Hi all

Among all my lights, one of my favorites is a Gerber TX 3.0. However, I noticed the brightness quickly drops after using fresh alkalines or rechargeables straight off the charger.

I was wondering if anyone has experimented with driving the light a little more, like with... oh say, 4 cells of 2/3AA's or something along that line???

i think these are Direct Drive.. adding a buck/boost converter like the Wiz2 from the shoppe would be you best bet.. then you can use lithiums! :D dont use lithiums now the increase voltage may kill the luxeon without a converter...
