I have a rechargeable Brinkmann Maxfire that I would like to upgrade a bit. I use this light mounted on a .22 rifle. The output isn't great and run time is worse. :shakehead
I am looking at drop in led units. Throw is more important than flood. I am thinking one with a warmer tint will do a better job of cutting through fog and mist and such. Correct?
For batteries I can fit up to about 115mm in length and maybe up to a seventeen mm (sixteen for sure) diameter cell. Anyone have one of these that can confirm the largest cell it will accept? I was thinking of using a drop in that could run on three cr-123 primaries or a couple of rechargeable cells or even three rcr123s. Is this a good idea or no? Would say a couple of 17500 cells have an advantage over three rcr-123s? I know I will have to use dummy cells with any configuration so that is not an issue.
I guess my question boils down to: What would be your recommendation for a long throwing, good spot, hunting drop in led and good run time battery solution? Thanks for any insight on this issue.
