Hey all, if I have a 6p with two A-19's and a KT1 Turbo head what lamp would you use for the best performance? Also does anyone know how long the batteries will last, and the lamp life using MN60, MN61, and the N62?

MN60 ~225Lu/60min
MN61 350Lu/20min
N62 500Lu/12min

The lamp life for these type of lamps is roughly 20-30 hours depending on the individual lamp, the way you use it, and whether or not you have a spare.

Best performance? The N62 has a gorgeous beam, awesome at range, brilliant white - However, not intended for constant-on use, or general illumination.

I use the MN61 in my 12PMT & M4. I like the beam, the output, and the runtime (ability to maintain a brilliant white beam) is far better then the N62.

Thanks for the info. Will the N62 burn up the head or just the batteries if left on?
