Flashlike
Enlightened
Just bought a new Inova X5 and was surprised that the battery orientation is opposite from most 2 X CR123A cell flashlights. In other words the negative end of the cells contact the light output end and the positive end contact the tailcap end.
Although I intend to be careful to always insert the cells correctly, does anyone know if the circuit has protection in the event they were inserted with incorrect polarity?
I like the flashlight. The beam has a nice tint and is very smooth. There are brighter 2 x CR123A flashlights available, but I appreciate the quality of construction. I've heard that they have decent run time even though the LEDs are directly driven, too.
