The Makai definitely looks best on a 2x123 body. Much more proportional that way.
Has anyone put one of these on a 2xAA body yet?
:devil: Forget all about the 17670 idea....been there...done that with the original 3v light engine! Donn finally came up with the perfect light engine here! I am running the 2 x123 pak with two AW RCR123's and the 2xAA pak with a pair of AW 14500's and this is the cat's meow!!! This is it!!!! Exactly what we've all been waiting for! The "man" came up with the plan. A lot of guys keep asking for the old stuff which I too have a collection of. All I can say is get on the list or go for the 2 xAA Pak.....REMEMBER>>>> Don said maximum input up to 9v....why waste time on the 17670 with the label removed (unless you are running the original 3v LE).....Go for the GUSTO! I also used the 3v LE with an AW 14500 and a dummy spacer or two Powergenix NiZn rechargeables which carry a higher voltage than the Eneloops (I got this HOT tip from BigChelis in one of his reviews....thanks Jose) I am MOST pleased with the performance of this new light engine and endorse it with the utmost support and recommendation! Thanks Don! OUT OF THE BALL PARK HERE!!!!
lovecpf :thumbsup:
Are these AW 14500 batts the exact same length as standard AA batteries?
Any possibility of a high CRI version?
... I don't know what 200mA more could have done, but this is enough to my gusto...
The beam is a dream. Small and bright hotspot, surrounded by a large and very bright corona, which goes into a bright enough spill. This light is surely perfect for forest walks, there's very good throw and a well-lit spill. It's exactly like I imagined and together with a Haiku you have a perfect combination that's good from close-up works to enlighten far away objects.
