. Maybe Your parts are built for the...

    What is the purpose of UV flashlights?

    Ahhh, its all in the wavelength... I have a cheapo "1 W" UV insert in one of my 18650 hosts, that barely lights up anything more than white paper, while the 3 5mm led of the aftermarket led ring of the A2 brightly Show the whole picture of hidden color. ... dunno if I wanted to know/see it ;)

    Looking for a 21700 body that uses P60 size LED drop in

    both of my cells are flat top and unprotected (and work in both host lights) I can push it into the KdLitker body at least 4 mm, so would guess any protected cell should fit ... ❓

    Electrolysis?

    Warm - - > cold - - > warm - - > cold. Hot air gun + water Lately I got the screws of a broken axle of a coworkers bike unscrewed with that method.

    Looking for a 21700 body that uses P60 size LED drop in

    doh, the more I think about it, the more I get unhappy. :( And do not forget: that is not the cheapo chinese "clone" of anything, as the fanboys like to state all the time, that is a highly regarded (and well expensive) custom label product. that head is even worse as my initial thoughts...

    Looking for a 21700 body that uses P60 size LED drop in

    oookay, You asked for it ... ;) in the early days of white led, we had to build our own lights - because there simply was no maker to give us good lights. (then somewhen Fenix stomped the market with their L1P / L2P, wow that was great) in 2004 I built my 1st 6P 18650 conversion. Back then...
