Both of my dual sprung JetBeam AA models (MK1 and Pro) easily accept AAA batteries and seem to run just fine on them no matter the setting (.7 to 4.2 V range).
Besides runtime, are there any other obvious caveats regarding the use of these cells (LSD) in a pinch and if not...what other AA lights out there boast the same versatality?
My original Pro has great throw and decent max output for what will seemingly be a much longer runtime than the next model about to be released....yet the higher/high/lower/low IBS 'pill' (promised by Jetbeam) might just be thrown in with the spare AA and AAA's if these lights safely do double duty and the upcoming 14500 max output isn't overly (more) impressive.
And while on the subject of AAAs...are most lights out there like my Tiablo A1 in that they will seemingly switch to a moon mode at the end of their cycle...and then slowly sip juice to the very end?
I receive several very repectable runtime 'recharges' out of a totally dead LSD battery and am rarely worried about it ever letting me down with no spares in hand. :twothumbs (isn't AA/AAA standardization a beautiful thing?...).
Thanks for your help!
