WHAT you mean DONT run VIP on 2 x lithium AA?

Already been there and done that in ignorant bliss.
I've had a VIP for maybe a couple months and am on 2nd set of them. Never read the big thread, but had come across the caution for R123's. Hmmm, better check current, volts, brb....using my Fluke 88 DMM.....
-------------------- L ------ M ------ H
1 x cr123 2.98v --- 34ma -- 470ma -- 1525ma
some use on it ---- 2.81v -- 3.27v --- 3.51v .. (at emitter)
2xAA new 1.78v --- 190ma - 375ma -- 1100ma
Lithium ------------ 2.93v -- 3.27v --- 3.52v
? (ma rising quick on high then taper off) ?
I know enough about electronic circuits to be dangerous.
Not sure what all this means, but I can't "see" any difference in light output......
hope this helps.....
