This is a guide to the many setups available for the versatile Seraph SP-6 Flashlight that we have designed:

SP-6 LED Setups:

D26-LED Setups

This setup is a simple 1 x 18650 Rechargeable setup that is cost efficient on the battery. Using the D26-LED to provide the light source in one simple and compact flashlight. Not the most ideal setup though as the runtime will be limited under 100% output. The good part is the flexibility of the versatile D26-LED Series, you can choose from single mode or 3 mode and warm tine or white tint. Under this setup, we recommend using the 3 mode for more control over battery consumption.

The “standard” setup of the SP-6, mostly for users that do not like to use rechargeable batteries. CR123a batteries have a 10 year shelf life, so for users that do not use the flashlight every day and do not wish to have to recharge batteries. This is an ideal and simple setup to use. This is also the standard tactical use setup, mostly used by military and law enforcement purposes with the single mode version of the D26-LED.

The compact 2 cell rechargeable setup. This is a similar setup to the 1 x 18650 setup and also a very popular setup. This 2 cell rechargeable setup provide higher voltage and draws lower current, but the capacity of the 2 x RCR123 has lower capacity then the single 18650. So this is just a convenience setup for users that want to use RCR123 instead of 18650.

The ideal 2 cell rechargeable setup. Although the 18500 cells are not that common, the size is ideal for a 2 cell setup either on the SP-6 with the added extender or the SP-9 by itself. Using the SP-6 with an extender also gives the user a choice where they can use the SP-6 as standalone or with an extender. The 2 x 18500 cells also provide good runtime and power even using the D26-LED. There are also many other options for the 2 x 18500 setup, which makes it very versatile.

D36-LED Setups with D36 Mini Turbo Head

The compact 2 cell rechargeable setup. This setup is not recommended for any D36-LED modules except the older Generation 1 D36-LED reflectors using the XR-E LED. This setup cannot provide the power needed to run the new Generation 2 D36-LED modules using the high current draw XM-L LED.

The ideal 2 cell rechargeable setup for the D36 platform. The D36 platform provide higher output lamp options and larger reflector which has longer throw. Although the 18500 cells are not that common, the size is ideal for a 2 cell setup either on the SP-6 with the added extender or the SP-9 by itself. Using the SP-6 with an extender also gives the user a choice where they can use the SP-6 as standalone or with an extender. This setup also give the user an option to use 3 x CR123 primary cells when needed.

The ideal primary cell setup for the D36 platform. The D36 platform provide higher output lamp options and larger reflector which has longer throw. This setup also give the user an option to use 2 x 18500 rechargeable cells when needed.

This setup turns the SP-6 into a 4 cell flashlight. This setup provides the most runtime using primary cells and also gives the user the option to use the more popular 2 x 18650 setup. This setup provides very long runtime and very steady power source to the LED which is why it is a popular setup. But if you are consider using this setup, we would recommend to use the SP-9 and use 1 extender instead of using the SP-6 and using 2 extenders. The drawback of this setup is the long length.

D36-LED Setups with M Series Mini Turbo Head

Similar setup with the D36 Mini turbo head, but using the M Series Mini Turbo Head and the M Adaptor. The compact 2 cell rechargeable setup. This setup is not recommended for any D36-LED modules except the older Generation 1 D36-LED reflectors using the XR-E LED. This setup cannot provide the power needed to run the new Generation 2 D36-LED modules using the high current draw XM-L LED.

Seraph M Series Turbo Head Setups

This setup is NOT recommended for any Seraph M Series Turbo Head Setups. This setup cannot provide the power needed to run any models of the Seraph M Series Turbo Heads that has high current draw LEDs.

The ideal 2 cell rechargeable setup for the D36 platform. The Seraph M Series Turbo Head platform provides high output lamp options and an even larger reflector which gives maximum throw. Although the 18500 cells are not that common, the size is ideal for a 2 cell setup either on the SP-6 with the added extender or the SP-9 by itself.
