26650 tube light that's not an a8

Anyone seen this yet?

My jm07 clone work light has been bugging me for a bit. The pill fit is so poor in the threads I justcant justify the time on it so I decided to try something different……

Now, confession time, I’m hoping the host follows the a8 design its so obviously based on ie 17mm driver 20mm star because that’s whats going in it when it arrives :bigsmile:

Xm-l 4c and 2.8 ish a nanjg two group driver.

So thoughts/opinions please and suggestions of other 26650 single cell lights/hosts ripe for building. You dont need to include zoomies, keygos m10, uf-2220, a8 or jm07, , I’m aware of them :slight_smile: also, for work use a 40mm reflector is enough, a well driven xm-l will mostly live on low, the run time and tint is the key with this light. :bigsmile:

Well I just searched Ebay and found a few. This one popped out to me though. Looks like some decent styling and it's cheap.

EDIT - I know it's not quite a "tube light". It does appear to use a 20mm star, but I bet the driver is a 20mm press-fit.

These one ?

Nice find Gary, I’m on a new blf browsing device so I’ve not set up ebay properly yet……

Looking at the pictures, the driver looks to have a retaining ring ( unless its the pill itself)

Hmmmmm

May have to order that too. Damm you :bigsmile:

That’s the one neckdo, my link not work? :slight_smile:

I’m just thinking, looking at my post count, anyone else smell a give away brewing? :expressionless:

Here is a Romisen, M10 ish, quite cute:

Opps, not “Tube Lights”

if its going to use what garry posted… its smellin pretty good over here :wink:

Here's a search for your viewing pleasure. A few 26650 flashlights that can be found on TaoBao. (about a few hundered different ones?).

Dang Garry thats kind of a good looking light

Damm you Gary……. ordered, less than a tenner, I’ll do an ebay round up I guess :bigsmile:

Flo, the cheapy is what’s being replaced, do NOT buy one unless you have an inclination to self flagellation…… :bigsmile:

I should have been clearer, the tube light was an accident, my prefeeence is for 30 - 40mm reflectors.

The give away is likely to be one of the two lights I ordered.

Must order some more xm-l 4c’s as its my favorite tint at the moment :bigsmile:

No, No, that is a Zoomie, I bought one — not a flat lens flashlight!

Thanks for the link ol, a quick browse and this caught my eye :bigsmile:

You sure? Because I just bought one too and the pictures look like a reflector to me…

It worked for me, but I know how to translate your Ebay Mobile links to “real” links :slight_smile: . I also had to find one that shipped to USA. My only thought on your link was that it seemed like too cheap build quality, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, it was hard to tell if it had a driver retaining ring or not. Get it and post up the build :) .

P.S. - I'm good at spending your money aren't I?

subscribed to this thread… im interested in that host at that price if you can easily mod it :slight_smile:

I’m not seeing the m10 beaten at this price point, if I didn’t have an m10 already, that’s the one to buy, tube wise the a8 is the same.

But I’ve spent less than I would on a steak for these two and I feel we need to redress the BUDGET in budget light forum :expressionless:

Gords, I have to ask - why cant you use an A8? It is arguably the best built 26650 light made for any price. Easy to mod, built like NASA engineered it, rock solid with a beautiful, durable haIII finish. :~

Thats a good looking light you posted gords

It states that is a SMALL SUN ZY-T03
