Oh thats good to know. Thanks for the info. For my purposes, the beam is a little bright for a one level light anyway. So, this just might be perfect for me.
Well, I tried the 6p with two rcr123a batteries and as soon as I turned it on it burnt out a p61 lamp. Then, I put a p60 in it and the same thing happened. Any idea why? I thought they were the same voltage as cr123a
Rechargeable RCR123A is nominally 3.7 volt while primary CR123A is nominally 3 volt battery. Keep in mind they are different animal with different voltage.Well, I tried the 6p with two rcr123a batteries and as soon as I turned it on it burnt out a p61 lamp.

Assuming your 6P is bored out to use 18mm cells, install a single rechargeable protected 18650 and this bulb which is rated at 3.7 volt.Oh, I thought they were both the same voltage. Whoops! That will do it. I'm going to need to find some incan lamps that can handle the RCRs because Im tired of buying primaries for EDC lights.
Anyone know if there are any incan P60 style lamps that are more floody or have a bigger hot spot? Not sure if this is possible. But, I prefer floody lamps and a floodier incan would be perfect.
The P61 would be it, as it has a longer tungsten filament (and 50% more output), but it burns through batteries twice as quick! You could also glaze the lens of the flashlight.
Glazing the lens might be a good way to go for me, as I would like the run 18650s and would like longer run times than the p61. Any idea how I would go about doing that?
Will the 6p run on 18650s (assuming its bored) with the original incandescent p60 lamp? Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?
The last time I was on the site Flashlightlens offered frosted lenses. Others have posted about film to adhere to a regular lens to frost/diffuse the light beam.Glazing the lens might be a good way to go for me, as I would like the run 18650s and would like longer run times than the p61.
