Sadly, that’s very true, seems like a dying breed. (ones with smaller head size) We may have already covered all models currently available in this thread.
Nice, thanks for posting, I’ve been curious about that style light because of the slider switch, I’ve been noticing similar ones with a nice big lanyard slot on the tail, (won’t tail stand though)
I like the Green one (U’King) and the Dark earth color (aliexpress), I also like the blue anodize inner bezel (Think Olight) but I’m not too fond of the blue ring in the middle, could maybe bake it to a more greyish color.
Some of the listings for these show 5500K - Should be pretty close to neutral if it’s true (DV-S9 is showing 7000-7500K)
But I also like the blue/red color and knurling on the UltraFire. It was also noted in that DV-S9 thread that the Ultrafire has a smoother sliding switch (by someone who has both it and the U’King) Plus it can tail stand. Might just have to try one of these.
Maybe, but as he mentioned later in his thread it was only 10mA “Not too bad, probably as much as a lighted tailcap”
He also found it it had the ability to do Tail cap lock out, which works for me, and as you can see in the photo below of the rear tube threads, this one will also have mechanical lock out! Nice!
Thanks, I figured KD. I was looking at it there but it’s hard to make out the color in their photos, did you ask them if it’s grey? Because their description says: “Flashlight Color: Black”
Here’s some grey ones I was looking at (some descriptions call the color “metallic”):
I didn’t ask the specific color. I am fine with grey or black. It’s a good looking flashlight. Similar to the Palight T50 that I also like and the description for the T50 has zoom but it doesn’t clearly say how it zooms. I guess by turning the head.
OK I’m lookin at the A8 now too. It takes a 20mm driver so it’s a candidate for XHP or MT-G2 mod. Same as you I like the whole length same diameter “tube” style and tail switch.
Where are you seeing that Palight listed as zooming? I don’t think that one is zooming:
.
By the way here’s two models of Palight 26650 that are zoomies, and much more like the A8 (whole length same diameter “tube” style.)
The MS600 has an unusual “touch” tail switch. (Smack not touch - see EDIT below photos)
(Currently “Under restocking”) EDIT: would have to check with Banggood but I’m not seeing the M900-s anywhere else now so it may be a thing of the past.
Still worth looking at, being only 100mm in length it may be the most compact 26650 light there is, I can’t think of anything that comes close, especially it being a zoomie too.
I put the Banggood link to it in my post above, nothing about zoomable in their listing, they have a photo of the head unscrewed from the tube, looking at that photo pretty much verifies it’s not zoomable.
The Manta Ray C8.2 looks to be at the top of my new list, it just looks like it has a tad too much material on the light for me to decide on it now.
I am still keeping my eye out for “that light”.
Too bad nobody like Kaidomain sells F13 with a XHP50.2 in it. I would buy a couple. But that looks to be a mod for me in the future.
But the Jaxman Z1 will be my next light with the short tube. I like the even wall of light from the zoomies and the Xhp50.2 should put that wall out there.
The 26650 Edc I am wanting needs to be simple, waterproof, no moving/zooming parts. It will have to be the F13 with a Xhp50.2. That is a great looking light.
Yeah I ordered one back on the 3rd on that deal, I was surprised to see it was still valid when saw your post tonight and tried it. But sometimes that happens (very rarely) but figured I check.
