I didn't know a X5 could run on a single cell....dummy cell?

The red one has a dummy spacer in the body (non-removable) the others are all 2 cell.

Try the Streamlight Twin Task 1L. It has both an incan bulb and 3 LEDs. I bought the 2L versions to use up my partial primaries left over from my SF G2. Works well and lights up a reasonable amount, even if it is a little bluish. I see it as my emergency light for when the power drops, etc. It's nice having both the LED and the incan so if I need a burst of bright light I have it in the same light. (Course, when you get those partials down towards the bottom, there ain't gonna be much incan available...)

What about Peak LED solutions, like their Glacier Bay, Rainier, Atlantic, Mediterranean and Caribbean? And also the Hyperion?

I use an old Arc LS1 to get the last bit out of a battery. Yesterday my Zebralight H30 started flashing, so I figured the batt was about gone. I put the batt into the Arc and it went right to moon mode. So, I'd say the H30 would be good for getting the last little bit out of your old 123s, too...and it's bomb-proof.
I'll second the Zebralight H30. All I have been using are my old spent batteries. A definite bonus for purchasing this light.:thumbsup:
This seems to work in my white X5 but output is substantially reduced, comparable to my Pak-Lite on low.Also, I had to insert the "dummy" battery first in order for this to work.When the CR123 was inserted first the light flickered and barely lit the LEDs.

You could put 2 pieces of potatoes in an x5 and still get some light. But seriously, I've found that the X5 is the best vampire out there when you just need marginal light. When my E2D cuts out on its batts, I still have like 3-4 hrs of sidewalk night-walk light out of my X5.
An awesome test of an X5 is to load it with fresh batts...unscrew the cap....without touching the sides, with one hand touch one finger to the pos tip of the batt exposed. With the other hand just freakin' hold the X5. Look at the glow you get just using your body as a conductor. Crazy.

Mine worked, makeshift spacer, but it worked. I however have sold my X5 in anticipation of my Milkycandle..
