I was measuring voltage across the pins of a WA1160 in my SL-60 modded Streamlight SL-35, when I saw a spark and the light went dead.:shakehead After swapping out a components I realized that I had, somehow, managed to short out my almost brand new Streamlight dimmer/flasher tailcap
So, I mourned the loss of my "smart" tailcap, and continued the testing with my old "dumb" model.
On the bright side, I am only showing a difference of 0.92 volts difference between Vbat and Vbulb. On the downside, I "stole" the now defunct dimmer/flasher off ebay for $9 shipped . . . a new one will run me $30 or so.
