Are there any single 26650 lights with XHP70.2/50.2 with a side switch?

Pretty nice, but head is not big enough.

Eagletac TX3G Pro:

What about this tube: L6/L2 short tube

Holy smokes! I did not know there was a shorty tube for the l2 and l6! I needa check if my light’s driver will work with a singe 26650.

You can run 2-26350’s but not a single cell on the stock driver.

can someone tell me what a FET driver is? im a noob but dont want to open up a new thread for the question. sorry, dont mean to sidetrack thread, forgive me OP

MOSFET is a component which switches the battery directly to the LED, so the current is an equasion of LED voltage and how much the battery can deliver at that voltage

So you have to select LED and batteries to stay within safe currents

Dang too bad they didn’t make a short tube in the silver color. I have the silver l6.

I’ve been wondering why there aren’t more single EDC 26650 lights out there. So many 18650’s. That extra capacity makes a 26650 light much more useful.

I’d love to squeeze two 26350s in there and still get the voltage you’d need for the emitters. Mtn has them and they’re 35.2mm long. About the length of a protected 26650. Way less selection in battery types though.

I have the Imalent DN70 and really like it! On board charging! OLED status screen. It comes with a 26650 battery as well. I got mine with a code from Trevi for $50!! It’s a remarkable little palm size light.
Klarus G20 is a great palm size floody light!
A budget option is the Kaidomain C8.2 with XHP 50.2. It is standard with tail switch control only but it’s under $30 shipped (normal price with no codes). I have many KD lights and find them excellent quality!
Slightly larger and with the XHP35 instead of 50/70 are the Manker U21 and the Utorch UT02. Throwers not floody though…

I own all of these lights and can HIGHLY recommend any of them.

There’s a cheap single 26650 side switch XHP70 light on AliExpress somewhere.

Let’s see if i can find it.

(edit) ah, you asked for .2 versions… sorry…
(edit2)…and a decent sized head… :person_facepalming: never mind then…

I already have the kaidomain 50.2. It’s a decent light. But orange peel reflector, so not the throw I’m lookin for. U torch and manker u21 has the throw but not the lumens.

So I ended ordering a short tube and smooth reflector for my l6 and it kicks ass.
It has a few driver so it’s doing around 7000 lumens and 175kcd. The head is quite larger than I was wanting, but it should do for now.

The Fitorch P26R is a nice 26650 light and there is good coupons around for it too. OP reflector though

there is a KD (KDLitker) c8.2 with smo reflector

Yup your right. They came out with generation 2. Maybe I’ll try one.
Kaidomain if you reading, how bout putting a 70.2 as an option also. 3500+ lumens smo reflector is a for sure purchase.

I also have an L6 with SMO and FET driver. It’s running Narsil. I like it a lot, but it’s a bit large and heavy so I made a mini version!

I took a Supfire L5-S as a host and used the same driver, same UI, a leftover xhp70 and some 26350 cells. It originally had a SMO reflector, but I changed it to a OP to better match the xhp70.

I’m going to make a new one soon due to Lexel coming out with a boost driver. I’ll use a 70.2 and a SMO reflector this time. I’ll limit the boost to about 5A or 6A at 6v.

BTU PK26

Rofis MR70

If we are just listing lights (big head or small head, here is my list.

BTU PK26 $55, XHP35 HD, 2000lm, pulls 6 amp at battery for 1.5 amp at emitter, has nice dbl click from off to turbo then single click to off, switch might need reinforcing, uses 12v emitter (might be too focused) (swapping to xhp70 12v would give 2500lm)

Shadow JM35 $45, CREE MTG2 1x26650 1800lm

Fenix PD40R $129

Olight R50 Seeker Pro $120-$140, xhp70, 3200lm (tested 2850lm), 250m range, 1 amp charging. ($160 LE kit adds 3A charging dock and holster)

Olight R50 Seeker, $120, xhp50, 2300lm, 280 range, 1 amp charging, included battery is 4500mah. No holster.

Olight R50vn Seeker, $135, xhp50, 2800lm, 350 range, 1 amp charging, included battery is 4500mah. Better warranty from Vinh.

Acebeam EC50 GEN II $120, xhp70, 3000lm, 300mm range, 2 amp charging,

Acebeam EC60 $120, xhp35, 2000lm, 600m range,

Jetbeam T4 Pro, $120, xhp50, 2580lm, 286m range, 1.7 amp charging,

Imalent DN70 $50-$100, xhp70, 3800lm, 325m range, 1 amp charging, quality control is a bit iffy.

Klarus G20 $80-$100, xhp70, 2-3000lm, 150m range, switch too easy to turn on by accident, less than rated output, might make humming sound, no support from Klarus.

You could also just buy a manker u21/utorch ut02, they are pretty cheap right now, and just swap in a driver (30mm I think) and emitter.

Oh yeah, Manker also has a new U22, it’s a little smaller than the u21. Astrolux also has a similar sized light coming out. These two use 20700 or 21700 sized batteries. Pretty interesting.

Just tossing it out there in case you need it. Lol
