Shortest CR123 Light ?????

[Sub_Umbra]

...They had a 3 and 5 LED version and claim a great run time. I wonder how bright they were ?????...

Unfortunately LSI never made any standardized claims for runtime (like to 50% brightness). I think their lights would have been in the ballpark if they had.

Nightcutter red = 626nm
Nightcutter green = 525nm

The Nightcutters were rated by an independent lab for many things like watertightness, shock and brightness:.

3 LED Intensity:
• Green: 54,000 millicandelas
• White: 30,000 millicandelas
• Red: 15,000 millicandelas

5 LED Intensity:
• Green: 90,000 millicandelas
• White: 50,000 millicandelas

I've got the 3red, 3white, 3green and 5green and the green ones are quite bright for 5mm lights in a small package. I'm very glad I got in on those. The Sports were very slick little lights at a great price point.

I have a P1 AND an M10, the M10 is smaller.

Is it ???? Wow, I measure my P1 at exactly 65 mm as per the Fenix spec., but I dont have an M10. The M10 specs say 6.5 cm (which is 65 mm of course). So if you measure them both, just how long is the M10 ???????

Cool !!, can you just swap colored heads ??????? Wish I had colored heads to swap on a CR123 light.......

Yeah, originally I only had two bodies to go with the four heads. I'd written back and forth with Vin at LSI quite a few times about different concepts for lights and when they announced that they were no longer selling retail I paniced. I wrote him and asked if he had any Sport bodies in any color and he sold me a couple unengraved black ones. I originally bought with the intention of swapping...but I liked them all too much...

The Firefly III is the smallest single 123 light I have seen but it only takes rechargeable lithium ions.

Did that change for the III?
My Firefly II (with a Cree upgrade) works fine with a lithium primary.
I haven't tried a 3.7v R123 in there.
It's the smallest single-123 light I have, but this one is not exactly edc material, or at least I would have to edc it very carefully:

(picture from the sales thread when I bought it. I do not own the light on the left, unfortunately).

What about JIL they are quite small aren't they?

The Firefly III is the smallest single 123 light I have seen but it only takes rechargeable lithium ions.

It appears that the Firefly is 68 mm long, just 3mm longer than the Fenix P1...... not, to nitpick...... see http://www.cones-stuff.co.uk/Firefly.htm

original firefly was shortest of FF. ARC LS w/twisty is slightly shorter than FF.

ARC LSH-P w/twisty looks to be shortest at 2.39in .. 60.79mm

AFAIK the JIL carried CR2 not 123. dont know, are they have 123?

AFAIK JILs are only CR2

 

[TMorita]

Just checked, and the Dealextreme CR1232 I have is 65mm, so it's not the shortest.

The MTE Lumiled CR123A (as it is known at Dx) is stated at 65mm (2.56") which should be the same as the Fenix P1.

The Arc is truly pocket-sized with the 123 twisty.
I'm waiting on Bombelman's CR2 twisty.

Can somebody provide the URL for this light? I can't seem to locate this on DX anymore. Kyle seems to have taken down all of his Luxeon lights.
