Lumahunter M1 and RCR123A 3.7V

[Stormy]

Does the Lumahunter M1 survive 3.7V RCR123A cells or just the 3.0V ones?
According to the specs the light can be driven with RCR123A, but a search on the web does not tell me if this means 3.0V or 3.7V.
Would be great if someone knows somewhat more about this.

Thanks!

hello stormy,

3.7 v Li-on works. that is what I am using now.

Great !!
Thank you very much for the information.
This means, I don't have to buy a different type, as I am using 3.7V RCR123A for my XR55 and Q3.

where is a good place to buy RCR123A 3.7V batteries and charger for this light???

I get mine from Mark at e-lectronics.net and sometimes from AW:

my experience w/ Mark so far has been outstanding. as w/ AW also.

I seem to remember Ricky said don't use 2x 3.7v RCR123 for the 2-stage switch, it'll generate much heat due to the resister in low mode, it's okay for the original 1-stage switch.

thanks NetKidz - I switched the switch on my M1 to the one stage to accommodate the rcr123's. ( I do not care for the 2 stage myself)
