Affordable 2-stage RCR123 or RCR2 LED?

hrbngr · Oct 2, 2006

hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a LED EDC light that is either rechargeable 123 or CR2 w/a high low setting priced from $50 to $75? It looks like the only option right now is a used HDS 42.

I have a FF2 that runs on standard CR2 but it is just too expensive for me to carry.

I like the Fenix P1 but it does not have a low beam and the CR2 ION is way more expensive than I want in a EDC.

You could install one of Goldserve's $20 fenix sized FLuPIC boards (0.6 inches/15.24 mm diameter) into one of Dae's $25.99 delivery included SmartFire CR2 flashlight. Out with the old regulator board and in with the new. It's very easy to install, only 2 wires to solder.
This flashlight is only 2¼ inches long.
AW's new protected rechargeable CR2 cells fit this flashlight perfectly.

If you want it in a HAIII type finish then check out Waion's Luxogen LR10-3w CR2 flashlight thread.

hmm...thanks for the heads up, read about the Smartfire light in the other multi-level LED thread. Are there any lights that come stock this way that are remotely affordable? I don't care about a special finish, as long as it not too rough to damage pants liners.

also, is Waion's light different from the Smartfire light other than finish?

They are the same light but with different names printed on the side of the bezel.

You could try PM'ing MillerMods.
His mods are affordable, widely acclaimed and incorporate different levels.

You could mod the Surefire E1L switch for 2-stage operation. It's an easy mod that is explained elsewhere in these forums. It runs well on RC-123s and makes a great light.
