Hi guys,
My old Nuwai 3W was stolen from my car glovebox when the car went in for regular service. Although old, its small and provides good light when required.
So now im looking for a cheap CR123 replacement to stash in the car yet i wont be too heart broken if its gone missing again. "Cheap" means around the RM150 mark new or used (in good condition). Any suggestions?

QUOTE(Unregistered User @ Jul 30 2010, 02:05 PM) I second these recommendations! But why do you specifically want one that runs on CR123A anyway? These batteries are not exactly hard to find, but they're not widely and cheaply available, either. Did you consider one that runs on a AA battery? The 4Sevens Mini AA or ITP A2 puts out plenty of light, you won't be disappointed, especially if you're comparing it with your stolen light. Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I had bad experiences with leaking AA alkalines previously and they rendered my AA Maglite useless. In the end i had to throw the Maglite out cos it was seriously badly corroded inside. We're talking about a several months of no use cos it was left in a corner for emergencies only and it had a new set of batts. Its ok if you use your lights regularly but not good if you leave it idle for months or years. But now since there are (Energizer) lithium AA batts, i may consider AA lights now.

QUOTE(susuman @ Sep 2 2010, 04:57 PM) Its ok, I want to buy it to condition my NiMH batteries, and time to get a new sets of AA NiMH too. I have a set of 4 AA NiMH batts which are not holding charge well (maybe because i seldom use it, not because it overused). They are Powerex 2100 (if i remember correctly). If you can revive / condition them and if you want them, you can have it for FREE. Only condition is you gotta come and pick it up from me cos i dont have the time to mail it.  .

Fog is saturated water particles in air. There's not much you can do about that. Fog lights on cars are usually mounted low and are the yellowish halogen types to penetrate fog. Blue-ish LED are the worst for this situation. The French use yellow fog lights for that purpose.
