Ok, so lemme give you a bit of a story here. I was first introduced to these forums by the wickedlasers forums. I was convinced by someone over there to buy the Inova t3. Loved it. I used it all the time at campouts and it was constantly the brightest flashlight there.
I got tired of buying disposable batteries for it, though. So I decided to buy rechargable batteries and I did see the warning that they were 3.6 rather than 3.0 volts. I figured the Inova could take it. Anyway, I was wrong. Put the batteries in got a bit of a flash of light and now it won't turn on. Boo.
Anyway, I'm kinda stuck. I do need a new flashlight but I don't really feel like spending a bunch of money. I already have rechargable cr123a's hence the battery requirement. Anyway, here's a list of requirements..
CR123A batteries (Must be compatible with the extra voltage from rechargable ones)
Around 30 dollars.
Ive been looking at the fenix tk10 http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?p=2408701
And the ultrafire p4

Thats about it I guess. I just want to know your personal experience with a flashlight that fits those requirements. I prefer to have a flashlight with less throw and more of a focused beam, but meh. Thanks for your time guys, I appreciate it.
