Budget Showerhead drop-in for Mag. Fusion 36, now available in warm.
Hi Folks,
Found this little Fusion 36 led drop-in on ebay after seeing someone on here talking about it a bit. It's for a 2-6 cell C-D maglite.
So, it cost $23 delivered and came in a plain cardboard box with a little bubble-wrap around it.
It's a 36 Nichia led array that simply drops right in to your C-D maglite. Just pull out the reflector and bulb, slot this in and screw the bezel up tight. It's quite chunky and the leds are all placed firmly and uniformly within the module. Surprisingly well made for the price.
Claims 400-600 lumens with a 10k hour lifespan. Operating voltage is 3-9 volts.
Fusion 36 on right, P7 on left.
P7 at three metres.
Fusion 36 at three metres. It's a bit on the blue side.

Well, that's the beam shots updated, I got a new camera. Indoor wall shots, F2.8 1/50sec. Outdoor shots, F2.8 1sec.
Now for some more info.
I ran it for about 15 mins to see how hot it got (both Fusion 36 and P7 run on 8 fresh eneloops). The whole unit weighs in at just over 50 grams and most of it is aluminium so there's plenty to suck away the heat. After 15 mins it was warm to touch. I could hold it firmly in my hands without any discomfort and it felt like it was only a few degrees above body temp, maybe.
It's ALL flood. There's absolutely NO useful light after 50 metres.
Because of this, it is of no use other than to light up a large area within 30 metres, but it does it well.
The light starts almost immediately from almost 180 degrees and graduates brighter the closer to the centre of the beam. It's VERY nice and smooth and is a great light for those who want LOTS of very bright flood that's nice and cheap.
If you've got an old mag lying around doing nothing and want to give it a bit of zing, this will do it. Has to be the best bang for your buck drop-in for a mag available, just don't go expecting great things and you'll be happy.
