***QUESTIONS***

tomthebaker said:
I love these bulbs with 26650x3, = 11.1v
What is the output with 9x1.2v eneloop = 10.8v?
will they have a longer life at 10.8v?
what about 12*1.2v = 14.4v. Different bulb? Which one?

Obviously, output will be less with 9AA but longer bulb life.
Best set up with AAs is 10AA but will flash on 12AA
Please note that this bulb needs about 5.5 Amps of current which is maximum for Eneloops.
For any other higher current setup, you will need to use high current AA cells or different chemistry.
For 12 Eneloops, brightest bulb I experienced is Osram 64611
To use 100 watt Osram 64623, 12 high current AAs will work but 13AA (if you can accommodate) is even brighter.
Please note that all above statements are based on direct drive and average system resistance.

I know you say this bulb is designed around 3xIMR at 11.1V. But how would longevity be with 4xIFR with 14.4V fresh off the charger and a 12.8V plateau? Would I want to let the cells rest after charging? And would 12.8V have a VERY adverse effect on longevity? The cells are A123 Systems 26650s. So voltage sag will be minimal at 5.5A.

I don't recommend more than 11.5 volts to bulb pins.
You may have 12 or 12.8 volts at battery terminal under load but 11 volts at bulb terminals which is OK but anything more than 11.5 volts may (or may not) flash the bulb.
Again, this bulb designed for maximum of 11.5 volt and can't handle much overdrive.
Let's take it this way: At 11.5 volts it's already overdriven to maximum voltage that it can handle.
----------------------------

Colonel Sanders said:
So if using a JimmyM hotwire regulator with a slow start, I should have it set no higher than 11.5v or might there be a little voltage loss before hitting the bulb?

According to this test, you can see that there is not much room for over-overdriving. Maybe few tenths of volt with very slow ramp up voltage to bulb pins.

dbleznak said:
Is an AW soft-start switch required to use the 1909?

No. It's not required but won't hurt to use.
----------------------------

dbleznak said:
Do you think 3 x IMR 16340s is ok?

Please read maximum continuous current draw of IMR16340 here, then you tell me.
----------------------------

dbleznak said:
How about 4x123s primaries ?

5.5 Amps on primary 123 is not acceptable.
----------------------------

tobrien said:
for future reference, is the G4 a bi-pin bulb that'd work in your Surefire M6 bi-pin adapter?

fivemega said:
Simply insert a G4 bi pin bulb such as Welch Allyn on this socket which matches your battery voltage and use it as MN lamp assembly.

----------------------------

tobrien said:
FM, I have an FM1909 bulb coming my way from CPFMP. That being said, I also have a "Black Edition" PhD M6 with the highest voltage setting on it being 10.8v.

That 10.8v setting is acceptable for the FM1909 bulb, correct? I don't want to risk flashing the bulb is why I ask.

Thanks man!

FM1909 will be slightly underdriven but will be bright enough.
My main concern is high drain from your Li-Cobalt 17670 cells.

for a pack of 4 FM1909.

Been looking forward to these for a long time. Thank you very much for making these available again, FM!

Bimmerboy · Jan 5, 2014

Hi, FM. Just realized I'd better ask if my post saying "Mr. Bimmerfire" caused any confusion, and delayed shipping. Couldn't resist because I get a kick out of the fake names you use in the sales threads.

I put the correct name in the paypal if it's any help. Thanks!

Colonel Sanders · Feb 6, 2014

Colonel Sanders sent $136 for 2 packs of 3 FM1909 bulbs!

So if using a JimmyM hotwire regulator with a slow start, I should have it set no higher than 11.5v or might there be a little voltage loss before hitting the bulb? Just trying to make sure I get the most out of this bulb. Thanks!

Bimmerboy · Feb 6, 2014

I might be able to help with this one (thanks again, DIWdiver for jostling my memory and making me go actually read Jimmy's thread again). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

With the regulator, the bulb will see full pack voltage (minus resistance losses) averaged down to a "lower voltage" using PWM. Since Vbat delivered to the bulb will be higher than spec, losses are pretty much factored out of the equation. Therefore, set your Vbulb to whatever you want using LuxLuthor's 1909 chart provided by FM above. You might be able to get away pretty well with a little extra overdrive, especially if you're using the "slow start" option on the regulator.

Happy hotwiring!

KiwiMark · Feb 6, 2014

Hmmm, I do love my Mag 3D with 3 x 32650 cells, AW soft start driver, FM Bi-focal reflector, UCL lens and FM-1909 bulb - such a nice flashlight with really nice output.
I suppose I should get some spare batteries while I can.
So it is $68 for 4 bulbs + $4 for overseas shipping = US$72

Paypal sent! :paypal:

onibi · Feb 7, 2014

I like all the high or low incandescent bulbs.
2 pack order was placed.
Paypal sent

william lafferty · Feb 10, 2014

I'll take#16 set of 4 FM1909 (AVAILABLE). Paypal incoming for 68.00.

Thanks,

Bill
