The link was sent to me by another member. It might be a good host for an MT-G2. I have not ever looked at one, but the lens looks like AR coating to me. If the pill is solid, it mught be a good one.
Just an FYI, the price isn't bad right now and it's in the USA warehouse.
I cant post pictures in this forum for some reason, but I was at my local Home Depot and they have 3C Defiant Flashlights for $16 bucks. They are 3C with a 48mm Optic and side button.
2 Protected and IMR 26650 cells fit perfect inside the diameter of the light. The heatsink is typical screw out. I purchased it just to recycle the Optic but for those looking for a 2*26650 host that would be perfecto.
^ Although that is good info on the Defiant, it doesn't come close to comparing to this light. Mostly due to the 66mm head which means much more reflector surface and heat sinking.
Do you have a DST? If you do could you check to see if the battery tube fits the DST? If it does, will you post that it does in this thread?
Oops. This is why the automatic region settings makes me make boo boos.
This thing, shipped to Australia is US$46.81. If I change the shipping destination to the US, price comes down to US$19.36. That is definitely a good price!
Thanks OL, I just grabbed one and will report my findings as soon as the mailman throws it at my house. Poor guy is probably sick and tired of all those stupid little packages he always has to carry around for me.
While I havent thrown one together yet, the battery tube from this light screws directly into the DST, which should work well for 2 x 26650. The factory DST tube wont accept these chunky cells. You can still find the legendary DST on ebay fairly reasonably, and RIC carries the AR lens. It looks fairly descent with the gold tube/black head combo, and you gain a tail clicky.

You sure about that the tube fitting? I think I tried that combo once and thought they matched too, but Ohaya pointed out the threads were different. When I looked closer, there did have different thread patterns. Pretty sure it was the light you linked to above.
Sorry about continuing the derailing of your thread O-L. I think the that host in the OP will be a real nice with an MT-G2. If I didn't have so many similar lights, I would definitely be in.
