What? 18350 can get 1100mAh?
It lose runtime for easier to carry. Almost the same cost as SC31 now.
I don’t know people think it worth. But I prefer a smaller 900-1000LM EDC light in pocket and use once a while, 1-3 minutes illumination a time. And I can recharge it any time.
How do you think?
I’d like this light. At a reasonable price (~20$) and with the right UI (click ON, click OFF, not long click) - I’m sold!
Much prefer a smaller light albeit less runtime; but as you said, quick top up w/ onboard charging.
My go to light has just 3 modes at 60, 180 and 320 lumens. Does what is needed when up close work, and then some when outside walking about. It’s custom made 14500 light w/ LH351D - 5000º K
Yes.
@Barry, make this light with the LH351D 90CRI.
And yes, there are 1100mAh 18350s now.
I like the short SC31 too but I like it better if the short battery tube is fully knurled instead of just a small section.
Barry, if this implies that a new batch of SC31 is made, can you do a small change in the user interface? : when the light is off, a long press goes to the lowest mode (instead of breathing switch light). For the breathing switch: triple click on/off with memory.
This would be better for many people here.
A good UI and eventually a shorter overal body would be great!
I use my SP32A with a convoy short tube and the UI (not starting in moonlight mode but still having memory function as the SP10A/B) is the only thing that makes me not use it as much as I’d like!
So, make a right choice and shorter body and you’ll have a nice light! 
EDIT: make it triple!
I actually changed the LED in my sc31 to an sst-20. It’s OK but I think I’m going to put a Luxion v2 in it next. They usually work pretty well where an XPG is used. I like the warmer tints anyway. Great little light with the 18350 tube. Really wish more 18500 lights were out there. I have a lot of 18500’s that are going to waste away.
Barry, how about making some 18500 universal tubes for the SC31, SP32 and SP31? I have about 15 of these lights all together and would buy a few. I think the 18500 makes for a great length for a lot of these types of lights for EDC. Plus you typically get a little better run times with the little bit of extra capacity.
@ Djozz;
That would be a winner, option to enable / disable switch lite.
Personally like the the SP33 UI, but not so the SP10A.
The former works well for a handheld torch (single click ON/OFF, press and hold for modes, double click for turbo + click to return last mode); and the latter because of the long press to OFF which induces errors as Moonlight when returning to pocket. Any other variant without long press to OFF, and a long press from OFF to Moonlight is welcomed
@ HONDARIDER;
I had made some extension with a solid plastic 18mm dia, x 15mm thick stub that I cored and threaded / countersunk screw. Using in one of my lights but not the same capacity as true ’650s.
I have some spacers I bought from overready. They work great but it’s the length of the 18500 that I like. I don’t use my lights a lot through the day or night so runtimes are not a huge requirement for me. At least for EDC anyway.

I would buy at least one.
A kit includung a 1100mah 18350 battery would probably sell well.

@Barry, make a Nichia E21A 5000K version as well please.
I mean all of the work for this light is already done! Just Lego the pieces together, throw in a battery and take our money!
How interesting or viable would be to make it as a triple OR with a shorter reflector and bezel?
Just to make it shorter than the SP32A with a short tube!
this 18350 tube is compatible with SC31, SP32A V2, SP31V2
It’s even compatible with C8T and SP31T. ;-)
Barry, can you please offer the single 18350 tube for sale at Sofirn‘s shop on AliExpress? On TLF I saw that people would like to buy it separately. Thank you!
I’ll buy 4!
I was successful ordering a couple of these short tubes via Sofirn's CS team on AliExpress (Cissy). If you click on "contact seller" you can send them your inquiry. I paid $ 15,80 for 4x SP33 26mm DTP boards and 4x SP40 18350 short tubes including $1 off discount, PayPal marketplace fee and e-Packet shipping. Assuming that all parts are sold for the same price, the battery tube would cost around $ 2,00.
I’d definitely be in for a few.
You don’t want to know how many shorty tubes I have for my S2+es, and in how many colors. :person_facepalming:
