Not sure about stock but with the resistor mod 2/3 cells really are needed. Two cells are good and have low voltage protection. Three cells give greater capacity but lose voltage protection unless protected cells are used. Don’t know if the sale is still on but here is the link for $24.99 Y3 and $2.99 extensions.
Did you miss the Yezl Y3 GB ? No worries, I managed to arrange a special NotAnotherGB deal with GB. [image]

I just received mine from GB, together with 2 x extension tubes, and can confirm that it's true what have been said about this light : Good build quality for the price, throws pretty well, and is quite moddable .
The resistor mod is cheap but they are TINY.
