Ok, I've been trying to find a light with a wider beam and longer runtime than a Surefire G2 for a few weeks now, but it has been a tough challenge. The G3 seemed like a good idea at first, but is really brighter than I need and doesn't last any longer. I'm still looking at 4xAA based solutions, but so far nothing really stands out yet.
So here's my latest idea: I just read about these 3.7v D26 bulbs from Lumens Factory and it inspired me to wonder if you could run something like a Surefire G3 on two 17500 cells (or similar) in parallel rather than series for an extended runtime at 3.7 volts?
If that's possible, then I would just need to know which 3.7v bulb would give me a beam somewhere between a P60 and a P90?
Does this make sense?
