As the title says, I have a 6P that I'd like to upgrade and turn into a good working light for the farm. I have an LED Streamlight stinger that does ok, but still leaves a little to be desired, given my intended use. How can I go about getting the most out of my 6P both in brightness and battery life? I have looked into AWs 18650 cells and Malkoff lamps, but upon reading up on them, I now have more questions.
First, I see that 1860s have a higher ma rating, thus longer battery life between charges, right? Second, with the lower output of the 18650, how does that affect the Malkoff lamps, given that a few such as the M61SHO and M91 have input voltages of 5.5-12? And the standard M61 drops out of reg at 3.4. With an 18650, will the M61 drop out of reg early and have a ridiculously long taper, or what?
Basically, what are my options for one of Gene's lamps + AWs 18650s? Thanks in advance!
