Hi everyone.
Being my first post im gonna make it an easy one as ive done all the research myself between CR123A and 18650 batteries in general and in my light.
Im always the type to go neck deep into the research and facts of anything i consider a hobby type item. So i dont need suggestions on batteries or chargers and which works best. I need to know which route would be the most fun first and the most useful and cost effective in the end.
Here are some facts on my use of the light and what its purpose is.
1. I like cool stuff, IE pistols for my CHL and High(ish) end knives like Spyderco and Benchmade. The light seems to be an extension to those hobbies as i wanted the light originally to be mounted on my home defense shotgun. But its too cool and it stays by my side while i use a different light on the shotty.
2. With my hobbies i get OCD like in alot of cases, I don't see me buying alot of lights as i do personalizing this one.
3. The light is for enjoyment mainly and power failures as i don't have any job requiring its use. But we all need a flashlight in everyday living tho.
I bought four CR123A's when i bought my light and i expect those to last a while with my low usage. But im intrigued with the rechargeable 18650's and the fun it brings to the light/hobby.
So as a noob with his first light and its lite usage does going rechargeable make sense over buying $1 Titanium Innovations CR123A right from the get go?
Rechargable setup = $30 for 1x charger and 2x batteries.
CR123A's x 12= $15
Prices include shipping.
So now knowing what you know when you first started which route would you have went considering my needs and use of course?
