Wuben E345 and such?
Nice 2-stage twisty.

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.
Any new players in this segment since last year?
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.

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

A nice challenge for CRX !
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:
18350 Keeppower P1835C2 1200mAh Protected Button Top
Price: USD 7.49
Probably too long. I made a custom flat top protected for my 01, very tight fit.
I had to grind the tail pin down and alter the RvPo ring to make it fit.
I could be wrong though, would be best if you could measure somehow with the cells you have and thin spacers?
