Advice please- torch

So years ago I was given a no name brand torch. Awesome light but it used 2 x CR123A batteries. It really chowed the batteries so I put it away.
Anyway I ordered 2 x RCR123A batteries and took a chance a put them in the torch. Bulb lasted about 2 milliseconds and popped. Yeah I know, stupid move. Tried getting a replacement bulb but totally lucked out.

Anyway I now have 2 RCR123A batteries and no torch. What would be a reasonable torch that would use these types of batteries?

Any light that is spec'ed for the higher voltage of the RCR will be just fine for use with them.
There are so many that it boggles the mind really but I like the Olight Baton & Mini and they offer them in single & double cell models so if you get a single cell version you can also carry a backup cell already charged.
Any light that uses the RCR can also use the standard 123 so there is that flexibility too although the reverse is not always the case as you all too well know by now.
