Hmmmm.......Whats to reconfigure to run 123's? I got mine today from Amondotech and I took out the orange peel reflector and installed the smooth one, and then I uninstalled the tactical switch and installed the 2 stage reverse clicky and the glow in the dark rubber.
These are nice lights for the money. I have heard them referred to as poor man Surefires.......These, nor any Chinese light I own, or have owned, come close to the quality of a Surefire. They are clones. Frankly, I am getting a tad tired of the Hyperbole of the current crop of Chinese Cree lights. They are not all that great. In fact. I think the Coast Focusing light is brighter than all of them, excepting the P1Dce. Its nice that there are inexpensive lights available, but I own Modded lights that IMHO are more what this hobby is about than these trumped up lights coming from Asia. Sorry to rant in your thread.......didn't feel like starting my own. There are too many on these lights as it is.
