Adding the tube to a Jet-I MK-IIx v1.2 - which one?

[Sproles]

OK - somewhat confused by the tube thingy, but I have a new (to me via a sale here on cpf) MK-IIx v.1.2 coming to me this week and want to get the 123 tube...is this the one that I need from Emilion?

I heard the the CR123 tubes for the Jetbeam MKI and MKII won't work on the MKIIX

Here is Emil's response to my question I emailed to him earlier - this may help all of us!

"Thanks for your enquiry.

If your MKIIx has a spring on the bezel side (that means 2 springs 1 on head and 1 on tail) , then yes, the CR123 tubes works with your light.

The 123A tube from the original JET-I fits, but, it just barely screws on enough to cover the highest point on the O-ring. Looks like you may need a new 123A tube to fit the new head if you have an older tube. I'll bet it's because the electronics in the head moved the contact plate back on the threads a bit.
