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.

Can anyone tell me if this light has LVP? Protected or non protected cell recommended. The SC26 will be my first 26650 light, any cell suggestions? Thanks.

Interesting. I tried both cells on both lights (before I removed the top cover) and neither of them worked. When I switched to the smaller 26350 with the bigger contact area, neither light had any issues. With the cover removed on the 26650, both of them also work. I think I’m only going to mess with one of those batteries and clean up the top a bit so there is nothing that is near the contact space. I’ll just use the other battery for the upcoming Emisar D4S.

Interested if it’s still available. Thanks.

some tints/colors already sold out i see, so send freeme in the first post a pm that u want a code and he will send u one for banggood :slight_smile:

Sitting outside last night, enjoying a bourbon and a cigar, I noticed my SC26 has a different anodizing on the body. It seems to be less glossy than the rest of the light. Anyone else notice this on theirs?
