LED torch for 1x CR123???

luchs · Feb 10, 2007

i'm looking for a flashlight which uses my burnout CR123 from incandescant torches.

it might be a 3W luxeon (thinking, cree will be to expensive),
clickie and up to 30 USD.
it would be great if it is regulated.
i like a straight shape without a bigger bezel because i'll carry it in my pocket. (like fenix/jetbeam)

thank you for help!!

this is what I use...$20USD drains cells better than my T1, which is more than $30 :ohgeez:

Its not a clickie but the Ultrafire 602D would work well I think.

I have got this MXDL for $15 the color is a bit blue-ish but good build quality
I also have the Luxogen LR5-3w $22 on ebay. this one is a bit more brighter and the color of light is much warmer. they run for about 40-50 minutes

the $15 MXDL light will be modified to a CREE or a Edison KLC-8 by me as soon as I have them

Kanarie,

Does that light have more than one level or is it just an on/off switch?
Let us know how the LED upgrade goes.

i like the Ultrafire 602D most - but it's no clickie.
(is it the same they offer for about 7 USD from Hongkong at ebay?)

otherwise - there's a L2T lying in the chest since i got my MKII -
perhaps i should buy a CR123 tube for it??
unfortunately it also costs 20 bucks :rant:

You can get the 602D for various prices, shop around and get the best buy is what I do.

As far as the cr123 body on the L2T. a good idea, but it will be quite a bit bigger as the L2T head alone is probably half the length of a P1 or 602D. Add to that the body and clickie switch and it will probably be close to the L1T in length and the width of the P1 if that is ok.

Best inexpensive single CR123 torch I have come across.

Dual output too.
