Hi all!

I recieved from a fellow CPF member a Streamlight TT-1L the one with one 123A battery and has Xenon and 3 Leds, nice little light.

What I would like to know is if it can take a Recheargable 123 Li-ion, I see they go up to 900 mah for the batterystation protected cell.

Do you think the stock bulb can take the overdrive? Do you think the 3 Leds may suffer damage? Is there a 3.7 bulb I could use with more lumens say 30-40 lumen bulb?

Thanks!

The LEDs will be overdriven a bit, but they'll be fine. The stock bulb, however will go :poof: . I know, as the TT1L I kept can attest to. :lolsign:
