New to me Streamlight SL 35 rechargeable flashlight. Been wanting one of these "big boys". Found, what I think, is a nice example. Works very well. Found a charger and the dimmer tailcap, NIP, for $0.99. Could not pass that up!
Original battery is pack of 5 full size NiCad D cells but powering up that 30 watt bulb using 5 D size alkaline are murdering the alka cells.Looks like it would fit 5 regular D cells.
You are comparing overdriven ROP and standard driving SL-35 which is not fair comparison.sgt253 said:The brightness is about 90% of my ROP low bulb.
Thanks fellas. Yes, it will fit regular "D" size batteries and run well. The brightness is about 90% of my ROP low bulb. So, rough estimate 400 lumens. The dimmer tailcap works very well. Can dim light from full to barely there as needed. Plus it strobes the light if need be.

Try 6 healthy NiMH "C" size to see difference.
You can also use 6 AA in 2D size barrel.
Another mod is shortened barrel to size of 2-[SIZE=-1]1/2[/SIZE]"D" and powering with pair of IMR26650 :thumbsup:
If you PM me with your request, I might be able to help.Are you still doing Streamlight mods?
