Smallest 18350 light?

congrats, steal of a price

When I compare size I also like to focus on Weight

Armytek Partner C1 specified weight empty is 57 grams

there is also a Niteye Eye 10, spec 48 grams w clip

left to right
Ti S Mini 29 grams wout clip, 32 grams w clip, PT16 does not weigh 40 grams, it actually weighs 52 grams, or 57 grams with the new pocket clip, RRT-01 actual weight is 48 grams empty, w clip

The PT-16 is 2.75” tall and 1 1/8 wide, so shorter, lighter (w out clip), but fatter, than the Armytek

The Sunwayman T16R is the same weight as the Ti S Mini, and almost as short, but fatter.

Wuben E345 and such?

Nice 2-stage twisty.

Wuben website says 16340 and no mention of 18350 compatibility. Diameter of 21mm makes me think it’s unlikely it will accept 18350.

55 grams. :smiley:

Certainly not new, but I didn’t see it on the list yet:

NiteEye Eye10.

Not the smallest @ 80mm x 24mm, but it’s a cool little rotary that will take 18350s. :beer:

Dough! Yeah, 16340 only, just like the Jet-II. Was thinking for some reason it took an 18350, too.

I know I got something that takes an 18350, but Hell if I can recall what.

I agree. Eye10 is the same as the RRT-01 except there are 11 detents on the Eye10 ring. I like detents, they allow repeatable light levels, the infinite RRT-01, can never be set to the same level twice. And the Eye 10 is still available, the RRT-01 is no longer for sale new.

Anyone know the lightest headlamp / right-angle 18350 or 14500 light?

Oddly it’s hard to find a body lighter than the h03 at 44g, and that’s for an 18650!

Would like to bring overall weight down though and use a 14500 or 18350 instead as the battery.

I don’t know about the weight but last time I was on the Illumn site they had the Thrunite TH20 on sale for $25. It takes a 14500 I believe.

if you add the 45gm for an 18650, that H03 comes to 89 grams

the 18350 Armytek Tiara (48gm), plus an 18350 (21gm), totals 69 grams

Highly recommended: Armytek modded to High CRI from Clemence

Here is a post about the quad E21A mod

and a pic of some of Clemences Quad E21A 2000k, being tested in a light of mine (not a Tiara)

not exactly “B”LF, eh?

I like my TH20, but from what I have read it is not very light compared to other headlights. Don’t have any specific data for comparison, I am sure Thrunite has the weight listed on their website.

Maybe this ?

Ran across this. Andrew and Amanda have the Nitecore EC11 on sale for $39.00 right now. Don’t know for how long.

I’m sure someone could easily make a flashlight as small as the lux-rc minion.
All it takes is a small cylinder with the LEDs on the driver PCB and a piece of glass.
No optics or anything, just a mule.
Using flat LEDs like XP-L HIs or black flats could reduce the height even further.

But for some reason nobody does it. :frowning:

If only they made a version of the S Mini sized for 18350. Le sigh.

A nice challenge for CRX !

:smiley:
Smallest 18350 light I’ve made was the copper & aluminium triple with FET driver & tail clicky.

Length – 60 mm
Width – 25 mm
Weight – 97 grams (with cell)
Max – 1400lm

update, I disagree with my former self

I tried an Eye10 and the detents are inconsistent and not spaced to my liking

it has given me a new appreciation for my RRT-01 smooth ramping dial… maybe I should try some hi cap IMR 18350… hmm

I think one of these protected button tops might be good… the flat top version does not work in the RRT-01
pic is a link to review

Can anyone confirm if these fit the RRT-01? (not too long?)

they are for sale here:
