a few weeks later, thanks to the locator being on, a friend found it outside at his place and gave it back.
great to hear, congrats!
my latest purchase is another Novatac ;-)
Question, for a Novatac carried in a Skiing backpack, do you think CR123 is necessarily better than 16340?
fwiw, I did a test, and it did not help answer that question
I put a Novatac and one of each battery type in my freezer for 2 hours, and then tested the output of each battery in the cold light, on my Lumen Tube.
I measured no significant output difference (using mode B set to 10 lumens and mode C at 40 lumens), to when the batteries were at house temperature..
