Nice collection /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I really like my CR123 lights. Not much of a collection but I will post a picture of them. BTW, LionHeart and Ichishiki to be added soon /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just remembered I missed out my Firefly2 in the above picture... It's my EDC and on my keychain, so not too pretty.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Beautiful lights! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif

Very nice lights, I really like the 123 lights.

 

[gregw]

Thanks for the kind comments. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif I find that I use my small lights much more than my big ones since their more handy and much easier to carry around.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My recent preferences of CR123A lights is fairly low current (like 300~500mA) and nice T flux Luxeon III.
Reasonable brightness and long runtimes, especially using NextGen BBs.
On the other hand, that PR X3T is a *nasty* light /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am really looking foward to next generation Luxeons with higher flux and lower Vf, I wonder when they will become available /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

The PR X3T is not "nasty".. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif It is actually the one I reach for most because of the useful amount of light on low, with a 15ohm resistor, and the option to go to full power instantly.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

The R123 seems perfect for this application as it is able to sustain the current draw on the BB750 with the X-bin at full power, and yet be able to provide a few hours of light when just using the low beams. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Like you, I wonder when the new generation of luxeons will be released so we can have X bin brightness but with H vf voltage and efficiency.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif Actually, things seem to have become worse, since there have been no more X-bins available since this last batch, and even W-bin LuxV are impossible to find.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Thanks cy, but I only have one X-bin while you have 3... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif So, no way can I compare my collection with yours. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
