Solarforce L1200 brighter Ultrafire WF-500

[TaranScorp]

I have a Ultrafire WF-500 with a LF 630 lumen bulb and was wondering if the Solarforce L1200 was brighter. I really like the brightness of the WF-500 but have a bug to get something a little brighter in 2x or 3x 18650.

Thanks

Its brighter yes, but also much more unreliable due to a 10.8v bulb being overdriven at 12.5v plus...

But isn't the WF-500 a 2x18650 light?

If you're looking at 3x18650 setup, perhaps it would be better to get a WA1185 or a WA1111 for 2x18650.

Check out DM51's thread on the M6 rechargeable shootout to see outdoor beamshot comparisons.

Isn't the bulb in the solarforce a WA1185? Or almost the same?

The specs might seem similar, but I highly doubt that bulb is a genuine Welch Allyn.

They have a really good picture of a replacement bulb for the SolarForce L1200 at LightHound but I can't figure out if a WA1185 bulb would fit.
