Seemed to be some renewed interest on the incan front.. Still mighty pleasing to the eyes just like this thread.

Loved that M6 rechargeable thread, had be yearn and get my own M6, FM adapter and WA1185!

Then I went a step further...

To this day I keep an FM bi-pin with a WA1185 in a KT4 head on a 3x18650 HA body with ready cells for duty in the yard.

Such a sweet sweet incan!

have not seen this in awhile.

I have a P61 lamp for the Surefire Z2 of mine and I dropped an Orbtronic 16650 into it, and while it's dimmer than using two CR123A's, it is almost as bright as a P60 lamp with CR123A's, but with a modified spectrum, fluoresses on certain metals, and since you're under-volting the lamp, it doesn't get anywhere near as hot and lasts longer. I think. Orbtronic only ships protected 16650s. I use a XTAR VC2SL (latest USB Type-C input) for charging, which Orbtronic sells as well.

Option 1- To use rechargeable cells 2P 18650 will work little better because pair of parallel 18650 cells will keep the voltage higher than single 16650 and will run 3 times longer.

Option 2- You can also use same above host for 2P/2S rechargeable 123A batteries (total of 4 batteries). This option will give you normal operation voltage.

Option 3- Another option is 4AA body if you can find one. This option will give you slight over voltage.
