Saint Incand's Day - July 12, 2009

[stienke]

I was in my basement this morning and looked to the Maglite's I have stored , some used and some new in the box , different colors and D/C cell , all standard factory lights.
At this moment I count 26 Mag's and I still love the form factor , a piece of history!
So let's save the Incan's!

I've been enjoying an older E2e with twisty z52 tail cap and 17650 body this week. I have it loaded with a lumens factory HO-E1r and IMR 17650 cell. This combination is my favorite pocketable Incan setup. Over an hour runtime, and more than enough lumens for EDC tasks (and not too bright, like the EO-E1r). It's very similar to the mn02 lamp, but slightly whiter and larger hotspot.

It won't be too many more years and people will be coming down the pipeline who won't know what an Incandescent flashlight is. That makes them worth having.

Coming up on the 5th Anniversary of Saint Incand's Day this July 12th.

I celebrated it joyfully!

Oh Hey Lux.

Haven't heard much of you lately.

On friday, I scored a nice brand new red Mag 2D for a local shop for a steal. It came in on trade. Guy never took it out the package.

It had one of those new mag towers with the torx screw. Used some armorers tricks to get it out. Basically swaged a piece of soft aluminum into it effectively making a screwdriver.

Then I put the thing together as a Mag11 using 26650 IMR cells and an AW Incan Driver.

I guess that's my Saint Incand's day story.

Damn it!
I was camping on the 12th and forgot it was St Incand's day, I only used LEDs! If I remembered what day it was I would have made a point of using one of my incandescent lights.

Haha, couldn't remember the date, just knew it's in July. I've been rocking an E2e with an extended Outdoorsman pocket clip, Z57 and an MN02 for a couple of weeks now as my main EDC. Probably more out of convenience than anything. Late Happy Incands Day for Saturday!

This past one was a very good one!

Apologies for missing my annual St Incan's Day check-in.

Just checking in for my once-a-year pointless fluff post.

I tested a couple of decorative incandescent bulbs yesterday. Does that count?

I celebrated it thankfully. Thanks for a thread that makes me feel a little less guilty for hoarding incandescent household bulbs for their nice warm glow.

"Celebrated" by using a Surefire 9P (p90 w/2*17500) at work. Most pleasing.

Hmm, I grabbed one of my good incans yesturday for round the house. I guess I just knew what day it was without even thinking about it.

Same here. I have a E2 tube with an E2e head and an MN02 LA in my jacket pocket. Just to warm in Sac to use the jacket...

Walked the dog with my new Magcharger. Not bad for a 33 year old design, though the newer model's E-switch has a nice feel. Comparing it with my original Magcharger, I'm pretty sure the new one has soft-start. Dumb charger is still annoying.

Back in the day, I bet Magchargers made people think something was wrong with their 3D Mags.

 

[more_vampires]

Today my stock incan digital switch final gen Magcharger defeated 15 flashlights before I started drinking beer. Pretty sure it won.

 

[LuxLuthor]

I did celebrate the 6th Annual Saint Incand's Day with a Mag85 and Deep Reflector, all made by FiveMega. Walked the dogs, and all was good with the world.

This thread caused me to dust off a Dorcy.


Cool.

About a month away from the 7th Anniversary. Who would have thought. Still much love for my incands.
