E1e 3v alternatives

[michaex]

Thanks to a great CPF member, I finally got Tad's e-series adapter and ordered some 3v bulbs immediately.

Test device:

Streamlight 51104, sample #1:

Streamlight 51104, sample #2:

SF MN01:

I think comment is not necessary So far, MN01 for the win.

Anyone has found a good contender for it - to be used with CR123 primary?

Even better: a 3.6V replacement dropin is available from Lumens Factory. Choose between 2 different light outputs, I prefer the 50 Lumens version. But: if you would like to stay at the 3V CR123A, Lumens Factory also has a 3V bulb, delivering 40 Lumens IIRC. All highly recommended, PERFECT beam and tight focus, I've been using them since years!
