C-MINI 1x26650 XM_L Flashlight

This light is sweet , I got the nw and it perfect like the shadows nw :slight_smile: very small and very bright , I will check it out tonight;)

Are all 26650 too big for a clip?

Yell

I bet Hank or Rick would deal.

12 units for $29.00 each.

If so I am in for one and I Have a Shadow JM-07 Pro white.

I prefer it’s smallish size over the shadow pro7 :wink: it’s a great built light and worth the price IMHO

Mr.BrightLights,

Would you care to elaborate more on your impressions of this light? Would you care do a review? Even just a mini review? We need more attention on these 26650 lights because they're great candidates to double as 3 x AA lights. If this host was capable of that I'd be all over it!

The driver says 3AA on it.

I have been meaning to get my camera out for u , but for now I can say it’s great sized, about the same size as the 2c cell maglight body only, throw well and is has great clicker on it , is way brighter than my uf 2100 and also brighter than mt uf t 50 , more to come , built like a tank IMHO

So the host fits 3 X AA then? If I can get 3 AA batteries in this thing then it shall be mine!

Well, you need about 24 mm 28 mm at the very least to fit 3 AA batteries, which is smaller slightly larger than the 26 mm width of the 26650 battery. After factoring in a little extra tolerance for the battery carrier (space between the batteries, not carrier wider than the batteries) and fitting the AA batteries you'd be cutting it pretty close if the tube is designed to fit the 26650 very snugly.

EDIT: I goofed with my original measurement. Must have been inadequate lighting. Yeah.. that's it

The battery is not snug side to side , the battery wiggled quite a bit actually , there isalot of tail cap threading as well which was nice and the aprons hoke the battery very snug so no jiggle when tail cap is snug, unfortunately I don’t own a aa holder ;(

I got a holster from ric for it as well,:wink: if u paid shipping I would and to u to check out if u like :slight_smile: or if u sen me a battery carrier I could let u know if it fits and send it back to u?

I don't have one. I would just build one once I have the flashlight in my hand and have the specs. Would you mind measuring the inside diameter of the tube as precise as you can? I'm really curious now!

U forgot I was a watch smith,we live by calipers,lol;). Inner diameter is 27.20. And kingkong 26650 outer diameter is 26.17 mm ,lmk if u need anything else , I may want u to make me one to :wink:

Maybe someone will love this....

Compact for 26650

Pok, that's a pretty slick deal. Thanks for posting.

Oh yeah, YOU'RE the watch smith

Thanks for the precise measurements. I haven't built a battery carrier yet but I'm willing to take on the challenge if I know the tube will fit 3 x AA. That's my kind of mod because it can turn out crappy looking and no one will know since it's hidden

3AAA will fit - the reverse isn't generally true - ie the ID of most 3AAA lights is around 23mm...and the carriers are slightly smaller.

I'd love to hear (and see!) more about the clicky on the c-mini :) I've been wondering about it since I first saw the light listed.

Well, I goofed with my original measurement. What I meant is that 3 x AA requires at least 28 mm (not consider spacing between batteries in the carrier).

Looks like they won't fit!!!

3 x AAA isn't that attractive because that's been done already. It's the 3 x AA format that seems to be rare. If I'm running a light fat enough to carry a 26650 then I want AA compatibility, not AAA.

yes, my mistake - somehow I read AAA - I was kind of wondering why anybody would want that lol

It’s really hard to explain the clucky , it’s so smooth, no rubber boot just slick and like pressing the on off switch on your cruise control button if it’s on your turn signal thingy? Make since ?

yes, that's what it looked like - is it waterproof?
