What I'd like to do is slap the bi-pin Xenon bulb from a 6D Maglite into my 2D Maglite, and run it on 2 D cell lithium thionyl chloride batteries. From the specs I'm seeing the big limitation on the lithium batteries is that they are limited to 200-230mA continuous draw and 400mA pulse. I can't find any info on the actual amperage of the 6D Xenon bulb. Will ~230mA fall far short? A little bit short? The other options as I see it are to run lithium thionyl chloride AAs in parallel groups of 3 (giving 7.2V and ~300mA), or to run a different number of a different type of AA in series, like 4x Energizer L91 in series.

-Just for fun mostly, looking for a 6D incandescent bulb in a 2D package with a long shelf life.
