    I wish I could give you a good hard number on battery/bulb lifetime Shivan, but I don't use'em as much as I used to. Keeping 5 or 6 of them stashed around the house really cut down on how often I went through bulbs and batteries. Best I can say now is that I haven't seen a significant decrease so far in battery or bulb lifetime.
    Principles matter.

    I agree they're fairly random. I was disappointed it went out with one good knock, but it was only a $30 experiment for two bulbs. I was trying to cheap out instead of going fully into LED heads.

    Well, I am going to try out the 3.7V bulb and battery combo and see how it goes in one of my G2's......

    Excellent product so far.....kit comes in a snazzy black box with charger and lamp.

    It's as bright, or brighter in my G2 as the original P60 bulb with 6V's worth of CR123a...

    Pleased so far. Only long term life span will determine the overall worth to me though. Stay tuned.

    Glad you like it!

    To me, these are no brainer from a financial POV.

    A charger, battery and bulb is $49. The battery will last for 500 charges.

    500 CR123A batts @ 1.00 apiece is $500.

    Grant, in regards to the 6v recharge system I have a question as to how long it takes to get a full charge....will it be an overnight charge or just a couple of hours? Also, how long will a full charge on the battery last me, will it last a full 10 hours on my shift or longer or shorter?

    Charging

    In my experience, the time to charge is short. The initial charge of my 6v was about 2 hours. Since then I have only ran the battery down once. I am very pleased with the product thusfar. I think that I am going to upgrade all of my G2s to this bulb and battery set up.

    Just popped in a Wolf Eyes "Cree" in my wife's "Maxfire" last night

    WOW...much improved throw and flood..nice white spot...no artifacts..

    Nicer light than the factory 'incan' or the 3 Watt Luxeon other drop in I have in other
    Maxfires
