Hey, I did a few searches but found information that was pretty old -- I was wondering if there is any new information that anyone would like to share on the matter..
I have a few Inova X5's that I have around as utility lights. One of them is mounted on my bike as a bike light.
I am wondering if the X5's would be able to handle two RCR123a's without a .
Currently, I'm running x1 RCR w/ a dummy cell -- it is reasonably bright and all, but not nearly as bright as x2 primary cell output.
I know the X5 is manufacturer spec'd at 6V and that there isn't any regulation -- it's just a resister inside?
But I've also heard that the X5 is a pretty rugged light, inside and out. I'm wondering how much it can handle being overdriven with x2 RCRs... the RCR outputs 4.2V right? So we're talking 8.4V compared to the rate 6V rating...
Any experiences, comments, or suggestions?
