Seconded. A simple, lightly textured aluminium reflector would make that light perfect. Id get two.
What is missing?
- Thread starter fivemega
- Start date
This is a couple years ago, but any plans on an ml25it aluminum reflector? My first one is getting bubbly and matte
I do have some ML25IT size (1.5") or 36mm LOP aluminum reflectors but not exactly made for ML25IT . If anyone wants to try please PM me.
Hope someone takes you up on that, and reports back.
What do you mean? A light that looks like a mini mag? The scorpion bulb even reliably available anymore?
Or that. Streamlight sells the bulb on their parts page, Streamlight dealers in US/CA stock it, and it is commonly on Egay.
Why not to go with single 3.7V rechargeable cell and Strion bulb?
Strion bulb is 3.7V @ 1.7A = 6.29W
Scorpion bulb is 5V @ 1.2A = 6W
BTW, Scorpion, TL-2 and NF use exact same bulb.

Presumably because he specialized in making incandescent lights. He’s a machinist, not an electronics guy. I image there’s no margins for led lights when competing with China. And hardly anyone cares about incans anymore. I don’t imagine the stock he has left sells very often
Yes. And you’re extremely rare. He can’t make money off that
That I see totally different,
have You ever gotten any of his host bodies?
They are/were mainly 18350/18500/18650 (+ very few special sizes, + some Maglite "conversions"),
so why not do the same in 21700 ?
If it did pay in the height of the Mag conversions, and later at the 18650 boom, why not now?
There has not yet been a good 21700 P60 host ...

The one from Kay domain is pretty good. But that being said why? A P60 host makes a bad LED light. Unless you’re looking for a new incandescent?That I see totally different,

I miss the days when I could stop at True Value and buy a bulb, Maglite that was incan, or battery for a flashlight. Or go futher down the road to 7-11 and get some Energizers or Duracells. Or go to IGA and buy 9 Cat batteries or an Eveready flashlight that were incan and some incan bulbs of various sizes. Or go to Surefire and get a Fulton that was incan or a Maglite that was also incan but probably not a Surefire flashlight. Nevermind if I ventured out to the next town and visited a Radio Shack that had so many different bulbs next to the Coast Led Lensers and Maglites.
I feel like a dinosaur with my krypton bulbs and heavy duty batteries that used to be the good stuff.
Maybe lights should all be p60 hosts so you can choose between LED or incan drop ins along with Lithium or rechargable batteries.
Ya. They were good times. But these are too. Just different.
Nah to the p60 hosts though as per my last post
Fivemega, what about a 2x21700 body that would take a SF Z44 bezel, and a SF Z41 tailcap? It could be used to run a P90/P91, or a D26 Sunlight (with or without your turbohead-fitment), or a KT-1. Preferably black anodized, and with less aggressive texturing than your 2x26650 body. Thanks for considering this!
