Smallest 18350 light?

You may want to check this: Flashlight Comparison Request Thread - #10 by DrDevil

BTW, in case you prefer longer runtimes, you can get a light that takes 14500 and get some Vapcell or Shockli cells that are above 1000mAh. (more than the 800mAh that the best 16340 has). :+1:

Added a few options for small and light 18350 lights in the chart (in the first post).

Let me know if there are some other new lights I should add.

Let me know if you have any of the missing data points (indicated with question marks)

(or any of the data points for 18650 lights with 18350 tubes, I could not find weights with 18350 tubes often so I included weights with 18650 tube)

Given that the DQG Tiny flashlight is ~87mm long the usefulness of some of the longer 18350 lights is debatable.

Thrunite T1 is a pretty small 18350 light.

69.5 mm long and 26.5 mm at the head.

It’s very lightweight and has a built in charger.

I would love to see an 18350 light similar to the Fenix E16 or Olight S1 Mini. It doesn’t need any more output than either of those two. Just a slight size increase to allow the use of a more potent battery than a 16340.

Convoy S2+ with 18350 tube :)

Ah, I got as far as Astrolux but I do like my short S2

Lightbringer · July 1, 2020, 6:21pm

Actually, with a S2+ shorty, if you swap the reflector for a 20mm TIR lens, possibly have to shorten the springs (easy to replace the spring on the driver with a brass nipple, though), you can even stuff in an 18500 for a bit more runtime.

I did a mod like that many years ago.
Took a Convoy S2+ with 18350 tube:

Filed off the rim around the top of the pill and the top half of the pill threads.
filled off the bottom of the pill to make the pill shorter.
Installed a 20mm triple star and Carclo optic, plus new driver.

The new light fit 18500 and was a triple. It worked well and looked good.

Lightbringer · July 1, 2020, 7:04pm

Yeh, I never got around to doing that with a triple. Could forego using the usual spacer, in fact.

The Amutorch E3S is designed for 20350 cells but will take 18350 so it can go on list.

Although a little fatty, it stands at only 58.8mm.

Here it is surrounded by shorty FW3A (w/18350) and a small 16340 light Klarus Mi1C for comparison.

nice. added.

Bumping to see if any new (and small) 18350 lights have come on the scene in the last year…

Skilhunt H04 Mini RC (right-angle light).
70.9mm length.

sac02 · December 7, 2021, 2:06pm

Thanks, added to the list.

It’s a 16340 but the Trustfire MC1 is pretty small. Its my edc frequently. I just throw it in my pocket and don’t even notice it.
56x20mm
45g w/ battery
1000 lumens
Also takes cr123s
$40

imo, “smallest” = lowest weight

therefore, the winnner of Smallest 18350 is:

Lumintop OD10

27g in weight
