Incan linger special?

[UberLumens]

Has anyone tried to build an incandescent linger special?

(linger special is 2 xpg leds right next to each other in a drop-in, Nailbender makes them for those who don't mess with led's)

For flood style beam, i understand it would be an ugly whitewall hunter.

And for fun, if you could what two incan bulbs would you use to do so

P91 is plenty bright and quite floody (not 2 bulbs in 1 reflector though).

Cheers,

Fivemega is probably capable of making a side-by-side T1.5 module using a reflector bored for T4, but whereas LEDs don't scale, incans do. Only reason I've seen two side-by-side bulbs is in a dive light with in-place-switchover for either brightness switching, or the ability to kick over to the backup if a bulb burns out at 300 feet below.

It is absolutely possible to make 2 bulb/single reflector similar to 9AX but only one bulb will be in focal point while second one is far off.
It is allways more practical, economical and better performace to make single bulb/single reflector that 2 bulb/2 reflector system. Assuming wattage of first system equal to total wattage of 2 bulbs in second system. Also assuming reflector diameter of first system is equal to total diameter of both reflectors in second system.
Another problem is current draw. Let's say 2 ROP HO is in your mind. Current draw of one ROP HO is already too much for 6 Eneloops.
Current draw of 2 ROP HO (total of 50 watts) will be about 8.4 Amps which is too high for switch for reliable practical flashlight.
Next problem is floody beam of 2 small reflectors while you get descent throw from single large reflector.
However, it is still possible to make 2bulb/2 reflector system combined in one head but how many people willing to pay for such a complicated build?

Thanks for the input Varooj. I guess i need to think this over some more before moving forward.

It exists, but as a medical examination light. Berchtold D300. Not really portable.
