2C FM11 & 3C FM85 Ready To Ship

[therisensun]

Very bright Mag85!

Be carefull hot off the charger, I sent some glass to bulb heaven already

One of the neat things about the Triton is that selecting one of the 3.6v/cell settings terminates the charge at 4.1v/cell. That 0.3v difference should help with the possibility of instaflashing the 1185.

I also understand that charging to 4.1v significantly increases cycle life of the li-ions.

...There must be reduced resistance in this setup...

Fivemega posted earlier that "...FM85 will produce almost same as M*g85 with all resistance fixed."

I assume that would mean similar resistance...

Congratulations on your 1,000th post !!! I'm glad these are selling, as they look nice.

What is the voltage when charged? It seems strange since I have a number of Mag85's being driven by 3 Li-Ion cells (i.e. 3D light with 3P-3S 17500) that don't flash. There must be reduced resistance in this setup...or else you are overcharging those cells?

Alright 1000!

I ballanced them first by single charging them. Put them in the light and played for a while. Then used the charging plug (tight fit) to top them off. unplugged the charging plug, it was kinda dark in the room so hit the button and fried the bulb. This light looks like it has very low resistance do to the design... Nice and light weight for a Mag85, should get an hour from 3c Lith cells!

Also Lips, shouldnt we expect a better discharge curve b/c of the Li-Ion compared with the Ni-mH's???

Long-Live the Hot-Wire! :rock:

 

[tanasit]

Could you post the pics of the new beamshot and the metric socket mentioned?
Thanks,
Tanasit

A little tip on these... I removed the bulb and used a metric sockect to get the bulb filiment to go Parellel with the switch and removed the bezel to center the bulb. The reflector stays put so very easy to adjust bulb to center for perfect beam.

Cheers

[citizenal]

Just got my Fm85 as well.. Beautiful piece of work. Can the FM85 really get 1 hour of runtime? :huh:

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

Got mine! What a wild looking light!

Question, whats the correct way to set up the charging plug? I assume the middle is +, and the outer is (-)......

 

[tanasit]

My #6 FM85 with 1 battery as requested arrived.

:goodjob:

Yes, PSM, that is correct.

 

[Lips]

Yes, PSM, that is correct.

You talking about wiring it up?

Center pin is + (use small wires!)

I think I need to get one of these. I've fried so many different bulbs I could have paid for it already...

 

[starfiretoo]

Got my FM85 today! Bling-Bling. The picture cannot do it justice! If you want an over the top looking light here it is and there are still a few more left. I was one of the ones that straddled the fence looking. Ouch, the price but now that i have one it was worth every penny.

I went with the FM85, just to be sure. is it brighter then the FM11?

for #20 FM85 w/VLOP

darmawaa, check the posts ahead of you when picking a number incase Fivemega hasn`t updated the first post yet. In post #46 ahead of yours, I already sent PayPal for #20 FM 85. I believe picking an available number and using that same number in your PayPal helps Fivemega keep everything in proper order for his own records and for us as well.

Ken
