Also see my new 'Mini Green Kit' here: (Stainless Stees C3 Host)
FS: Mini Green Kit! SCHWEET!

Here's my Mini Mag Green Kit!

This first post is a tutorial for the easy assembly. Here are the links to the O-like modules that this kit is designed for:

50mW: http://o-like.com/index.php?main_pag...products_id=18
100mW: http://o-like.com/index.php?main_pag...products_id=16
150mW: http://o-like.com/index.php?main_pag...products_id=17

This kit includes:

* Mini Mag Host
* Push button tail cap (Terra Lux)
* Sleeve (for module)
* Custom front piece
* The 'host' will be drilled at the front to fit your module, and have a set screw as well! (see pictures)

All you will need is a module (very easy to solder a small wire to bypass the switch - see picture below), a battery, and a 1.5mm Allen wrench for the set screw.

The Kit will be $65 dollars plus shipping...

Shipping and handling - $6

Shipping: Out of U.S. buyer assumes responsibility at that price. It should not be a problem though... (I would mark the package as a gift, with a description of 'LED Flashlight' with a low value of $15)

Here's the picture tutorial:

Mini Mag's have such a nice finish! I think it's about time to have some nice modifications for these!

You want to modify your existing Mini Mag? If you would like to send me your Mini Mag center section to drill out the front and put a set screw in it for this green mod, I can do that for you, plus make the custom front piece and module sleeve that you will need for this green modification.

For this option, I would charge $40 dollars plus $6 dollars return shipping...

Tail Switch:

I have tried both the Terra Lux tail cap, as well as the Nite Ize brand, and I like the Terra Lux much better...

The Terra Lux switch requires more pressure to 'click' it on or off. Nice smooth finish too!

Put it about 4mm out the front and it will be perfect...

Eku · 05-24-2009, 02:35 AM

Wait a secound....

that battery is 4.2V that means your giving the modules 1.2V too much right?

jayrob · 05-24-2009, 02:43 AM

Yeah... but most people run them on a rechargeable battery. It seems fine, as long as you use a 1 minute duty cycle.

Especially with the 100mW modules do you want a little more supply. But I've seen some who even use the 3.6 volt RCR123 batteries for the 5 to 10mW O-like modules!

So this battery supply should be fine for the 50/100/150mW modules...
Jay

Swordofsalvation · 05-24-2009, 02:43 AM

no, 4.2 fully charged, with no load. it will actually be around 3.9 volts max that your giving the module, and it has a driver which should be able to take that little extra voltage.
btw, great job jayrob

Eku · 05-24-2009, 02:48 AM

Oh cool!

jayrob · 05-24-2009, 04:04 AM

Sword...

Bakawun, your Mini Mag Green kit and other items will ship Monday!

Hope you like it!

Eku · 05-24-2009, 04:40 AM

Hahaha sold one already huh? XD

jake royston · 05-24-2009, 04:44 AM

How much would it cost for you to mod my mini maglite I send you

jake royston · 05-24-2009, 04:48 AM

Does it include the batt and diode

jake royston · 05-24-2009, 04:50 AM

I think 45 is a little much tho I don't have that much to spend

jayrob · 05-24-2009, 04:58 AM

Well, at least I gave you a free tutorial to see how to do the modification in a very clean and stable build...

Maybe it will give you some ideas on how you might build other designs.

Just PM me if and when you want to do it.

I also want to make sure you have the same light...
Jay

jake royston · 05-24-2009, 06:09 AM

Same lite that's in your picture it doesn't have the pill thingy cuz It broke or the lense

jayrob · 05-24-2009, 07:20 AM

The 4 'key' parts you must have are shown in my first picture...

* Push button tail cap
* Barrel
* Head
* Head Retaining Ring (reflector retaining ring)

The push button tail cap is an upgrade item, and is essential for this build.

Ways · 05-24-2009, 03:05 PM

Very nice Jayrob, i have often wished for a maglite laser host (proper host... replacing the bulb with a laser diode ala kipkay does not qualify in my book! although i did try this and destroyed 2 perfectly good red diodes in the process, DOH!)

I will be ordering one as soon as i can get my wife to release funding

Darkarmyofone · 05-24-2009, 04:23 PM

mos def! been waitin for someone to make them greenies easier to work with, low and behold! Jayrob to the rescue!

Excelent tuorial as always.

whats the INNER (around the threads) diameter of your tailcaps Jay? a buddy of mine has an entire box of them... if they are the right size, im sure he'd let that damn box go on the cheap. hate looking at it anyways.

jake royston · 05-24-2009, 05:42 PM

so are you providing the tailcap or do i have to buy it

jayrob · 05-24-2009, 11:43 PM

Ways, Darkarmyofone, thanks for the props!

Darkarm... the tail caps are fit for the stock Mini Mag.

I just received my Terra Lux tail cap to try out and I must say that I like it much better than the Nite Ize switch.

The Terra Lux switch requires more pressure to 'click' it on or off. Nice smooth finish too!

jake royston, please read the first post...

All of your questions are answered in the first post.

If you are sending me a Mini Mag 'center section' to modify, I can include a tail cap with the heatsink and sleeve for an extra charge. First read the post, get a list of what you need, and them PM me...
Jay

GoRdOn_B · 05-25-2009, 12:38 AM
