i've always been a aa and more recently a 14500 flashlight kind of guy. i like the form factor and availability and all that. however i noticed a fenix on high with cr123, although much shorter than a aa outran it by a good margin. is that just because of the aa going through a boost convertor and loosing efficency. would this not be the case with cr123 running against a 14500 since they're both 3.6 volts.
the other factor is i really do rechargeable batteries for all my lights and i think maybe the rcr123's capacity is what turned me away from that form factor. how are you 123 fans justifing your decision on the form factor. i wouldn't mind losing a half inch on my next few flashlight purchases.
