The MN60 is a 225Lu/60min lamp for four SF123A batteries.
It is not a 12V lamp.

It would appear that the LiIon batteries can not povide the power (grunt) that the MN60 requires to really shine?

thought its a 12volter? i mean 4 surefire batteries provide 12v but only for a short while...
The pilas are coming out around 12.3v - 12.6v to feed the lamp. pila batteries can handle high current thats why i am wondering weather the bulb is drawing more power than needed... Any possible theory is welcomed

BTW ran my 3 pilas flat out and the voltage for the cell nearest to the tailcap (negative facing tailcap) is at 3.7v. The middle at 3.6v and the one nearest to the bulb is cutted off at 3.4v
