5D MAG PR Overdrive?

Quick question...

The 5D MAG PR lamp will flash from 2x26650 right?

thanks

I tried it with 2 IMR 18650's and it is ok.

I say go for it.

Curious... how is it compared to the 6D-Xenon PR lamp (~130L)? Is it just as bright... while consuming less wattage?

Based on my light box testing, a 5D xenon bulb (2C body and stock reflector/lens) driven by two AW 18650s (4.09v) puts out ~170 lumens and draws 1.01A.

A 6D bulb in the same setup puts out ~127 lumens and draws .93A.

Swapping a FM reflector and borofloat lens, the 5D bulb gets ~238 lumens, so in the stock configuration, quite a bit of light is lost down the open portion of the reflector.
