Firefighterchen,
Thanks for the link, it is a good read.
Unfortunately, it only answers half the question. A CR123A battery, being a 3 volt battery will allow for a brighter light. However, the rest of it, lasting longer, is based on an alkaline AA battery vs. a lithium CR123A battery. With the availability of lithium AA batteries (advertised as lasting up to 9 times as long as an alkaline AA battery), this just doesn't seem like a valid comparison.
Is the brightness offered by having a 3 volt battery, rather than a 1.5 volt battery, the only real advantage of the CR123A battery? If so, I might keep looking for something I like that uses AA batteries just to have the option of using readily available alkaline batteries when I can not find the lithium ones.
I just want to make sure that I get what I need and not something that I will never take advantage of.
I do want the switch positioned at the butt end of the flashlight, as a button, and I do want something that is reliable and durable. However, the standard brightness of something like the mini-mag 2 AA flashlight is fine for my purposes, I don't need multiple levels of brightness.
Anybody have any suggestions?
