Congrats bikenber73. You should be able to use one of the tubes by itself to hold just one cell. See if it works that way. In stubby mode, it's not much bigger than a C8.
One of the tubes should be shorter. You may be thinking it is part of tube that has the "Trustfire TR-3T6" label on it. That tube piece should have a knurled section after the lable, but not before. The knurled section before the label is a separate, shorter section.
EDIT: The extension tube should have 2 knurled sections. The short tube will have one knurled section.
EDIT2: OK, looked at my light. You can't get 1S config with the stock tubes. At least, not without a spacer. Sorry for the confusion.
The driver will allegedly work down to 0.8V. AFAIK it has been confirmed to work on a single cell but you need some kind of spacer as there is ~25mm of space, so use your longest cell!
Although, I do not understand why you would want to run this thing on 1 cell. On high mode with 2 fresh cells I see ~2.25A on the tail, with 3 ~1.75A.

It is not going to last very long with 1 cell!
Why?, because it's more compact and I rarely use my lights on high. On low with one cell is uses about 200mA. Quite efficient for the amount of light it puts out. But mainly, if it runs on one cell, that tells me it has the "good" driver. The driver is tough and have some good flexability and can easily run it on Ni_mh cells.
No. Amazon changes the “default” seller all the time. Yesterday when I clicked on that link it was “IGet”, now it is “Yes Digi”. I have absolutely no way of knowing which actual vendor the light was purchased from.
