Some of you may have picked up one of these 3X N cell lights on sale and discovered the pain of finding good batteries for them.
Plus the fact that these little batteries overdrive the snot out of these lights at first, and then quickly lose power.
The solution?
2 Lithium AAA batteries seem to work quite well in the triplex 3 led versions.
No modifications needed to the light.
Well driven and well lit, but not quite so hard.
Plus the more even discharge of these lithium batteries seems to work quite well for these over the long run.
They also work ok, but not great in the V2 1 watt versions as well.
The most they can push through mine is around 300 milliamps at 1st, and then sags to around 220 milliamps.
A lower voltage binned Luxeon1 carefully swapped in would likely help.
Good luck.
