Super easy. Installation should take about 1 minute.

Got mine in the mail today! :rock:
Installed it on a 3D and all i have to say is damn! I'll let the beamshot speak for itself... now... all I have to do is scrounge up 4 C's...

The TLE-6EX has a wide but dim spill area. The L1D's is much brighter, so you dont really notice it in the shot. The 3D is focusable though so you can focus or flood to your liking. The 3D in that shot was at narrowest focus.

Can you take a picture with the flood? Also, how much brighter is it then the Mag LED 3D? Are there any rings?tekka0417 said:

Any update on that Ministar-10.
Anyone get one yet, and if so how is it?

How much of a flood? Similar hotspot to the L1Dce? If you go much wider than that there are rings.
I dont know about comparison to the MagLED, as this is my first upgrade for the incan mag.
Found 4 C Nimh's in a boombox... not too sure on the charge levels, but i put them in the charger for 20 mins and all avg 1.3V no load... couldnt wait to charge them fully, so i just stuck them in...

Good question, it would be good to see a side by side between the brightest MagLED and the new TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 U bin LED upgrade. To get a handle on what kind of difference there is!

Someone do a comparison shot between the MagLED and a 4 cell Mag with one of these installed.

MagLED 3D (brightest of the MagLED user replace modules) is said to put out between 35 and 40 lumens. TerraLux P4 is said to put out 150 in 4 cell light. So... lets assume these numbers are right. That means... the TerraLux is about 4 times the output in lumens? Just a crude theoretical guesstimate but that's what I'm thinking... (and believing!)

Cydonia - I think that's over optimistic since the 35-40 lumens is an out the front estimate and the 150 is an at the emitter estimate. In a 4 cell light I'd expect the TerraLUX to be 2X + as bright - and of course not overheating and dropping to 50% output in 10 minutes is a major bonus too.

i think it's no different from changing a bulb; that's the beauty of it

Nice solar eclipse. :laughing:
With all those extra lumens, you can afford to invest in one of fivemega's textured reflectors for a smooth beam.

i can't wait to test mine out in my smooth, MOP, LS, MS and HS reflectors! for hotwire incans, my favourite is the MS from litho

Here's what full flood looks like with fivemega's HS reflector.
(That orange glow to the right is a stock mag on flood and fresh alkalines :laughing: )
