It already is. It's in the Threads of Interest sticky - it's been there for quite a long time (I think I put it there ~2 years ago).
It's excellent to see rikvee back here to update it. Many thanks for your work!

I'm looking for the MN20 in this list, but can't find it. Did I miss it somehow? It runs just fine off 2x18650, I think.
There are some nomenclature problems with the list. The MN20 and MN21 are at the end of the '2 CR123 -6.4V' section.
In future, you could also have used the Ctrl+F on your keyboard or look under "Edit" in your browser and look for a 'search this page' function! But sometimes, I myself forget to use it!

The P61 pulls well over 2 amps from 2 fresh SF CR123A. Can those cells if well matched safely provide such high current draw?

wow, remembered my password and everything.... haven't been around CPF for 5 years,
actually more like 10 years even.....
I wonder, is there still an interest in incandescent bulbs in 2016?

may hang around a bit longer then, bathe in the warm glow.....
10 years later, memory still intact: check.
The traffic probably aint what it used to be. But threads like this are a boon to those who do travel through.
The incan section is like a library. Nice n quiet with plenty of friendly chit-chat by friendly, helpful folks....and kinda like a time machine,
where those other sections are like "box store multi media centers". Noisey.
Thanks to all who've contributed, past present and future.

I have very much appreciated this thread's necro-bump! First of all, I am at a pre-school level when it comes to understanding draw and amps (even though I am a relatively long-time member), and secondly, when I joined this forum about the time this thread first started, I didn't have much of an interest in modding mags, and didn't pay a lot of attention to the incan side of things. Nor have I ever paid any attention to this thread as a sticky (mea culpa). I have fairly recently started getting interested more in fairly convenient hotwire mods (now that so many great bulbs have been long discontinued), and this thread is extremely informative. I cut-and-pasted several postings from this thread and a linked CPF thread into a word document.
Thanks to rikvee for presenting it to a new audience. Nice to have you back on board!

Couldn't have said it better myself friend!!!
So true, wish I would have thought of it myself... Damn good analogy!
Holy Cow!
I just realized you were the one who started this 12 years ago.
Yours and the others efforts are still being utilized.
Recently a new member enquired about getting about 150 lumens from a 3aa Brinkmann. Of course I sought out this thread.
Luckily FiveMega stepped in before I said anything proving my incan ignorance.
Again thanks for this thread.
