*LAST UPDATED 8 MAY 2014*
we all have cells lying around that are half dead, because they dont run our lights at nice powerful outputs anymore...so what are the lights that run depleted cells well on the various battery form factors?
i was thiking of making this a master listing thread for those...and make them commercially available lights...yes i know the milky candle exists, but im wondering whats on the commercial market too...
EDIT: 8 May 2014, Better late than never?
Running "dead" CR123A in this configuration has been known to cause explosions (see disclaimer) It is highly NOT reccomended

There is a risk involved in running lithium cells totally dry in a light, please search "exploding batteries" BEFORE trying this, and if you do try, you do so at your own risk...
