Looking for suggestions on which bulb to try in my MagCharger.
Setups I've tried thus far:
Stock bulb on 6 x AA Eneloop. - Love the performance and throw. Would like longer runtimes and keen to what you can get beyond the stock bulb.
Stock bulb on 2 x LifePo4 - Nice and a good all round setup and step up from stock MC performance using the original NiCd or Nimh 6v pack. But less bright than the 6AA Eneloops (only 6.4v vs 7.2v I guess...)
Phillips 5761 on 6 x AA Eneloop - Was ok but very short run times
Phillips 5761 on 2 x LifePo4 - Nicer than I thought it would be. Less throw than the stock bulb but quite a bit more lumen output.
Thinking I'd quite like to try 2 x Li-ion next. But reading on here the stock bulb insta flashes at 8.3v, so 8.4v static voltage of 2xLi-ion sounds like a no no. I also read that the 5761 won't like 2S either.
Any suggestions?
