Here is one specimen, with very good price.
Eagle Eye X7
Only the driver needs to be swapped for a FET one.

Maybe at the budget end, users aren’t using their flashlights enough to need the capacity of a 26650 battery.
Convoy BD06 is rather compact

Ultrafire F13 in special edition
I’d be interested too in another compact 26650 light.
I’ve got the 26650 dgq it’s a nice jacket pocket light with the extra running time over an 18650. Sadly it was never very reliable, then the switch broke,poor design only the solder pins holding the switch in place
I heard that only some very small 26650 batteries fit this light, right?
Yes.
dont know about the light, but seems great: http://www.banggood.com/pt/BTU-PK26-CREE-XHP35-HD-20W-CW-2000lumens-Mini-Pocket-LED-Flashlight-p-1069716.html
I got a TOWILD BC05 and it really work well with very compact dimension,

Nice - nearly everything Olight puts out is nice - but it doesn’t quite qualify for the budget end of the spectrum. My budget end anyway……

Can you really call any 26650 light compact??
It’s like saying there are no compact lorries.
26650 offers two advantages.
-capacity
-amp draw
But you’ve got to have a very special use case to actually exceed what the ability of a good 18650 can currently offer.

Compact van maybe…… like a Transit Connect……
I totally agree with your valid points but was just wanting to get peoples views on these fairly rare beasts. The DQG thing I mentioned at the beginning was definitely compact, certainly in terms of the direct competition if not in comparison to some of the very nice 18650 lights that can be had. In terms of most of the usual 26650 lights, they have very big heads. That just doesn’t appeal to me. I’m not in the market for one of these things by the way, just wanting to chew the fat a bit about them.

Highly illogical price.

Trustfire A8 is probably as compact as you can reasonably get. It’s essentially a 26650 tube light.
I daresay with some careful design you could make it a tad shorter and maybe thinner walled material for the body.
It’s about the same size as a p60 such as the Solarforce L2 series, just with a fatter body. It’s actually quite a nice light to carry and use, and you can notice the extra runtime. But you also notice the extra weight and bulk too.
I admit, I don’t really know of any other lights this size and design.
I’m rather liking the Strive Standard that I won in an OL auction.
You can buy it direct from Lumapower here.
A little pricey at 75 USD but a nice compact light that comes with a small waterproof pelican style case, holster and extra o-rings…
Thanks for bringing this one up ‘Swib’…. nice looking little light! :+1:

F13 is your best and cheapest bet.
