[pct-l] digital camera batteries

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

don't even bother using the lithium batteries in flashlights or 
headlamps with regular incandescant bulbs.  The lithium batteries will 
burn out the bulb in no time flat.  It won't break anything, but you 
will literally go through bulbs in a matter of hours.  Of course, the 
light output will be fantastic.  :-)

peace,
dude
