Hi guys,
After much anticipation I got my Tads Customs G4 bi pin PR adaptor for my Maglites; it came with Philips 7387 and 7388 bulbs, one each.
I've been running my Mags with the Maglite Magnum Star II xenon bulbs in the ceramic adaptor they come with; these are the collars that I have available.
The 7388 does not fit all the way through the collar, and I broke a piece of it off trying to confirm that was the problem. It's the bottom, flat part of the bulb with the leads in it, not the globe. I tried multiple collars and the bulb was too big for all them. The 7387 does fit through, so I'm going to be using it for the time being.
Is this normal? If so, what do y'all do about it? Is there a collar that I could buy that is big enough for these larger bulbs?
Thanks in advance,
Grijon
