Can someone please rank the different kinds of bulbs for me (Krypton, xenon, Mag white star, Mag Krypton etc) by brightness?

In an unmodified 6 cell Maglite brightness ranking should be dimmest to brightest like this:
Mag OEM
Mag Kypton WhiteStar
RS KPR118
Mag Xenon Man-Num Star.
Brightness can be subjective. The WhiteStar focuses tighter than the RS KPR118.
When over-driven, the rankings change and some bulbs become unviable.
Specially designed fill gas lamps like litho123's CA1499 can achieve some surprisingly good results.
