I've poked around and tried searching but wasn't able to find what I'm looking for.
I have a SF Scout Light with the larger incandescent head (LU60?). I've recently been using some of Tactical Night Vision's Q5s in SF G2's which I like. I don't know much about flashlights (I guess enough to create problems). I thought I would add a Q5 to the Scout Light. I figured the setup should work, right? A six volt system that uses a P60 lamp, I didn't think there would be an issue. It didn't work.
I tried two different TNVC Q5 lamps with this setup that are known to work otherwise, a no go. I tried the Q5 using a 6P head (with the adapter on the Scout Light) and nothing. I removed the larger, outer spring on the Q5 and still nothing. I'm at a loss.
I did get occasional light up when the head was just barely screwed on. Literally screwed on something like one full turn after the threads met. This was way to lose to use.
Any ideas? I would really like to use this setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
