I am surprised the Kaidomain 3.7V is less output than the 9V variant. I believed the two bulbs were rated at the same 12w/15w. So, in theory the 3.7V should have been drawing more current to keep up with the 9V variant. Maybe getting the 7.4V and driving off 2 IMR 16340's in a Surefire 6P is a better choice for me. I wanted ~300 lumens from Incandescent
I’m still running on my 3.7v kaidomain bulb from about 8 years ago. I have 3 backups but never needed them. Probably have at least 30H on mine
I NEED that WF-501A because one of my PROTECTED 18350s died prematurely!
The xeon certainly looks better. But a R9080 219b would be better for that comparison. Preferably a warm one.

Hmm, I think the 7.4V Xenons put out roughly 100 Lumens.
Higher current = More candela.
The 3.7 V bulb draws 2 A. So it’s around 8 W and I measure it at 140 lumens
I got lucky with my first 7.4v. It's actually the reflectors that tend to be hit or miss in terms of filament alignment.
Does anyone know where they sell Smooth reflectors for the P60 Xenon bulbs?
