I'm a newbie, but getting addicted quickly (with money, or lack thereof, being my only holdback). As I surf through CPF more (damn you people for all the temptations!), I'm finding more lights I really want, mostly the small and very small ones.
Since many mfr's are going for further miniaturization, I was wondering why there aren't more lights using the smaller CR2s vs CR123s? This was prompted by my search for more info on the JIL CR2 lights. Mfr's like such Amilite who use a twistie switch (I prefer clickies) to minimize size would seemingly benefit with a CR2. Are CR2s newer to the flashlight market? If so, is this niche industry migrating towards CR2s? Or do CR2s hold less power than CR123s to drive the greater demands of the latest LEDs?
Thanks.
BTW, anyone have a link to more info on the CR2 Ion?
And is there anywhere to get CR2s for as cheap or cheaper than CR123s ($1-$1.25)?
