I basically took a 3D Maglite and wanted to put in an MR-16. I had to cut the lamp assembly away from the switch and solder wires onto the positive and negative ends of the switch. These ends were soldered to an MR-16 socket. Nothing is securing the socket, but the MR-16 is stable because it fits exactly in the head of the Maglite. This is a pretty inexpensive mod that yields great brightness. Why look for a reflector? This ones got a great faceted reflector built in!
 This
is a beam shot up a wall. Right side of the screen is up the wall in our
comm room. It doesn't really mean much, but it was bright. The far right
of the screen is about 6 feet up the wall. |
 This
is a shot of our Meridian from about 18 feet away. |
 The
lamp and socket. |
 The
homemade 123 holder. |
 Just
drop it all in. |
 Much
prettier reflector than the one in the Maglite. |
 The
final product. Hmm... Looks just like a 3D Maglite! |
