I don't think that any of the two-stage lights SureFire has released so far use an inductor rather than resistance.
That becomes viable for the more advanced proto-types SureFire has been considering such as the UA2/UB2/UB3 etc.
I agree that an inductor method is technically better but SureFire have yet to put it into production on any models.

Ok, seems that I was off the track a little bit. But considering the LX2's low level is only 15 lumens, which doesn't require a lot of current to the LED, this seems reasonable. Would be interesting to know how exactly this works. I had a look at the patent I had in mind and found some interesting details of different concepts (e.g. A2 Aviatior). In case someone is interested, here's the link http://www.pk-e.com/pk/Patents/US07116061B2.pdf

When you say "17670 does not fit", is there any reason it would be too short, even with a battery extender? Or, did you mean that the 17670 is too wide. I forget.... does a CR123A battery have the same width as a 17670 battery?

I didn't explain that clear:p, the protected 17670 is too wide to fit, but the unprotected 17670 should fits.

If you don't want to take the risk, 2x3.0V RCR is safer, and can running anound 30 min in high level:)
