I have 5 divers in the family and we do mostly Spring/Cavern/Cave diving at this point. I was looking for a good option for cavern primary lights with push-button switches and found a good deal on some Hollis LED lights locally. I got a couple of there LED3 lights that run on 3x AA batteries and an LED Mini3 that runs on three AAA batteries.
I was hoping that I could get the spacers to put an 18650 light in them (like on my Dive Rite BX-1 backups), but that does not seem like it will work do to the body length.
In any case, Anyone want to inform me (or speculate) on the best option to put rechargeable batteries into these lights? I have heard good things about the Eneloop batteries, but was not sure if they would keep the same 1.5v/cell and suitable for an LED flashlight.
FYI:
the Hollis LED3 runs a Cree LED R5 with an output of 900mA
the Hollis Mini3 runs the same Cree LED R5 but with an output of 700mA
