So, instead of hijacking another thread, I figured I would start a new one specifically to answer my questions and possible get other ideas.
Ok, here goes:
What I have:
Streamlight TL-2
Surefire 6P body bored for 18650 (looking for bezel & tail cap to complete)
Surefire G2
Now, basically, I want to stick with those. BUT, I want to run rechargeables in them. What to do?
I read mdocod long thread about Lithium batteries & set ups. But I am trying to see if there is something else out there that wasn't included?
Now, I don't want to go to a higher output drop in, because I am using it indoors & don't want to blind people , but don't want to spend money on primaries that just last an hour each time.
Also, if I run an 18650 in the 6P & they run at 3.7, will the P60 seem yellow, b/c it is not being driven at 6V like it is when using primaries? What about using 1 RCR123 that runs at 3.7V and a dummy 123? What kind of outputs would be generated & run times?
What about possible P60 incandescent drop ins that run at lower lumens? Do those exist, making it possible for it to be driven by perhaps an 18650, or a RCR123 at 3.7V?
Open to all ideas, but would like to stick with the bodies I already have.
Any questions or clarification needed, ask away.
Thanks.
