Quote from: enki_ck on September 07, 2012, 10:32:48 PMThanks, Gareth! It's all I didn't want to hear. It sounds perfect for me Now only do I want an AA or CR123 version of it. I prefer rechargeable batteries and use or RCR123s isn't recommended in the T20 but lots of people still use them without problems. On a totally unrelated matter, all this Trunite talk got me playing with my Ti. And it has no spring, and has a rubber ring around the + pole. And I had some QTC on my desk, ... Sadly I don't think it will work. The two stage switch is actually a kind of spring in itself; screw the head down and a piece of metal comes in contact with the + of the cell, keep twisting and that piece of metal bends slightly and makes a second contact on the underside of the metal piece. Not sure I am explaining that very well. I might well also be totally wrong and the QTC will work brilliantly. Let us know.

I'm carrying mt ITp sc2 eluma for about 45 more minutes then I'll switch to a nitecore ezaaI sent the itp thorugh my washing maching last night. It worked good all day today. The iTp s2 is a Good light for the price.
Took my daughter for a walk yesterday evening, and took one of my HCRI Quarks along, used a 123 body with it for the first time. (I'm an AA and 18650 guy... not really into CR123's). I really liked how well the finger-ring thing that comes with the small Quarks worked with the 123 body; much more secure fit than with the AA body. The smaller size was also nice too. Not that I'm planning on going with more 123 based lights, but the little Q123 configuration was a nice size, and did everything I needed.

But, I've been carrying a MiniMag Pro+ for the last several weeks and I've been very impressed by this 2XAA light.

Even though I've argued that the 123 format is pretty much 'legacy' at this point, I won't argue with the compactness advantage it has.Still, I can't ever see myself buying any light that exclusively uses 2 or more 123 cells. I'd rather have 1x18650, and get aprox. 50% more run time than 2x123 primaries, or 75% more than RCR 16340's. 18650's just leave 123's in the dust.
