Probably a 35E cell or a Panasonic 3400 mAh cell, or something similar. This light isn’t about maximum lumens on turbo, it’s more designed for practical daily use. And for that, the highest mAh rating is typically best.
It just needs to be an unprotected cell to make it fit. Flat-top and button-top should both work.
Since you’re in the US, I’d suggest a Mtn triple from MtnElectronics.com. They come with a variety of different emitters already soldered on; just pick your favorite type.
Maukka’s review has very detailed information about the beam pattern, including quantitative graphs of the intensity at different angles.
A submersible candle which, unfortunately, still doesn’t have a good diffuser cone available.
The best fit I’ve found is the Fenix AOD-S, but it’s not great. I’d like something more like the Olight TW1 or TW10… but with the correct diameter to fit this light.
I’m not sure I’m into “candle mode”, but I’ll see what it’s like. “Sunset mode” seems more useful for my purpose
I’ve used both. They both have a self shutoff timer, but sunset mode’s brightness and timing is hardcoded while candle mode’s brightness and timing are configurable. I still need to bring sunset mode up to par, but it hasn’t been a priority.
If I did not want any trace of a rose tint, which emitter of the 3D or 7A would I choose?
and which Carclo would give the MOST flood? 10509?
I think what you’re looking for is LH351D.
Both 3D and 7A have a rosy tint, since they’re both below the BBL. And they’re both meant to be relatively throwy. But LH351D is typically not rosy, and it is much more floody.
As for optics, 10508 and 10509 both look almost the same during use. They’re both very floody.
