Is there anything the size of the DQG with USB?

looks like its only cool white led….

BTW, it is XP-L V6, not XP-L HI!
Still, it is Cool White!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look at the reviews :+1:

I ordered the Folomov EDC-C4, I had a balance on my Amazon account and will receive it today! Talk about instant gratification :partying_face:

If I don’t like the tint I might change it for something of my liking.

well,good choice…i wrote them today.sadly,only smooth reflector and only cool white….not for me.but the led could be changed for xml….hm.very interesting light.
its a shame,that the famous Emisar can be used with he max.output only for seconds…fot its money its not enough for me.

Not as small as DQG Tiny 4th, but Jetbeam EC-R26 is pretty small and has USB charging. R26 is smaller than Convoy S2+.

In this pic, DQG is 4th from the right. R26 is 7th from the right.

Still amazed by how small that tiny 18650 is.

Okay, how about a Eagle Eye X2R with a 18350 tube.

Thanks for the suggestion, that light is 122mm long, the DQG is 88mm and the Folomov is 99mm, I really wanted a short 18650 light and apparently the folomov checks on all my requirements + it has a cell charger, will find out this afternoon when I get it.

Let us know how you like it then :wink:

I’ve been on the “eternal” quest for the most compact 18650 (side switch) light for years.

Have held off on the DQG Tiny 4th (87mm) because of reported switch failures.
Zebralight SC64 (92.5 mm) looks great but I haven’t got to the point of wanting to spend $80 on one small light.

I don’t need USB charging but I wouldn’t mind a magnetic docking charging system like on the Olight S2R.
Olight S2R………………. (105mm)…… $72.95 (but it’s too long and also expensive)

.
Here’s the smallest ones I’m aware of with built in USB charging:

Folomov EDC-C4…… (99mm)…….$49.00 Amazon.com
Nitenumen C8………. (99mm)…….$19.99 Amazon.com
Ultratac S20………… (100mm)……$25.99 https://www.amazon.com/UltraTac-Flashlight-Rechargeable-Ultra-Compact-Waterproof/dp/B078WV27B1

Unfortunately none of these offer a NW version.
I’ve been waiting at least five years for Olight to offer a NW version and they still don’t.

.
The Nitenumen C8 appears to be the same body as the Folomov EDC-C4 but with stainless bezel.
EDIT I just realized the Nitenumen the has a large-ish rectangular protruding area for the USB jack, the Folomov doesn’t. But since the switch is directly opposite, it may serve to help readily locate the switch in the dark.

I really like the stainless bezel. I’ve been trying unsuccessfully for days to get clarification from Nitenumen on the UI specifics, but language barrier seems to be an issue. In one of the photos it shows the Strobe and SOS as being “concealed” modes, however a comment in the review leads me to think otherwise.

The Ultratac S20 does have hidden strobe: Ultratac S20

.
I’m really surprised after all these years nothing has come down the pike in the size realm of the DQG Tiny 4th, I probably should just get one already and look into to reinforcing the switch, maybe with glue/epoxy or something as Argo suggested. (glue/epoxy was also brought up several times in the Tiny 4th threads, as well as re-soldering/adding solder to the switch mounting pads)

“fits a wide variety of pro and unpro 18650s”

I like them a lot, the USB charging is very accurate, and the cell is Protected, which is important to me in case I fall asleep with the light on :wink:
https://www.amazon.com/ARB-L18-2600U-rechargeable-charging-batteries-Edisonbright/dp/B01N2KKJXN
Protected, no charger needed, and does not make the flashlight useless while charging. Win Win Win

even you can change the leds….i also dont like the cool white anymore…the “non option” of get a nw instead of cw avoiding me from the buying…

it;s a pain though, if you have to remove the battery, you may as well have a charger too

manker u11 has usb but it is somewhat longer and has {in my experience} a VERY poorly designed and implemented switch
mine broke and is totally unrepairable at least by me

wle

Slightly longer than the U11 and maybe not quite small enough to be relevant in this discussion, however the Manker U12 looks pretty good too:

it’s got that same crappy switch as the u11

the Nitenumen has 5 bright levels? so it mean,you have to go also trough the sos and strobo modes?? oh no…

I’m hoping it’s just the language barrier…

Take a look at photo #6 in the description on amazon (2nd to last photo) It shows Strobe and SOS as being “concealed” modes.

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully for days to get clarification from Nitenumen on the UI specifics, still awaiting an answer about that photo.

.
EDIT: Nitenumen just listed it on their website, and sadly that photo is not showing there.

tha manker u12 has one serious problem…the mcpcb as i heard is not fixed to the heatsink…so,if it rotate inside and also there is not good heatsink…
