Thanks betweenrides, wish we got defiant brand over here
It certainly sounds like a good potential mod host, it should take one 26650+ spacers, might get to keep it up at 3a for a while that way and retain the 3c capability 8)

A few more photos I took:
Driver = 20mm
Reflector Diameter:
Reflector Depth:
Shot in my hand (for size);
Rough Whitewall shot (taken with my phone, for what it's worth, distance to wall approx. 10 feet):
By the way, it was 1°F outside today at the site I worked at. Windchill at -15°F. Wasn't too bad really, so long as you dress for it. I usually jump at the opportunity to get out of the office into the field, but last night I was questioning my sanity at doing so this time!

(P.S. I'll try to come back with current draw on NiMh cells at a later time. I might have to charge them up first though.)
Thanks for the pics! Fortunately my local HD didn't have them, so I still have 20 some bucks in my pocket :)
Oh, man....that thing is SO getting cut down to 1 x 26650....
Yep, I’m pondering 2 different builds- IF I can find one that is!
lflex plus 3 nimh c cells
lflex plus 1 26650 cut down body
I guess I should have measured inside battery tube diameter and tried a 26650 cell for fit? Sorry. Wait! I have a 26650 (protected TF Flame) at work I can try! Be right back!
EDIT - Nope! Won't fit. Would have to bore the tube slightly. It can probably be done, but the tube isn't very thick. This would look like a monster in a single 26650 configuration!

Dang it.
Thanks, Garry.
That’d be pretty sick w/ 26650. I wonder who I need to talk to at “Defiant” 8)
Thanks for posting information Gary, again I think that you are intentionally making me want to spend more money!!! JK J) :bigsmile:
I'm just trying to enable provide information to you. :)

Wow, this looks good. Is it really as good a thrower as HD2010???
If so I would be really interested in getting one, I plan to use my nimh with a C adapter to power this up.
If I get a chance I'll try to compare to my Small Sun ZY-T08 (similar throw to an HD2010). I bet it's close. And it would make for a heck of a mod with a 3.5A driver and XM-L U3 or XM-L2 (or XP-G2 @ 2.5A)!

Went there over lunch,
none to be found in the aisles with the deals displays,
and none by the flashlights (which were near the power tools area)
I assume this one is the old one ?
Defiant 500 Lumen Tactical Flashlight
What’s the SKU for the light of this thread ?

639226
Yes, that's the old one.

None at the store in Owingsmills MD. Gonna try the store in Westminister this weekend.
I snagged one at Home Depot today. They were in an isle stand next to the padlocks. A quick check showed over 530 lumens when first switched on. After a couple of minutes of futzing it was at 483 lumens. So, Defiant looks to be a heck of a lot more honest than Coast (Coast G20 for $3 at Home Depot). I’ll try and do a full test run tonight.
Went to 2 HDs in Orange County. One in Costa Mesa (maybe santa ana) and one in Fountain Valley. Nuthin.
I seriously doubt we will get this item up here. |(
I really would like one (or two) of those. It looks really cool and that deep reflector… it has to have a wicked throw.
None in our HD. I'm so glad, I did not need anything else to mod.
