So from a fellow CPF user, running a WA1185 @ 12.5 +/- volts in a 3 cell light without mods to tailcap springs etc should not need a soft start setup in the light but the bulb is @ its max rating before flashing. My idea is the JC5033 @ either a wimpy 12.5v which gives it roughly 650lumens or hit it with more cells like 4 li-ions @ 4.2v each giving me almost 2000lm BUT also not killing the life of the bulb and still having lots or room "voltage choices"...Opinions?

I could even do 25V with 6 li ions but not there yet on which bulb handles that, thats for later :)
