Few days ago I got Scout Light with KX2C head from a good friend of mine as a present (no tactical switch but still expensive gift)... used, of course...

So I ran to closest PX and got myself E1E-HA (if I knew that LAPG actually had BLACK discontinued version, would go for that one but this is not bad either).

Now, I know that KX2C can run off of 3.7V rechargeables but right now I'm trying to figure out the right type, either AW IMR 16340 or AW RCR123. So my question to anyone that might have tested this setup is:



1. Which battery is safer in this combo?

2. Which battery will have longer regulated output and how many minutes?

3. What kind of turn off will battery provide; a more wanted dim or complete shut-off?



I presume RCR123 will shut off completely before it starts to dim but how goot is that for the battery? How many times the safety might kick in before battery fails on me?

I hope I didn't duplicate the thead but I'm reading all newer postings regarding IMR and RCR's to chose the right setup.
