Hi, I have a shooter on hand (a sample) and the head size is exactly the same. The ones I’m selling here just have a longer body tube to accommodate 2x26650’s.
If you are interested in the smaller shooter I can sell you the sample I have, its in good overall shape but has one tiny nick in the front bezel. I’d sell it for $35 shipped (USA only).
I would go with this driver myself as you can hide the blinkies, its also current controlled on all modes (no pwm) I’m just going to have a look how much this host is because I like the look of it a lot.
Just received my TorchLite 2x26650 today. Aside from having to purchase an LED and driver for it, I’d say this light is easily worth much more than what we’ve paid here.
The anodizing is flawless with anodized tail threads too, but does need some lube. I can already tell this light will have great heat dissipation with all the contact area the way the pill screws directly into the handhold. The handhold then screws into the head which has a great deal of very fine threads. It actually takes a bit of time just to unscrew it from the head.
The reflector is very deep also, much more than my Small Sun ZY-T16. It’s about 51mm deep and about 46mm at the widest point. Should make a heck of a nice thrower with a high end Nanjg driver.
Here you go. The actual reflector simply drops into the head, then the bezel is screwed on. The Torchlite is also about 30 grams heavier than the Small Sun ZY-T16.
Lol! I was just sitting down to write that exact post!
My host should be here early next week. I’d like to get a driver and LED combo that will really make use of the 2x26650 batteries. I can weed through the various reviews and sites, but I’m sure the DIY Gurus here have some particular units that have risen to the top…
That first one is the one I was going to order myself, but as previously mentioned, it’s out of stock. So I’m going to take a look at what Kaidomain has on hand. However, according to the specs for the pill, either would have worked. Just keep within the following specs and you’ll be fine.
so, the burning question is: should a rank amateur such as myself pick this project as a first flashlight project? can you get suitable leds that are already soldered to a star to use in it? think beginner here. thanks. i would love to have a hopped up 2x26650 light on my telephone stand.
As long as you can do some simple soldering, I don’t see it as a problem. You can easily purchase an LED mounted to a star already, which I’m sure is what most will do. For example, I want my XM-L to have a warm tint, so I’m going to go with something like the 20mm version of this XML from CNQualityGoods.
