Would a R123A 3.7V hurt a P2D in the end

Hi,

My P2D, which I use for EDC, is running on a R123a 3.7 V cell.
Yes, I have lost the low, medium and high mode for most of the time.
Only if the cell is at the end of the charge I can use these modes.

What bothers me is the fact that the 3.7V cell might hurt the LED and/or the circuit after some/longer time. The light turns relatively hot (good for winter days), but you can still touch it. Nothing compared to a Luxeon V.

Anyone any experience on this?

Thanks,

Ad

lighthound says the input voltage is 2.0-4.2v and they even tell you about the lost lower modes. I hope this helps

Fenix seems to be a cut above the rest because they don't allow their lights to be overdriven even if you use 3.7/4.2v batteries.
