| I have a Scout M600C with KX2C LED and a LU60A with P60 and FM63 Filter. The LU60A with P60 is for night missions. Should I replace the P60 Lamp with the P61 inside of a LU60A module for night vision only use? |

| Not sure really. What would be the happy medium? I don't see the light being on for more than 2 hours, and would have batteries readily available. Now that I think about it, since I will always have night vision readily available, should I sell the KX2C head and just get a P61 Lamp? I can't decide on if it's worth the extra load carrying an extra head? When would I use the KX2C vs a LU60A w/ P61? Should I run an illuminator instead of trying to make the Scout work well for NV? I'm thinking of putting a helmet mounted illuminator like this http://www.surefire.com/HelmetLight-B |

He is a sponsor, deals with your kinds of delimas all day, and won't try to sell you crap for the sake of making a buck. Good guy to field those above questions to. |

In real world, the P61 is only slightly brighter than the P60, while having significantly less runtime and drawing more current drom the battery, which may be a problem if you're using the tape switch. I'd stick with the P60. +1 I have used MN10 and MN11 bulbs, before. It was lame. I ran the MN10. Lots more run-time, not enough light difference to matter. |
