CR123A for this light?

Wondering if this light is likely to take CR123's, or whether modifications will be necessary

Judging by the "3.6-9V" spec and the pics showing a pair of 18650s, I'd say that you could technically use 2-3xCR123A or 2x16340, but you'd have to use a dummy cell, or find a shorter body tube. 2x18650 should give pretty good performance anyway.

Thanks - i'll investigate.
It looks like i'll need to find a CR123 + 18650 + AA + AAA charger somewhere

I'm hoping that by "CR123," you mean "RCR123A," right?

The only chargers I know of that can charge both NiMH and Li-Ion are the expensive RC chargers like the Triton or Schulze.

Well i guess i'll have to buy an expensive charger. That will hurt a bit...

May I ask why you want it in one charger, instead of getting independent Li-Ion ($15) and NiMH ($10-50+, depending) chargers?
