Hi Everyone,
Been away for a while chasing other obsessions but I've got that itch again. I think I'm going to upgrade my CR123-based lights to use AW's protected Li-ions.
Can you folks help w/ a sanity check of sorts? Make sure I remember all of this correctly?
Light 1 - SL Scorpion - switch to 17670 and Strion bulbs. Is it worth it? How will runtime and brightness compare to stock bulb & 2x123?
Light 2 - Custom Gen 1 KL1 w/ 900ma buck/boost and "U" bin Lux 3 on a 2x123 body - drop in a 17670 - seems like a no brainer.
Light 3 - Mag 2C, hotlips, DB 750 with Lux V and 3x123 adapter. Not sure if AW's "C" cells are worth it in this application? Maybe I should stick with 17670's to keep my batteries somewhat standard, runtime is not a real concern with this light...
Light 4 - SL TL-2 Xenon - switch to 2x17500. Any runtime issues? Any extensions that will allow 2x17670?
Light 5 - Plain old Surefire G2. Are there any xenon bulb assemblies that will work in a G2 with one 17670?
Thanks!!
Jon
