Runtime on my Mag 2C mod w/3x123/KPR112

I dont want to run these expensive batteries down just to find out, so...

Has anyone determined the runtime on a 2C Maglite modded with 3x123 batteries and a KPR112 6v bulb? I just built it and the batteries were a little costly. I just ordered some from surefire but until they come, I had to use some from walgreens.

TIA.

Here are some answers...

3x123 KPR112 runtime thread.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm still trying to find out about the bulb options for this mod. I know there's an Ikelite bulb, a G24 from the UK, and the KPR112. The last one blows after short periods of time. Has anyone compared these with regard to bulb survival and output?

Anyway, I run this configuration all the time. Usually, it's for short bursts of 30-60 seconds each. I can't remember the last time I replaced either the cells or bulb. I have never actually performed an official runtime test in this configuration.

My experience is that the GH24 has the best beam and the brightest output. I haven't blown one of these bulbs yet but the batteries get used up quicker. The Maglite Mag-Num Xenon 5-cell bulb is also a good buy.

The GH24 is only available from the UK? Any US distributors?
