+Quoddy Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I use a Petzl MYO5 headlamp. It has the best of both worlds: a variiable 5 LED for wide dispersion, and a narrow halogen thin beam good to 100+ yards. http://www.ems.com/products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442582152&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302849158&fromTemplate=navigation%2Fpromo_subcategory.jsp&bmUID=1066251457353 I also carry an ASP as a backup.

Does it strike anyone as weird (and a little dumb) that Mag doesn't yet have an LED Maglite, and virtually every competitor does? These guys have long been recognized as the leader in high-quality professional flashlights, yet when it comes to LED technology, they've clearly missed the boat! Wonder what they were thinking? Scott -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ) There's a link in a post on page one of this thread to the LED museum site. They have reviews of many products, including a kit to upgrade the mini mag lite to a three led configuration. The only drawbacks are you will lose the ability to focus the beam, and it only works on recent models. There is also a review of a kit for the three D cell mag lite, for converting it to a UV led light. I didn't see any that convert the full size mag lites to white led's.

The results aren't bad, but as you say, no focusing. I simply can't understand Mag's stubbornness about releasing an LED product of their own. BTW, what DOES your geonick mean? It sounds vaguely like something female smugglers might do to get through the airport... Scott -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ) Quote Link to comment
+Bloencustoms Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 It started as a name for a paintball team, then the name of a paintball marker anodizing company that never really took off. You can see some of our anodizing at www.angelfire.com/pro/bloen We actually have anodized a mini maglite, but don't have a picture of it.

+Brian - Team A.I. Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 It appears I 50th the motion for the Inova X5. I love that light. If there's any other light around though, it's pretty ineffective. Brian Team A.I. Quote Link to comment
+niskibum Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Check out this site. Be sure to look at the Surefire section, but try not to drool. 500 lumens (30 times brighter than a normal 2D cell) and shock isolated to withstand the recoil of a large caliber weapon. Nothing like a little overkill! Quote Link to comment
