Well after stumbling across these forums I went out yesterday and purchased a 3D maglite and stuffed 4C's and an XPR103 in it. I must say that it was amazing :rock: . So today on my lunch break I went out to pick up a 2D and tried the same routine with it but it just flashed the bulbs. I went to a 3cell xenon bulb in it for now but that is disappointing to say the least.
Now for my real question.... I would like to mod both of these lights to get as much performance out of them as possible while staying on alkalines(if this is going to be a bottleneck for performance I can go nimh) . I can trade off some brightness for run time. My budget would be $50 for each lite without batteries if I happen to go nimh.
Thanks for the great information here and now a new hobby :buddies: . My wife will not be as happy about it though :thinking: .
