MagLite vs The World - Round 1

[bykfixer]

If maglite installed 800-900lm led module into 2c twisty body, and ran it off 18650 in the adapter they are celling now, it would be the best maglite that could compete with modern 18650 lights.

The ML150LRSX is about as close as you'll likely see.

Nothing was close to 2x18650 2"C" M*g with WA1111 bulb back then.
800 Lumens for close to an hour run time.

For LED lovers possible to use 1 "C" M*g with 18650 and proper D26 module.

Here's an old picture from early 2016 (I think) comparing different Mags to one of my Stingers (ican)

The 2C and 3C ML25IT are great little lights...if a bit bizarre as something to introduce in, what, 2016? I was (pleasantly) surprised to see them release any new incandescent products. I'm sure they would have done very well if they had been introduced before LED took over.

Episode 2 now up.

My two biggest lights, one is 90w osram bulb overdriven to 200w, with FM reflector, runs on 5x 18650, or 26650 cells. another is a par 36 landing light from an aircraft. runs on 8x C cells, alkalines. both of these are shelf queens, next to 0 practicality.
