New to the forum and I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction. I’m wondering if there are any other lights out there that are like the streamlight ProTac 2L. I like that it only takes 2 cr123a and the diameter of the body is roughly 3/4 of an inch. I don’t need the option for 18650s.
Welcome to the forum.
I can’t help you find the light you want, I only use 18650 flashlights (when browsing for streamlight ProTac 2L I saw it and thought a Convoy S2+ would be nice for you, but not the right cell)
is it the small diameter you like?
yes. while still using a decent cell. As well as the rear clicky switch.
I’ve actually considered the blf a6 as an 18650 light. I currently have an olight s20r that has the faulty switch issue. But both are just a little bit bulkier than I’d like therefore the search for a 2x cr123 only light.
Thanks guys
Its funny you mentioned the A6. I was going to recommend that or the astrolux s1. I have the streamlight pro tac 2L, and I haven’t used it since I purchased my BLF A6. Yes it is a little bulky, but if you get the 18350 tube for it, its perfect. that’s why I braught up the s1, cause it comes with both tubes. The convoy is probly also a good choice but I don’t currently own one soi can’t vouch for it.
Streamlight Protac 2L dimensions:
- Length - 4.68 in. (11.89 cm)
- Head Diameter - 0.90 in. (2.29 cm)
- Barrel Diameter - 0.77 in. (1.96 cm)
I don’t know of any 18650 or 2 x 18340/CR123a flashlight that can match the Streamlight’s slim form.
Would you consider any 2xAA flashlights?
Yeah, I guess seeing that there really aren’t that many 2 cr123 only light like the protac maybe a light that will take a single 14500 or aa would be the way to go. I’ll be poking around to see what I can find.
Thanks again guys
Found this one: Small Sun ZY - C64
15cm x 2 cm / 5.90 in x 0.79 in
2 x 14500 _ 800 lumens
2 x AA _ 300 (?) lumens
On sale right now for $5.58.
I’m not sure I’d run it with 2 x 14500. I think it will get hot awfully fast and it has only a single mode (On or Off).
Have you considered the Olight S2 ?
18650 for the autonomy and power, 900 lumens OTF and a slim design.
I LOVE mine
