So I've read the old JS thread from many years ago about using an MN-15 in an m6. Unfortunately i don’t have an MN-15(lost an eBay listing, been a long time forgot about snipers.) But, I was playing around and switching heads. The sea cucumber lookalike contest winner M6 with the Z46 was fun, and wow the MN-10 bulb looked good. But what I was surprised about was the MN-20 on a Single stack of CR123s on the M3. Also i had always assumed the M3T looked awkward, but I was wrong. It’s pretty nice.
Anyway, the MN-20 looked pretty good even though it was getting less voltage than is recommended. I only tried for a few seconds and the cells were fresh, so who knows how they’d suffer after several minutes, but overall I was impressed. Albeit my MN-20 is the purple base version, so it’s apparently a bit overdriven in the M6 compared to the later model, and may work a bit better on the lower operating voltage.
The MN-20 puts out 430 lumens on fresh cells in the M6. And only drops to 390 in the M3T.
