does anyone knows how these lights compare in brightness (with regard to both lumen and throw):

- M2 with P60
- M2 with P61
- E2e non-LOLA
- PT Surge
- SL-4AA with SL-3C bulb + NIMH (I think this idea came from alan)

I would say the M2 P61 has the most output and throw.

SL-4AA with SL-3C bulb + NIMH (I think this idea came from alan)

Is this possible?

I think the SL-4 (C cell) has the same bezel and reflector as the SL-3C, but the SL4AA is a lot smaller. An SL4 or SL6 will have the best throw. (Lightsaber style beam)

No experience with the SL-4AA, but as for the others, I would say:

Throw
M2 / P61
Surge
M2 / P60
E2e

Brightness:
M2 / P61
M2 / P60
Surge
E2e

In fairness though, the M2 / P61 is buying that brightness and throw with a lot less runtime than the other 3 lights.
