I visit Reddit r/flashlights very often, I’m more than happy to report any of Simon’s uploads.

Uploading pictures here is a troublesome thing. I have to upload the pictures to flicker first, and then copy the link to post here.

I use imgur (https://imgur.com), which is much quicker as you can copy and paste images or drag and drop them. You still have to copy the link to post here but it’s much simpler.

Simon, I received your new M3C today the one without a head spring. Spring tension on the 26800 with extension and the 26650 with the body tube only is mild to weak. On moon mode a mild tap will turn it off. Other modes it flickers. My quick fix so far is to remove the retaining ring. Press a P60 outer dropin spring into the hole along with the supplied tail spring. It fits very snug but a longer stronger tail spring is needed.

Yes, there is a similar problem with the S11 spring. I put a vertically switched flashlight on the table and it switches the mode.

There is a possibility that this is a temporary solution to the problem. The spring will squeeze again over time and everything will repeat itself. I think need a more powerful spring or a double spring for flashlights with heavy 26650 batteries.

from Simon’s FB profile”

Can Simon please confirm?

[PiercingTheDarkness]

It looks wicked. I hope there’ll be an adapter for a 21700/26650 because I can’t get a 26800 in New Zealand. I can get the light shipped with one, but no spares are possible

[Pilotboy]

Those cooling fins look even more aggressive than on the L7! :+1:

I held off on the L7 because it is a little too big. But this…….

[dthrckt]

I would buy that (but not in silver).

But but but so shiny.

[dthrckt]

Can’t wait for the first 2x26800 - this seems like a good candidate.

Yes, it’s a sample ,but the driver is not good ,
it’s a FET driver, The manufacturer claims that the maximum output can reach 25A, but when I measured it was only 19.2A

spring can soldered on the the 26mm plate, The area used for welding the spring on the driver is too small, and I cannot find a suitable spring that can withstand large currents.

[PiercingTheDarkness]

Maybe talk to BlueSwordM about his high current springs, together they can handle 21A. Maybe they will fit

Looks good, that’s your biggest reflector yet. Any chance of a M3 or L2 size head for us pocket rocket people?

[JaredM]

L2 pocket rocket? Haha

Those are some extra Texan pockets

[Souldrop]

Any ETA on the IR lights? Thanks!
