<4" 18650 lights

This is the info from zeroair review:

Rarely because it’s discontinued. I have the NW version, no need to swap the emitter.

For the Emisar d4v2 I would choose the e21a that comes with 6 Amp regulated driver. I would also consider the Skilhunt m200. A little longer than 4” but still very compact and can put a good amount off sustained lumens.

That’s a nice looking light.
Now I want one.

Does it?

5A. My bad. But my point is it produces over 400lm sustained without pwm.

It doesn’t matter if it’s 5A or 6A - there’s no regulation on high mode, output falls off the cliff right after startup and it stabilizes on a measly ~450lm. I know it’s small but those are pretty weak numbers.

Exactly, 5 or 6A doesn’t make any difference. I don’t know many flashlights, so I thought that sustained 450lm for a light of that size and hi cri was good. Looks like a FET+7135 is less efficient.

Stock NW is about 4500K, no high CRI or anything (CRI is pretty low actually).

Nope, bone-stock.

Might be the “MH20W” but the ‘W’ isn’t etched anywhere on it. Wonderfully just-warm-of-neutral, guessing 4500K or so.

Got a coupla other MH20s as spares, but don’t recall if they’re NW or CW.

Yeh, I learned my lesson. Get something, like it a lot, want spares so you don’t have to be without one… GET spares before they get discontinued.

Kewl, so I guessed right. :laughing:

Wanna reinforce the stock? :wink:

My EDC, nice light, neutral tint, plenty of lumens, Anduril, quality battery and USB charging if that matters. :slight_smile:

Thanks Blazer, I have an SC31 Pro, great light, but I'm looking for options 4 inches or less.

I have a Folomov 18650s and a DQG Tiny 18650 inbound, excited to try them out.

Au contraire! My E14III with the 18650 tube is under 4 inches :slight_smile:

Also, my Lumintop HL3A has to be one of the shortest 18650 lights ever made!

Yes someone pointed out my error above, I didn't see an 18650 extension tube mentioned when I looked at the light... thanks for the suggestion!

Yes I did, and then I posted this:

Thanks MascaratumB

Ah, I see it now. As for your question, the E14 is about 3.95 inches according to my measurement.

Edit: and now I see that was already answered as well. Jeez, I need a coffee.
