Looking for a single CR123 light

Hi Everyone,

It's been ages since i last posted. I hope everyone is well

I'm looking for a new light. No more than 9cm (3 1/2") with a head diameter of about 22 mm, with a Cree R2 emitter. I need something with good throw (high lux) I would like it to run on 16340 and CR123a cells.

Thanks for any input that you can give me.

Nitecore Extreme is just a shade over your measurements and is probably still just about the best-throwing single-123 light out there.

Works really well on AW rechargeables too.

OR

LED Type: Cree XP-E R2
Battery Type: A1 EOS: 1 x CR123A, 1 x RCR123A, 1 x 16340 Battery

I really like Nitecore Extreme for a smooth choice of brightness from 1 to 100%. It's realy practice & comfortable. Maybe it will be my next buy. :thinking:

+1 on the Nitecore Extreme.
Other recommendations are:
Jetbeam RRT-0 (7mm too long)
Dereelight C2H

4sevens lights..

Quark 123, R5 edition, 206 OTF lumens.

For an even smaller form factor there's the Mini version, Quark Mini 123, 189 OTF lumens.

No matter which light the OP chooses, research is in order. For example this is an interesting thread https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/268533

$20, multi-mode, 8.1x2.1cm (measured with a simple ruler, shout if you need more exact numbers), works like a dream on 16340.... ticks almost all your boxes

[edit] Its actually $19 shipped to your door!! Just remember; Dont cheap out and go get the 3-mode!![/edit]

Could you let me know the lux of this on high?

Can you tell me what the lux is on high?

Since the OP is looking for throw (and a R2 emitter) I dont think the recommendations for the XP-G R5 Quark lights are what the OP is looking for.

The zebralight sc30 would seem to be a good suggestion with the XP-E R2 emitter.

A inexpensive option would be the single mode Romisen RC-A4 with XR-E Q5 emitter from shinningbeam.com. I have this light and also have the Quark mini 123 (with XP-G R5 emitter) and the Romisen is a much better thrower (I use a RCR123).

Guess reading through the whole post is important! Well, in that case how about the Ray D1?
