Have you wished you trusty old MagLite was a super powered flashlight? Adventure Sport Flashlights makes the brightest Maglites ever with a high tech mod process.
If you thought Maglites weren’t bright anymore what if I told you a guy named Matt from a company called Adventure Sport Flashlights decided to take standard Maglites and make them as bright as possible? You probably never thought a Maglite could pump out nearly 5000 lumens, but this review of Matts awesome Maglites, using his custom Maglite Superbulb will prove Maglits are still the best, or whatever. But if you already have a Maglite, these bulbs will drop right in many current Maglites. So if you’d like to supercharge your Maglite and modify it for Maximum brightness- check out Adventure Sport Flashlights website. Using the coupon code: knifebro6

@RV-ardvark 7 жыл бұрын

I'm impressed. The modified Maglite performed very well. My sentiments mirrored your exactly, regarding Maglite failing to keep up with flashlight technology. The only concern I have with the modified Maglite is the heat dissipation and output reduction. I understand the thermal limitations for output vs. component life, but competitors with dedicated designs can keep the high output levels longer because of heatsinks designed into the flashlight casing. If Adventure Sport Flashlights can dissipate more heat by having a better thermal connection with the Maglite body, it would make a good product great. The throw of the modified Maglite is outstanding, in my opinion. There appeared to be an uniform spread of light in its throw. I prefer a floody light over a spot light for most applications. Thanks for the good review.

@AdvancedKnifeBro 7 жыл бұрын

Well... I have found in all of my testing and all of my reviews- all the big guys have timed or thermal step downs at just a few minutes in. This Maglite performs no worse than say an Acebeam or Olight. It heats up quick... my Acebeam X45 gets almost too hot in 3 minutes. These lights can run with the best... and his drop in modules are a thick chunk of metal. Check out his video at the end. You can also set the thermal regulation to get hotter. Matt said he's let them run for 15 minutes before without issue- but that's too hot to hold. I'd estimate I only let the light get to about 100 degrees before I put in the timer.

Magite did eventually come up with an LED D-maglite, and the led bulbs were dying like flies. Also they gave us that evil T8 torx set screw, so that we have to file down a torx screwdriver. And then the led assembly is proprietary and a different shape from the old one and from all the upgrades.

I do still have it and it works great. It’s not my most used light- but I have seen no quality control issues... and it’s ran for hours at a time. Just remember it’s a very floody dispersed light. Most of my lights that pump out this much have more candela... It’s not for long distances but a lot of light close. I actually use it as a supplemental light I. My videos occasionally because of its floody nature.

At present it has the standard LED upgrade everyone puts in their lights at first which is a pitiful 120 lumen (roughly) and it puts out a fairly crappy dim yellow light. What is the most powerful, reasonably priced LED upgrade I can stick in it where I’ll still be able to use D cells. Any help and amazon/eBay links with where to buy would be greatly appreciated.

@AdvancedKnifeBro 5 жыл бұрын

That's a tough one. I bought an old LED drop in years ago, and it sucked. I know this is a cop out, but if I were you I'd consider keep the old maglite for nostalgia and less for use. The LED upgrade I bought a few years ago was $20, and it was ugly. My advice is to keep it incandescent, and maybe buy something small from the Emisar line, as a main light.

I bought one of the newer LED (168 lumen pleb class) 3D maglites on a sale about a year ago to try out. I will say that the optics do a good job of focusing such a small amount of light into an impressive spot, but they are definitely tragically behind the times. It's a shame, It's the 7th maglite that I own and it definitely has its uses, but a $3 eBay light can just destroy it at everything except bludgeoning.

My question is simple: can you inadvertently shorten the battery's performance if you charge it when it's at let's say 30-40%? Or should you almost fully deplete it (10-20%) before charging?

ASF really hit it out of the park with these. I've been looking for a commercial Mag that was actually decent and not made by the tosswad that is Maglica's stock model industry, because let's face it, the design is CLASSY. Although I wish he'd sent you an option with more balanced flood-to-throw ratio.

@AdvancedKnifeBro 7 жыл бұрын

Honestly... I don't have any floody big lumen lights like the 2D... it really helps to make it useful. Most of my light useage is in my backyard and smaller... and it's perfect for that. It's even, with a nice tint, and has very little of a hotspot. But I agree that maybe he could make a less floody option for people who don't want it. But that said... the 2D is a true flooder. After seeing this beam with the lumens... I can't call my Meteor or X7 flooders anymore.

Far better than those nasty plastic 2D that the government furnished.

I was surprise that the more powerful 2-AA Mag was about 250+ lumens, and there was a lot of brands offering 500+ Lumens under $15. So I decided and try a couple of them. In one of the test it was the Mag vs other with 18650 battery and 500+ lumens. For my surprise at various distance you can see the 500+ was a little bit more intense, but too little to make a difference. I still have a few others, but my go to is the 262 lumens 2-AA MAg

Recently a customer paid to have a solid brass spacer made to fit inside a 6D so he could power it with a pair of 26650s and fill the rest of the tube with brass.. I couldn't even weight that light with my postal scale because it maxed it out LOL. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of a "whack" with that thing LOL!

Hey, so ive welded multiple maglites together. So far it's a 14 d cell light. I can make it longer if needed. Is there anything that can take the power I have available?

2:35 If you didn't mix batteries, you are less likely gonna have Alkaleaks. But still, NiMH, Lithium Primaries and Li-ion cells are the way to go.

@AdvancedKnifeBro 4 жыл бұрын

I didn’t mix batteries. It has happened more often than not with batteries out of the same pack. Yes rechargeables or lithium are the way to go. I agree, which is why most of the lib reviews on this channel are lithium ion powered.

@stoopidhaters 4 жыл бұрын

@@AdvancedKnifeBro Okay, so I'm assuming that 2nd battery you inserted was a spacer? Also, you have to take the batteries out at least every month. Heck, I take mine out everytime I'm not using it.

@AdvancedKnifeBro 4 жыл бұрын

It was just an illustration. They were just 3 batteries I had. Yes there are rules to alkalines. I don’t use them anymore.

The 6D is 178 Lumens which for it's time was amazing. There's also the 6V Halogen used in the older Magcharger (probably rare to find) which does about 200. Seems like the old school MAGLITE modders in 2007 on CPF would overdrive the bulbs (2 Cell Bulb in a 3 Cell MAGLITE) though you'd wanna use the Krypton bulbs and NiMH batteries. Heck, just running the OEM bulb with Lithium Primaries overdrives it. There are also more advanced mods using high wattage Halogen bulbs but you still need the time and money to do so. But LED is more efficient and brighter. I do prefer the Incandescent myself but it lacks punch especially when using Alkalines because the Voltage drops on a constant slope.

i had to trash my old 6 d maglite after corrosion ruined it and the batteries stuck inside. i bought a new 6 d maglite and keep the batteries outside of the flashlight and close by until im ready to use it.
