turbohead for 6PD & 9P question

[276]

I have a turbohead for my 6PD and was wondering if there was a brighter bulb i could put in it like from lumens factory. Same goes for the 9P if theres a lumens factory bulb that will work or could i use and M3 bulb??

With a turbo head you may as well run it on a 9P body, as it kind of ruins the small size and ease of carry of a 6P. With the 9P you have many different lamp and battery options. One of the simplest is the MN15 lamp from the M3T running on two 17500s.

Another is the MN16 lamp, but that will not run reliably on two 17500s as the current draw is a bit high, although you can run it on 3Xcr123s, or alternatively get an A19 and use 2x 17670s.

cool thanks, cant you also put like an mn15 or an mn61 in an M6 for longer runtime

The MN15 can go in an M6, it is overdriven but survives, and runs about 2.5 hours.

The MN16 will probably insta-flash in the M6, too much voltage would get to the bulb on startup.
