hehe.... actually is just covers rechargable configurations... the only 12V D26 I know of that you could run 4 primaries on is the G&P G120. It's over 200 torch lumens on primaries. pretty good lamp. But you can do a lot with rechargeables. Lots of 9V lamps available that are as bright and brighter than the G120.

From SureFire, you'd need a TurboHead (KT1/KT2) and an N62 (500 lumens / 12 minutes) or MN61 (350 lumens / 20 minutes) lamp assemblythermal guy said:
Thermal Guy, You can use a G&P 12V Lamp Assembly or buy a Cabela's 12V small turbo head. They are 1.7 inches wide and are advertised at 240 lumens. I just ordered one of these yesterday to put on a Leef 4 battery body and I will post on this board how I like it. I think the 4 battery lights are very overlooked on this board. These are my favorites next to my SF M6. A 4 battery light can be put together for about $120 and they are about 225 lumens to my eyes. Compare that to a SF M4.

ugrey... i wasn't sure if the G&P mini-turbo heads were *for-sure* compatible with the surefire C type threads... (in my chart, I only put 1 "+" next to that configuration, cause I wasn't sure about it)... Are you pretty sure this will work?
if it does fit and work, can you toss me a PM so I can update the chart with "confirmed" status for those configurations...
only question left then- is are the threads on the XPG mini-turbos the same as the G&P?

actually you can get a 4 cell ultrafire/superfire complete with 12V G120 lamp for about $20 online.

I would get the sample run (only 20 made) LumensFactory 12V D26 320 Bulb Lumens Xenon Lamp Assembly. I would say that it runs slightly more efficient than a G120 (1.25A vs. 1.38A) and so lasts a little longer (60 min vs. 50 min) and it outputs just slightly more, which is noticed in the larger hotspot, which is maintained at the same intensity as the G120. I own both, and prefer the LumensFactory (www.lumensfactory.com).

G&P stuff can be found at lighthound, dealextreme, kaidomain, qualitychinagoods, and scattered all over ebay.
Cabela's XPG Xenon Extreme Performance Heads:

I have one for my SF D3 and it fits fine. I've read here that replacement bulbs are not available, but considering the Performance Heads price maybe they are not needed.
