    I just requested the (free) 2003 SureFire catalog from the SF website. Does anyone know if they are very good about sending them out? Seems I remember folks on CPF talking about it a while back...but I don't recall what the verdict was. Thanks! Brian

    I just bought a UKE Mini Q40 and it takes 4 AA batteries. It comes with standard alkaline batteries. I'm wondering if I can use 4 Lithium AA batteries instead? Would this damage the light or the bulb? I saw a thread on CPF re: lithium batteries and the PT Surge. Apparently the lithiums will...

    need help locating bulb!!!

    Something Ridiculous, You stated "If it's an 8AA body that's running with a 9.8V lamp, then it has to be a nominal 12V, the AA's dropping under load to 9.8V. (??)" I'm not very technically advanced yet. I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please explain? Thanks for the help, Brian
