Your post made me look at the trit slots again - found 3 very shallow - 2 almost deep enough - 1 in between - so much for QC

I know what you guys like. Blf gt style firmware…

Update on UI issues.
I decided to just try an 18650 instead of the one I had (Accreate Practical GTF 3.7V 26650 8800mAh Lithium Battery).
Seems to work better, at least not going into strobe all the time, don’t know how it affects the light otherwise but seems to ramp.
Maybe the 26650 cell I was using is no good??
Maybe you guys could weigh in on this, give it a try and report back??

Mine ramps just fine regardless of battery. I’ve got one with a 26650 and one with a 26350. Haven’t even found strobe yet.

I haven’t tried my light with a 26350 yet, but it ramps fine. It’s not the best UI but I don’t think it’s that bad, but it could be because I saw how bad it could be in the MT09R. The SC26 could be improved upon but for me I can live with it fine.

Both of mine work fine. Ramping is not as smooth as an Emisar or other BLF ramping lights, but better than other companies are producing. How do you even get to the strobe? I have used a 26650, 26350, and 2x26350. No issues.

Just ordered one blue XHP35 HI NW!

Thank your for your support!

what trits can be installed on this light, and can u buy them on banggood? can we see pics…

Also which version is best HD/HI ? i still dont know which to chose, for more flood or throw ?

Also is anyone tryied using the Liitokala black 26650 in this light and can confirm its working? I have 2 thats just collecting dust so for this light they could work?

Lii-50A is supported.

I used it with black liitokala 26650 lii-50A, all works very well :smiley:
Ramping is not as smooth as on my Q8 but still very good and I like it :sunglasses:

ok great idecided, i placed order for 1 x Color: Brown Design: XHP35 HD NW

wow i placed order lastnight and banggood already marked it shipped, impressive they are really working fast these days with shipping orders so quick out.

Just a quick note:

The battery tube diameter is very tight for Blue LiitoKoala battery . It’s very tight and the sticker get scratches on the side as you push the battery in.

The newer version of LiitoKoala (black colour) fits perfectly.

LiitoKoala makes non-standard 26650.

So I got to tinker with my white sc26 over the weekend. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to take bad pictures with my phone. I made a spacer to use a tir optic, carclo 10755. However, I ended up going back to the reflector as I liked the beam profile with the reflector better, using an xhp35 led. I think the beam profile with the tir will be much better with a bigger led, so I’m going to save it for a future sc26 build when the new boost drivers are released from mountain or lexel. I’m thinking it’ll look good with a xhp50.2 high cri led.

I still ended up swapping out the led, since I’m not a big fan of the egg yolk center spot. I swapped out the led to a XHP35A-H0-0000-0D0HC445E, 4500K 80cri, and now the egg yolk is gone! But now I have a mild green tint shift going away from the center of the beam. I guess I’d prefer the green over the egg yolk if I have to pick my poison, but at the least it’s only mild. I will say that there was no tint shift that I could notice when I had it set up with the carclo optic.

Has anyone experienced the Shockli 26650 button tops not working for the SC26? It appears that the white plastic top cover is interfering with the connection. I removed the white cover on one of my batteries and now it is working. See photo. Anyone think that this could be potentially dangerous? The white cover didn’t exactly peel off cleanly (like they do on some 18650s), but is kind of jagged.

I didn’t experience issues with the 26350 as it has a clean connection and isn’t a button top.


Hm weird its not working since it has a button top? its to small to make contact i dont get it. Well i wouldnt use a battery if i had too remove some of the plastic looking like that. U should just buy a different battery instead with a wider metal at the top.

I use that same cell with the small button top and mine is working. I did take a closer look at the spring attached to the driver board and noticed that it doesn’t taper down to a small area and it appears that the small end of the spring that takes a right angle is all that is touching the end of the battery. Perhaps a small blob of solder on the end of the spring would help create a wider area and make it easier for your cell to make contact.
