What can I get with 2 C or even D cells?

[back40]

I need more light!

I currently have 2 of the Lowes TF 60x lights. I want even more throw and brightness!

I can live with 2 C or even 2 D cells NiMH as a power plant, and I need a minimum of 60 minute run times.

What are my options? I want to stay away from Li-Ion at this time.

Thanks!

Modifications? More specifically, a Maglite 2C or 2D Seoul P4 mod.

There aren't many 2 C or D Cell lights with the newer LEDs.

Li-ion are actually pretty safe. If you use protected batteries, the chances of over charging(over 4.2v) and over discharging(under 2.7v) is much much lower. The main thing you have to watch out for is a damaged unprotected battery. You can over discharge a Li-ion battery with no problem, just don't charge that cell and you would be fine.

Actually the TF2C or the Advance Auto Parts 2C modded with the Q5 from Dealextreme would be even better thrower as well as brighter.

you may want to check out elektrolumens' latest offerings. He likes to offer something in that kind of battery form factor.

for example, he keeps a modded angelux in production (if you like the molle 90-deg angled design, that is) which I believe has a 2xD formfactor and uses a CREE XRE LED. It apparently remains popular.

What about using 3 C cells NIMH with the Streamlight Propoly 3 C and getting a lot of full throw for about 6 or 7 hours and after that having lower light for several more hours?
