Thanks for trying
Trustfire TR-J12
3 x 26650 as per specs OR 4 x C (no spacers required).
Need to add one of these in order to run it off 18650/26650 I have run it on all three battery types.
Cool looking light, but I think the J12 would be shorter
Maybe, the long original tube runs 5 C’s and the short tube runs 2 X 18650 / 26650 but c’s won’t work in the short tube because length is sort of in-between, if that makes sense.
5 c cells with extender? That’s not all that bad, looks like its already 5c without the extender on the link
Oh yeah, looking again its a 5 c light, so 26650 batteries would only work on dummy cells?
Assuming 65mm per LiIon cell and 50 mm per C cell, a 3x26650 light would have internal space of 195mm. Four C size cells would require: 4x50= 200mm of space. That’s prett much a perfect fit! I messaged Hank from Intl-Outdoor asking about the Roche F-22 and and he said I can order two extension tubes if I wanted. Wouldn’t doubt if you could order extension tubes for other single/double LiIon, 26650 lights as well.
When the money rolls around, I’ll deffinitely buy an F-22 with two extension tubes.
Its not an extender, IT is a different tube itself. Sorry for not being clear
Curious, but why would you want a light to work on C cells and 26650’s?
Flexibility! =)
Agreed, I like lights that can use both rechargeable Lithium Ions and batteries I can get from a gas station.
Lol I prefer to use it as a reason to buy a new light. Yeah know what that uses other batteries
I don’t bring my lithium rechargeables to camping, I’m just thinking I’d like a monster light that can work on regular batteries for a bug out bag that isn’t a maglite
It’s just nice to be able to use primaries in a pinch
Because I don’t have 26650 cells now but do have C cells. Just in case there is a black out for days and only C size cells are available in stores… As Shopbot said “flexability”
I have a tr3t6 from manafont wich works with 2 or 3 18650 or 4xAA or 3x16340(cr123a). This is what I call flexibility.
But I have not found this with a number bigger cells yet.
I’m quite happy with the J12 running on C batteries, I have the J18 as a beast light so there’s no temptation (of it needing to be full out)
Plenty of light for dog walking or for scaring off unwanted hoolagens.
So would a 3C mag converted to run a 8.4v driver and LED work with both 3Cs and 2*26650?
Might use one drop in for 3C and another for 2x 26650.
