Hello everyone I bought a "surefire turbo head kt1" and its "SUREFIRE N1" lamp does not work
I have to buy a new lamp and I would like to use the KT1 head with a 9v torch
Can you install a lamp in the KT1 other than the original?
Can you use, for example, the lamps for surefire m3?
For example, the original lamp has the center spring longer than the external one, and is difference for example, M3 lamps because the spring no difference longer
If you can recommend a 9V lamp that is compatible with KT1 head?
A thank you to all those will answer me

Hi Alex74,
Welcome to the forum! I was trying to find out what you are asking last year, and here is what I came up with:

N1 (6 volts nominal) - 65 lumens for 60 minutes on 2xCR123a
N2 (9 volts nominal) - 105 lumens for 60 minutes on 3xCR123a
MN15 (9 volts nominal) - 125 lumens for 60 minutes on 3xCR123a
MN16 (9 volts nominal) - 225 lumens for 20 minutes on 3xCR123a
MN20 (9 volts nominal) - 250 lumens for 60 minutes on 6xCR123a
MN21 (9 volts nominal) - 500 lumens for 20 minutes on 6xCR123a

MN60 (12 volts nominal) - 225 lumens for 60 minutes on 4xCR123a
MN61 (12 volts nominal) - 350 lumens for 20 minutes on 4xCR123a

Fivemega
then added the following information to the thread (and I am copying-and-pasting because I wasn't sure how to "quote" from a different thread):

2xAW18650 protected cells will work for the (LO 60 minutes) 9 volt lamps above.

2xAW18650 protected cells will overdrive the (HO 20 minutes) 9 volt lamps above.

3xAW18650 protected cells will overdrive the (LO 60 minutes) 12 volt lamps above.

3xAW18650 protected cells will severely overdrive the (HO 20 minutes) 12 volt lamps above.

AW 18650 batteries can power up bulbs with current draw of up to 3.4 Amp but other brands may or may not be able to handle the spike.

There is not much more to add from that thread except for Archimede's observation that some of these lamps are getting very scarce indeed.

Hello you think this model is going to work?
Should replace the lamp for m3t and therefore surefire mn15 and should it be compatible right?
