I'm currently searching for a sexy EDC and came across the Jetbeam E3S. Seems to have the looks and performance I was going for. It supposedly puts out 155 lumens (emitter?) on a regular 1.5v alkaline utilizing a XPG R4.
I'm also considering a Quark mini AA which will spit out 250+ lumens OTF direct drive on a 14500.
My question is, can the E3S run on a 14500? And if so, will it be regulated or direct drive spitting out huge OTF numbers?
Any other AA lights out there which can take a 14500 and put up huge numbers?
Thanks in advance!
*edit* Just read a review regarding the Jetbeam bk135a and it seems to be driven harder on a 14500. I figure the E3S should also be running a similar boost only circuit. So this light might be as bright as a quark mini aa on li-ion!
