Greetings all! I am setting up my first hotwire and I wish your input / opinion on this, plus info on the more finer points I am missing…
So….
- I do not want to go to a 9xAA setup
- I will be using a 4AA charger and do not wish to go to the trouble of a specialized "on the adapter" charging. So I can handle a lesser complicated adapter like the mdocod's one.
- I am partial to the 2D mag format I believe I cannot have it a 8AA adapter without boring out.
- A 8AA hotwire leaves you with a WA1185 (standard specs) or the too overdriven WA1164 (too small a bulb life) choices.
The 6AA format is partial to me since I have more bulb options ( Pelican 3854-H, Philips 5761, WA1111, WA1274 ?) * And because I can have a spare TL-1F module in the taicap
So all you comments suggestions are welcome, Kostas
* hmm more questions on the 3854 (seems to be a li-ion driven hotwire) and the 1274 which I have no info of other that a hot rating spreadsheet by another member)
