Just messing with ya buddy. I actually like that idea too. It sounds ridiculous therefore I love it.
I don’t think a short tube or a 2 x 18650 length tube would be too hard to achieve. The 18350 is kind of a no-brainer. All of our C8 lights will work just fine running on an 18350 just with shorter run times and we all have happy little stumpy throwers. :+1:
The double length tube I’d probably want to do a poll on. I don’t want to have Simon make a bunch of these just to sell 10 and have a few hundred collecting dust for the next year.
I know tmart kinda sucks but I remember ordering the stainless bezel keygos ke-2 and Trustfire c8 from them back in the day. My favorite light back in the day was the keygos ke-5. It had a smaller stainless end bezel, it was like a mix between a c8 and an olight m20 warrior.
Only vague recollection, but what about a “foybezel”? Forgot what model, etc., that was for, but The Foy did something like shaving down the pointy things and stripping the ano from a bezel.
Maybe someone who recalls better can fill in the blanks.
I fully agree! Just recently built a C8 with an MT-G2 in it and would love to have an extended tube to run 2x 18650s for some extended runtime and easier access to more higher drain batteries.
Being partial to shiny things, I would rather have a polished SS bezel. But you could also make me happy with a bead-blasted SS bezel or even an anodized SS bezel. And because form follows function, I’ don’t object if it is a bit crenulated.
So this is the first round and I can tell you that Simon doesn’t like it. This is just a test sample and it’s 3mm longer than I asked for, but I figure I’d post a picture to see what you all think. This is one of two designs the second of which is a different style and crenelated though not like the existing bezel. Feel free to comment on this one but keep in mind it’s just a prototype. If this were to see production it would have a few adjustments and I think the crenelated version would look even better. Comments welcome. Fire away…
Yes it need the crenelation, and shorter front. I dont thing the stripes needed. Somehow I feel it like taken off some completely different light. Maybe it will look better on a clear anodized C8.
