DQG 18650 EDC--World's Smallest 18650 Flashlight

Thanks for that. What voltage does it drop below 1.5 amps draw?

Hmm can’t get a stable current reading and tell for sure.
If I try with 3.3V it seems to be to low for 1.5A but it’s fluctuating up and down.
It also seems to warm up very quick which makes forward voltage go down and make it pull more current.

I can’t believe this: Been waiting for these for so long, and they arrive at my house today, but REQUIRED SIGNATURE, and no one was home. AARGH! Now I have to wait for another night/day to get them :)!

I so love that when it works… and absolutely hate it when it doesn’t… at least you have a delivery tag… my mailbox had bills in it….

Got mine this morning, from the post office. :bigsmile:

This thing is almost my holy grail of lights.

Almost? How does it compare to your TN31?

N4UD

It’s a lot smaller ! :wink:

Assembled length = 9cm
Body is a simple 7cm ano tube closed at the tail.
6 front threads, an O-ring groove, no tailcap.
Some knurls, steps, and a clip groove and clip.
Very light.

4 coil 1cm high spring is jammed into the base.

The head is 2.5cm long, 2 threads screw on SS bezel, O-ring, TIR.
The pill and driver are behind a partition with the LED poking through a hole.

Colour: kind of olive green/khaki.

Tiny 18650, 3 mode.

Could be my next standard for EDC lights.

More of an EDC then a SC52 or the XIAOZHI?

Hi Guys ,

Here is to inform you that the factory made a mistake when assemblying DQG 18650 O ring,Which makes the beam a bit ringy (as “the” said in his post).

Here is the right way to install Head-O-Ring.

Below is the Optic lens picture, The O ring should be installed to The “Green” position.

Could you please take out the head o ring and install it again? It will make the beam perfect.

It’s very easy. Only 2 steps

1. Take the Head O-Ring off

2. Install the O-ring to Right position.

Thanks
Ric

Are you saying that the O-ring is in one position (green?) and to move it to a different position (blue?)? It’s hard to see the lines on the interior of your drawing.

Edit: Or did you mean to move it from the blue position to the green position? FYI, I don’t have the lights yet, so can’t visualize it :).

Wouldn't the ring in the blue position be a lot smaller though?

No. The O-ring was installed between TIR and bezel, but it should be between TIR and body.

I'm currently testing the effects of this change.. Please stay tuned.

My guess is that it means that now the o-ring is just in front of the tir but should be just behind the tir. (without having received the light )

(edit: you beat me to that _the_ )

Yes. That really helps! No visible rings and wider, smoother, more even flood. :)

Before:

CW updated, NW original:

Both updated:

CW change as mouseover (mouse over for updated):

..and a bonus tint comparison DQG Tiny 18650 CW vs. Olight S20:

Unscrew bezel

Remove TIR lens

Take O ring off the groove on the front of the lens

Insert lens into bezel then drop O ring into place on the back of the lens

Put the bezel back on……done

Yes, it’s much smaller than the Xiaozhi, but not as tactile (not tactical) as the C303.
I don’t have an SC52, but do have these:

DQG AA, 270-T80, Xiaozhi, Convoy S2, DQG Tiny 18650, UF-2100, C303, Ultrafire S5, Small Sun ZY-C1 (16340)

Hi RIC,

Actually, so this brings up a question: The original place where the O-ring was had a groove, like it was meant to have an O-ring there. Since we’re removing the O-ring from the TIR lens, is the water-proofing still intact? Seems like water could enter from the front of the lens?

Thanks, and thanks also for these lights!

Jim
