Looking to upgrade my Streamlight Twintask 3C

[kyhunter1]

I recently purchased a Streamlight Twintask 3C flashlight. I love the ruggedness and form factor of this light and plan on keeping it in my truck. Are there any other lamps available other than the stock xenon bi pin lamp that comes with this light? I would like to have more output in incan mode. I plan on using primary C alkaline batteries.

Been doing some web surfing since I started the post. I found a site that sells bi pin xenon lamps. I found one that is rated at 4.8v and 1.6a that should fit in my light. With three c cells, my light is 4.5v, so I think it will work. The website also said the lamp should be 168 bulb lumens. If I can get 100+ torch lumens on this one, I will be well pleased.

you want to find a 3.6v bulb for 3 batteries as a 4.8v bulb is for 4 cells and would be dim. Incan bulbs are typically rated at 1.2v/cell.

Thanks, I will have to make sure I order the correct bulb now.

Twintask 3C runs a wee bit brighter/whiter with three Lith AA....

Don't even think to pull 1.6 amp from alkalines. They will sag, get hot quickly and don't perform right.
You can use battery stick of 4xELITE2200 with mentioned bulb or get 3.6 volt bulb and use 3 Eneloop in some spacer.

Where is a good place to buy the 3.6v bulb?

1122 will work fine but they have $50 minimum charge.
