Anyone tried this?

I was looking at my Icon Solo tonight, and wondered if anyone had tried using 10440s instead of AAA cells. I know all about the voltage differences between AAA and 10440, but I also know that some drivers have more than enough latitude to handle it. I just can't find out if the driver Icon used is one of them. I have most of a box of AAA alkalines from when my son lived with me (game controller), so I won't be changing over right away, but just wondered if it was possible. TIA

New here!
Sorry but haven't even thought of before... Why would you wanna do that?

I personally wouldn't do it unless I knew the specs showed it had a voltage range that can handle 8volts. x2 10440 li-ions fully charged, in series, will push that driver to 8.4 volts which I doubt it was designed for. You might get away with a single 10440 with a dummy cell to complete the circuit. At best, I would just use aaa lithium primaries.

I forgot about Icon. Are they still making lights?

No, but they are still available. Amazon usually has some, and a remaindering outfit called Digicircle had a bunch. I picked up a couple of Solos for about $5 each, and a half dozen Rogue Ones for $3 each. Nice lights at that price.

Anyone tried this?
