small single cr123 torch

[MattSPL]

Hi

I'm looking for suggestions for a small, high quality torch that takes a singe rechargeable cr123.

Something like a HDS or Novatac 120M? Can these two torches take a 3.7v rechargeable battery?

Cheers
Matt

Olight t10 less then $40

Thanks for the reply, that looks decent. What is the build quality like compared to surefire and Led lenser. I have both so should be able to get an idea from that.

i know for sure the HDS can. it would optimized itself for either cell.
im using a RCR123 in my surefire L1 right now, i think ive seen reports of the E1L being able to use RCR123 as well, but im not 100% sure on that one.

Check out the JetBeam PC10

My vote is for the HDS. It is strong, well made and reliable.

The Surefire L1 is also worth considering.

+1 on the HDS.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The PC10 has impressive specs :)

I'll have to do a google translate on a German site to see if they have the hds lights in stock. They're out of stock in the uk.

Perhaps a Quark 123?

I run a Quark Turbo X with an AW 16340. (500 lumens, 10,000 lux)

Some good inexpensive ones are Olight i1 (xml) and Jetbeam BC-10 (xpg)

Thanks for the suggestions, they all look good.

Are the sunwayman v10r ti, and the surefire T1A(2012 model) worth considering?

Cheers

Both HDS and novatac do take rcr. I vote for HDS, however there is a several month backlog on these lights due to the perfectionist nature of the maker. Look around the marketplace and post a wtb if you want one.

Another option is to get a surefire e1e and replace the stock bulb with kuku's / veleno designs led dropin. Takes rcr, and is the smallest setup I have (in case you don't wish to wait for HDS)

That's a great idea, thanks.

If you don't mind giving up low lumen runtimes.... infinitely variable control rings eat juice.

check out the eagletac d25c

The regular v10r is a great light the Ti+ has some problems so you might want read the ongoing thread before considering it.
