No problem. I’ll get some measurements up sometime this weekend as time allows.
EDIT ADDED MEASUREMENTS OF REFLECTOR FOR Cula
The diameter of the reflector at head end at widest part is: 46mm
The diameter at the base of reflector before it steps down to the centering area is: 25mm
The overall length of the reflector from top to bottom is 41mm* If you remove the centering spacer take away another 1mm from that making it 40mm
Hope that helps, if more measurements are needed let me know and I can get them when I can.
What cells have you tried? Any fitment issues? Can you measure the tube ID?
.
That would be unfortunate, but cells can vary slightly as can tubes, let’s see what D_Pierre says. I wouldn’t have a problem doing a slight reaming of the tube if necessary. My LK Lii-50A meausre 26.7mm at their widest point.
That green one sure looks great. Love the shape and size of this flashlight.
Got me thinking on how to mod this one….
I would replace the driver for sure but also want to keep charging possibility. Is there a way to keep this driver only as a charging board and piggyback another driver on top? Which components should I remove (those which power the Led) and which to leave (to keep the charger function)?
Spent sometime with the light. Ramping time will take you 1s-1.5s to reach "High" (~70%) from lowest (visa- versa). However, if you ramp up to Turbo, it will take you rough 6s to ramp down.
I think the “Turbo Momentary” is like the “Tactical” setting on the Q4 where the light remains on as long as you hold the button down. Press the button and it’s on turbo. Release it and it’s off. I guess you can signal that way.
Any cell with a protection circuit is going to add to the length. Here’s an unprotected flat top in the Maeerxu. I’d be worried about crushing the springs with anything longer. I think it was made this way to keep the light as short as possible, and has low voltage protection so you don’t need protected cells. Just like the Emisar lights.
Robert, exactly what unprotected flat top cell is that? Apparently there’s an issue with diameter, as the unprotected flat-top Littokala’s won’t fit (too wide).
This is an iJoy 26650 purchased at Liionwholesale in Phoenixville, PA
This Aspire 26650 would work fine too. I think both the iJoy and the Aspire are made in the same factory.
I can’t imagine Littokala puts a wrapper on the cell that thick. Even a protected cell is going to be wider because of the copper connection strip and kapton tape running up the side of the cell under the wrapper.
My M8 measures 26.79mm ID.
And you can see how much longer a protected cell is. This is an Acebeam 5000mAh protected 26650
