Missed the Yezl Y3 GB? No worries! Check this out! :) (you can buy separate extension tubes too)

Again — single cell, I use KK 26700’s — longer than any 26650 protected cell around. Even the MOLI 26700 I’ve fit in a Y3 and used. Once you plug in an extender, different story… It’s the extenders, not the single cell light.

Agree
Ordered 3 extensions. Want to use three KK26700 in the Y3. Will modify/machine the last extension to allow for extra length. If the last extension ever shows up in the mail. It’s been almost 6 weeks since I ordered.

6 weeks is bad - close or at the PP cutoff. I'd open up a dispute within 2 days of the limit.

For me, 6 weeks to arrive in Italy is normal, unfortunately :~

Arrived!! It took 25 days, not so bad
The extension tubes where inside the same pack of the flashlight…So the second tracking only for they was not my.

I put 1xC Alkalines battery, but it is too short. Put 4xC Alkalines (2 not fresh, 2 new) the flashlight blink, unusable. Put 3x18650 and it run very well! I’m waiting 1x26650, can’t wait

But, I’m asking if it does not run with 4C Alkalines, with the others 3 extension, so others 3/4 battery, it will run or it will blinkies?

My extension tube arrived... before Yezl Y3. Damn.

First try 4x fresh.

Mine from GB CNQG, with 2 extension, works fine with 4xC fresh alkalines (Duracell). I guess if you add more batteries work best, not exceeding 8xC (total).

[willie]

I get the blinkies with fresh 4 NiMH C (4.8 volts). It’s the low voltage 2 battery lithium warning signal. Guess I’ll have to get a total of 5 extensions and run 8 NiMH batteries or use a dummy of some type.

So to confirm, you’re running 2 extensions and fit 4 c cells?

[fellfromtree]

Yeah 4 C cells work, but you need to add in a spacer.

It is not necessary.
There are about 8 mm to the edge, but spring compensates.

I concur, button top Tenergy NiMH required no spacer but with 4.8v did have blinkies due to low voltage 2 cell lithium warning.

[fellfromtree]

Rattles though… It’s better to stick in a spacer

@fellfromtree

Yes. But… Although we add a spacer, it will continue the rattling. We need to add spacers in diameter…

Good old toilet paper roll trick should help.. https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/7208

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.

Is this light still very good bang for the buck?
I am looking for a thrower to add to my stash.
If i order this with 2 extension tubes and run (2) 26650’s, roughly what is the run time on this light?

[willie]

Most excellent flashlight. Stock on two batteries it pulls a little over 1A. So roughly about one hour per 1000ma of battery. So a pair of 4000ma batteries (two cells)will give just under 4 Hours on high. A pair of 6000ma batteries will get about 6 hours. Be warned mod fever is strong on this flashlight.
