Dude, your camera is a living dinossaur. The last time I saw one like that I was still in college... Every manufacturer in the world is using Li-Ion. Li-Ion is just superior, there is no excuses.
Don't blame me, buddy. Your bulb died because it was a bad bulb that would have died on CR123s as well. The A2s regulator do not overdrive the incan lamp, it alway send the correct voltage/current to the lamp assembly, no matter how do you feed it... I have been using my A2s on RCR123 cells for...
This dude's been here for 8 years bitching and whining forever about SureFire like a big cry baby. "Whaaa, SureFires are overpriced, whaaaa, they are outdated, whaaaa I want them so bad but I can't afford them!!".
That's simple. The LED forum is full of easily-impressed noobs (at least 80% of the traffic in there) who just got into this hobby (they are like: " cot dayum, this new bluish-light sure looks futuristic, so it must be better). And the rest are geeks and nerds obsessing over new "hot" toys of...

Yeah, I know that. But you can get those runtimes if you use C or D li-ion cells... But I was trying to keep the size under traditional Mags. D cells to me are not practical for hiking.
