Yes you can, but runtime is short with 3,7V RCR123 : ~20 minutes. I think the led is highly overdriven.

With 3V RCR123, you have ~35 minutes runtime.

One member in CPF ahve done runtime test (without graph).
Do a search on the Amilyte T5.

I am running one in mine tonight for some quick beamshots and WOW is it bright! If the light is 115 lumens with a primary it is around 140 with the RCR. Incredible brightness!

Looks like there might be some problems with running these cells in the T5...

I wouldn't recommend it if you like your light

It will overheat and the LE will burn out quite quickly. Stick to primaries.
