About that table...

The reason I ask is that it's the kind of thing I selfishly need to understand the bigger 9V picture with available options...

Unfortunately, the Excel table couldn't be converted into the proper HTML code (or whatever WIKI uses). Each cell must be pasted in by hand.

Well, I just tried running the G&P X-12 head on one of TranquilityBase's 3 x 18650 tubes. With 3 Pila 600P batteries, with a total voltage of 12.5V, it hot flashed the lamp immediately. At 12.5V, not all of my batteries were even fully charged. I believe that its safe to say that the 12V setup cannot effectively be run from any of the Pila setups when approaching anything close to a full charge. I may be tempted to use my Shultze charger to get to 12.00V and see if it still flashes, when I get some more bulbs.

I wonder when G&P's 14V lamp assembly will be available. I found it on one Asian site and posted the link, but I can't recall where I saw it or posted it. It appears that Wolf Eyes will beat G&P, with its announced 13V lamp assembly.

A nice 14V lamp assembly would be fantastic. That should do the trick for 3 protected rechargeables of decent capacity. Could you post more info when you find it to this thread?

Interesting thread. I like the look of the mini turbohead and would like to fit it on my SF 9P. Am I right in thinking it will not accept the p91 LA or any G&P incandescent lamp in the region of 200 lumens ? Finally would the tailcap from the X9 fit my 9P and is it a clickie ?

Neither Digilight nor its dealer network has the 12V lamp assembly without the head. But as I've written above, it shouldn't matter anymore; get the 12V range extender head. If you don't know which "facts" to trust, buy the 9V range extender head and a 12V small lamp assembly; then unscrew the 12V lamp from the small reflector and use it in the large one.

FYI my recently purchased Digilight 12VHP lamp does NOT screw into the RX-12V reflector. The bulb itself is just a hair to large to fit the current hole. Even if it did fit, the springs are considerably shorter on the standard lamps compared to the RX-12V. HTH.
