DQG 18650 EDC--World's Smallest 18650 Flashlight

It is fantastic that it might have the XM-L2 ! I have no opinion on the cool white tint , but the neutral I would like to see as close as possible to 4000K (so 4000K-5000K).

Any predictions on the price yet ??

just started browsing thru again and i think i need this one

been looking for a small 18650 edc.

Based on the info in Scaru’s excellent Tint, Binning and CRI thread,
I think NW (5000K-5500K).

For NW I vote 4500k! My favourite.

Cool. Thanks for the update. I would be looking for a CW and anywhere in the 6-7k range would be fine.
And yes - please do the XM-L2.

NW tint 3D would be great. 3C was "the" neutral emitter in almost any light but I guess 3D is a little more neutral.

All with the assumption that you get enough LEDs with exact binning..

I dont like CW lights, but 1C/1D (~6500K) should do.

Ric, is a flashlight waterproof IP68?

CW please

Looks cool! Is the clip detachable?

+1

4500k please

Two options: CW 6500K, NW 5000K
XM-L2 would be excellent!

CW at 6500K
NW at 4500K

I’m only gonna say this once, “EDC” and twisty does not compute. An EDC has to be small with a clip (got those right) and needs a clicky. A forward clicky with only one or two modes is all that is needed. A multi-mode twisty is useless in an EDC. Some will disagree but the majority of average users have already decided this issue.

I don’t understand why there are so many lights that have twistys and blinky modes when nobody wants them. All the big sellers today have clicky switches with the exception of the Mini-Mag which is mostly popular based on name and past glory. Everyone I know would prefer a clicky to a twisty and I have NEVER met ANYONE who wanted a strobe or SOS mode on their EDC.

4500K/3D for the neutral, 6500K/1D for the cool white.

That's great news! Are you willing to announce the price yet?

[quote=Ric-CN] DQG 18650 consider using the NEWEST XM-L2 CW / NW emitter. We would like to know your thought about the color temperature.
1: CW (7000K-7500K) or (6500K-7000K) Or (6000K-6500K)
2: NW (5000K-5500K) or (4500K-5000k) Or (4000K-4500K) [/quote]

NW 4500-5000K would be my preference. I don't care about CW, but lowest (6000K) would look best. ;)


I like twisties. I have the DQG AA with two modes. And the Sunwayman V10A. If I liked the look and feel of the M10/M11 more, I would get that because it doesnt have a clicky.

Double Ditto…

it’s the beauty of simplicity. Properly maintained threads will outlast a mechanical switch; and I believe they can deal with higher amperages (<3A) better than most stock or cheapo switches, too.

Put me down for a CW version, pending non-ridiculous price point
