It's a 3D Rayovac Sportsman running a potted 1185 with 10AA Sanyo 2500 & 2 Dummy AA's. Brighter than my ROP's but the filament is slightly off-centre.

A big thanks to Raybo for the Potted 1185 and the battery carriers


The Rayovac next to the ROP 2C:

Beamshots at a tree across the road - about 15m away, Rayovac85 left ROP right:

Side by side - Rayovac then ROP:

The Rayovac-85 is noticeably brighter & whiter than the ROP LE, both are using a smooth reflector. In the pics the R-85 had 9 cells hot off the charger but last night I ran it on 10 rested cells, about the same output.
