I just got some lamps from lumens factory today and was going through all the usual testing batteries and such to see what combinations were compatible. Fun stuff as always. One of the lamps I bought was the EO6 which is 200 lumens with 6 volts. I have some keeppower 3v rcr123's that have performed really well with a surefire p60; 40 minutes of full output runtime with my testing. I expected a similar thing with the lumens factory eo6, but after less than a minute of being on it drops to about 5 lumens. I tried this twice with fully charged batteries each time. The EO6 works just fine with cr123's or a 16650. What would be the reason the eo6 is not compatible with the 3v rcr's while a p60 works great? I also have surefire 3.2v rcr123's but since surefire doesn't recommend their use with p60's I assume the same practice with the lumens factory lamps of the same voltage.
Also on a side note, I tried the eo6 in a malkoff VME head with a long 880 mah 16340 in an e1 body and got no power. It looks like the battery is too short to make contact with that setup. It does work with an e2 body. Has anyone else had luck with a similar e1 setup?
