surefire incan batteries

[latestarter]

Firstly,sorry if this has been asked 1000000 before.I did several searches but the more i read the more confused i became.my uncle left me his g2 nitrolon which is fitted with a p60 6v lamp.Its a great liitle light,but uses batteries very quickly.what [if any] are the recommended rechargables for this light.Two 3v are what i would have thought,but did read somewhere they arnt suitable.Thanks for any help.
Cheers David

You can use 1x17670 and a 3.7v lamp such as the Lumens Factory HO-4 or EO-4 or go with 2x16340's and use a 9v lamp such as the LF SR-9 or HO-9. You won't be able to use any 6v lamps without under or over driving them depending on how many cells you use (a fully charged Li-ion is 4.2v, not 3.7).

Check out this guide for more info:

The p60 won't work with rechargeables reliably. But you can however get bulbs that will work with rechargeables batteries, if you screw open the head you'll find a lamb assemply in there which is called a D26 sized assembly(26mm in width so D26).

You have an option of running a 3.7V D26 LA like the ones here:

Using 1X 17670 battery:

Or you can run a 9V D26 LA:

Using 2X RCR123 batteries

Although if you want to run the EO-9 you need to use IMR16340s.

Another option is P90 (G3) factory bulb. G3 brightness in a G2 size.

If the incan P60 is hogging up batteries you can also get a P60L for about $20 on CPFMP and it will give you a longer running time than the P60. Some will say the Nitrolon is not a good heat sink, but will be fine if you use your light is short bursts and not for an extended time.
