I love this place. I was able to see some beamshots before buying and found out about rechargable lithiums for a decent power light. Based on the threads I looked at I bought 4 AW 7500 batteries. One set for the tl3 I just ordered and for my Inova t5. I also bought a DSD charger with spacers. Do I need to buy anything else? The threads said they would work with the stock Tl3 bulb, but is that the best choice? Is bulb life affected?

I am grateful for the advice and look forward to seeing it work.

You're good to go. Very few CPFers deviate from the configuration you've described, and when they do, it's to use a Carley 1499 lamp, which brings its own difficulties. Forget I even mentioned it.

OK, I'll bite - what difficulties does the Carley 1499 bring to the TL-3 with
17500 Li-ions other than reduced battery life?

I've just installed one of Litho123's Halogen 1499's in my TL-3, and it seems
to work like a champ! I didn't have any problems swapping the bulb at all. I've
heard about problems with the TL-3 bushing, but the 1499 bulb I used fit
perfectly.

Am I missing anything?
