The RC123 light I've been using doesn't run long enough. Can anyone recommed a hot running 18650 light that could also be used as a hand warmer?

Sounds like you should try the incandescent (bulb) forum. I hear they have lots of hot running inefficient lights over there ;)

Incan flashlights aren't very good handwarmers -- they radiate most of their heat as the IR component of the beam. LEDs on the other hand conduct their excess heat directly into the body of the light.

If what you're after is heat, the zippo sounds like the best. Liquid fuel can store about a hundred times as much energy as even the best batteries in the same volume.
