Gnope. If you’re gonna use 2, you’ll need button-tops. You “can” use small Nd magnets to bridge them, but drop the light and they theoretically can shift and short the positive to the (negative) tube.
Plus, they’re great for up to 3A or so, which is fine for smaller lights, but will limit current to the L6.
Should work fine in lower modes, but…
Or you can try a solder blob to act as a bump, but be careful.

Thanks, I think I may as well just get some good 26650's then.
Yeah, best bet, albeit not the cheapest.
You can still use 18650s, even without sleeves, but they’ll have a tendency to rattle around when the light’s shaken. Otherwise, a thin sleeve (even cardboard from a cereal box ) can be wrapped around the cells a coupla times to keep them centered and somewhat cushioned.

Simon usually includes a clear flower looking rubbery ring, 2 of them (or 4) that are for putting around an 18650 so they won’t rattle in the 26650 tube. They’re usually inside the tail cap or in the package the light came in.
Oh yeah, forgot about them. Got ’em with my L2s, so makes sense that they’d be included with the L6, too.

I don’t think those spacers come with the L6. Maybe the L2 or smaller lights only.
’K, so we’re back to cereal-box cardboard…

Didnt get spacers eithers in mine, but i dont get it why would anyone run this light with 18650? i dont see the point in putting those in a big light that throws almost 4000lumens, longer runtimes is better and the batteries sit tight and no need worry about some cheap spacer…

It’s mainly because protected 26650 cost double the price of protected 18650.
Protected 26650 are also very hard to find right now.

Is the L2 extension tube in Simons link below the same tube as the L6? I need two of these tubes and they
really look the same as the L6 but I want to make 100% sure before I order them.

That looks like an L6 tube, if I’m correct the L2 Tube is made of 2 parts as the L2 can run off 1 or 2, 26650 cells.
In saying that it would still work for both the L2 and L6.
