Hi all,
I ordered a Streamlight Scorpion and read for 2 nights in this forum. There's still a couple of questions though. I don't have much money, so often blowing bulbs and buying 123a-cells is a no-no.
1) Will the Strion bulb (w/ 17670) be more reliable and last longer than the Scorpion bulb with 123a cells?
2) Will it be brighter than a vanilla Scorpion? I don't need it brighter...
3) I read somewhere here that the Strion bulb runs hotter and can damage the lens and reflector of the Scorpion. Any truth to this? Does anyone run this mod for a while without problems?
4) I read about batteries on lighthound.com. Do i understand it correctly that unprotected 17670 can give you 4.2V, but protected only give 3.7V?
That's it for now. I hope that some of the experts here can help me bring some light into the matter.
Thx,
jj
PS: Excuse my poor english, i'm not a native speaker and i've got the flu... :duh2:
