My collection is missing an LED based light that uses one CR123A batt.
So far I've found the following....

Inova T1
Longbow Micra
Peak (Carribean, et al.)
Surefire L1
Surefire E1L
And the HDS lights

Any others I'm missing? (rember 1xCR123A use only, thanks).

EDIT...
More lights added to the listing...
Advancemart "Non Luxeon" 3 watt
Aurora 1.5 watt
Litepro Spitfire I
Nuwai Quantium III (QIII)
Pelican M1 (how did I forget this one?!?)
Tektite Splash-Light LS
Vortex TC-1

A few more:

Aurora Jupiter LED
Pelican M1
Nuwai QIII & others

Probably plenty more. Be interesting to see how long this list gets.

Thanks Mark.
I didn't even know that Aurora made a 1x123A light! Sheesh the surprises I find when I ask a question <grin>.

I really like the Nuwai ALX-2611, reviewed here, for sale for $21.50 plus shipping here. It puts out more light than my old Arc LS, is very white, and runs nearly 3 hrs to 50% on 1 CR123. Nice build quality, a little thinner and longer than a Q111, and includes a pouch.

Streamlight Twin-Task 1L

In the 3 led mode it's great for sucking weak 123's dry

I agree with Nerdgineer, I like my ALX-2611 too. My micra and T1 are brighter and throw farther but lack the AKX-2611's runtime.

I like these -

S1801 1w Luxeon 1xCR123
my favorite 1 watt Luxeon - about $20 from GoldenGadgets off eBay

Nuwai Q3
I have the older version that draws about 720mA - a favorite - but many detractors too for short runtime and underperformance for a 3watt Luxeon.
BUT use a Nuwai Q3 with RCR123 + Nano Charger and it becomes a pocket full of sunlight - warning even 800mAh RCR123 last only about 30mins to something less than 1hour.... BUT that's a lot of light in a small package.

Not a CR123A - but the single AA powered Fenix L1 v2.5 (Non-Premium) is worth investigating too. The regular 1.5V Energizer lithiums can be used in the Fenix L1(P)

Unknown VT,
I'm also looking at the Fenix L1, but for the purposes of my collection right now I'm concentrating on buying something that uses 1xCR123A.

That S1801 looks interesting. I may buy one of those along with whatever else I get.
Thanks!
