Default Newbie lost, Don't know where to ask my question.

This is a big forum (a nice one, too) but as this is my first day on it, I'm not sure where to ask this question so I'll ask it here and maybe someone will be kind enough to point me in the correct direction .....(and maybe even answer it, too)

I know I'm a new guy (first post) but I'm hoping one of you can answer my question. I just purchased the Streamlite Night COM w/ red LEDs....the original one, not the new one with the laser. I have attached it to a tactical shotgun because I liked the idea of being able to choose just how much light I am throwing, i.e. if I have my eyes adjusted to the dark, I have the option of using the LEDs instead of the xenon. I don't want to instantly broadcast my whereabouts to the bad guy if I can help it. BUT I also want to have the option of blinding the bad guy with a really bright light and the +/- 72 lumen xenon isn't going to get that job done. I know that the light has a 4.8 volt 0.9 Amp high pressure xenon bulb that is running off of 2 CR123s. (I think it is a T-1 1/2 but I'm not sure...I have read that it is the same bulb that is in the Streamlite Twin Task.) What I would like to know is what is the brightest bulb I can swap the original one out for that will still fit. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

hello and MBQuimby

Try posting this in the "General Flashlight Discussion" forum, you should get some responses there. The practice forum is for testing purposes (pictures hyperlinks etc.)
