AA/CR123 light

No li-ion. I have plenty of 18650 format lights.

> Any lights that accept AA/cr123

what prompted your interest in that combination?

These two lights can use AA or CR123 or also LiIon:

V11r with AA extension, as on the left:

V10r Ti with AA extension, as on left:

PM me if you would like to consider a purchase…

good luck with your search…

there is a UTorch that does that

it’s actually decent, the UTorch SF01

I have one, it was on some kind of sale about 3 years ago
under $10 or i would not have bothered

may be a clone

the body is long enough for an AA, and big enough for a CR123
the spring takes up the slack, though an AA does rattle from side to side a bit
not sure if an AAA goes in or not, i Have AAAs so i have not tried

it even has a 2 level UI that is kind of different and cool

programmable, i.e. the user can program 3 different modes: High/Strobe/Low (factory default); High only; and Low/High, to program you have to tap the switch rapidly 9 times and hold it down the 10th time, keep holding the switch until the light turns off, then release the switch. L

and the light color is a nice neutral with no blues or greens or purples

Have plenty of 18650 lights. Thought I look into a light that takes both batteries I can get locally during emergency.

I remember someone said during an emergency; most of AA, AAA,C,D are usually gone. Hopefully can find cr123 if I really need it.

that makes sense
good a reason as any, to buy another light … lol

I also like the excuse to get a solar panel, to recharge my eneloops and LiIons.
Slippery slope…

enjoy the ride
share what you buy

Although I have too many flashlights anyway, my go-to emergency flashlights are:

1. 18650 flashlights that accept CR123’s. I also have a box of CR123’s in the closet and get new ones every 7 years or so.
2. Just about any long runtime rated AA or AAA light. Currently, for me it’s a toss up between two Coast Polysteel lights… I keep the smaller one in the car glove compartment with a Big Larry clone if I need to change a tire, etc.

Something else to consider, is that some 21700 lights come with a 2xCR123 adapter… and some will accept an 18650 in the adapter (not all).

As someone already mentioned, Streamlight currenltly offers a AA/CR123 light. I have an AA/CR123 Fenix headlamp in my emergency bag, but they stopped making it… or at least they stopped making the extension for the AA.

Thanks, I’ll look into it.

I could buy a spacer to run my 18650 lights with 1 cr123…

I 3D printed some 18650 to CR123A/16340 adapters:

Thank you, xxo. I will keep you in mind if I decide to go that route.

Probably pretty easy to make a spacer using pvc pipe or a wooden dowel

The Olight Transformer set.
The TC10 and TC15 are “vintage” Olight tube-lights. Normally in alu, sometimes SS.
Then came the SE Titanium Transformer Christmas set: 1 head, 1 tailcombo, 2 bodies.
An omnivore, you could feed it: AA, CR123A, 16340, and 14500.

dead link.

This looks promising. But missing a lower low mode. 40 lumen low seems a bit high.

No, it isn’t. You need to copy the whole link, included “search=hugsby” into the address line of your browser, and then delete the words (link is external). Well, that works for me!

Thanks.

I think the one I received has am XPG 2 in it . I’ll have to look.

Runtime is only 1-2 hrs.
