My little 16340 is still in among my future lights to mod.. The screw in pill is probably the thinnest I have ever seen. The aluminium bit below the emitter is about 1mm thick. Its not that mod friendly IMO. When that is said. Less than 5$ is pretty good value.

The STL-V6 have a hollow pill and a large MCPCB (32mm?), atleast if its the original. You can not replace the MCPCB with a 20mm Noctigon. Unless you do like I and build a copper pill inside it. If its the "original driver" its easy to resistor mod to 5A. The price is very good, but I never understood why the light was so expensive in the first place. I know many like/liked the light in the past, but I actually preferred the ZY-T13 over the STL-V6..

I picked up four of the 16340’s I’ll probably put a nanjg driver and a nichia 219 in them.

please tell us rookies what that driver, and LED, will make the light do. More modes, higher lumens? I am aware of the tint factor. Thanks!

I find this one funny

their categories are junk, bike lights has car headlights, head band lights, bike lights, light bulbs and almost everything else under the sun

Also the percentages don’t add up, for example this is not 67% off like the claim

Thanks. Picked up the 16340 and a couple of the 502Bs. Can always use extra toolbox/beater lights, especially for $6.12.

I wonder why their moon missions survive as well as they do
Lets hope they never try to use nuclear power

Ordered 3 of the 16340 lights, thanks.

I wish they would make that 16340 in an 18350 size instead! That would be awesome!

14

Yep!

i bought the 16340 flashlight, i already have one in NW that i like. i also have 2 more; one with a greenish tint that i don’t like too much, and one is more purple, but with a donut in the hotspot. i hope i get one like my favorite one…
i also bought the 3-mode AA flashlight and a 502B, i have been thinking about buying one of those for a while, hopefully the quality is ok.

didn’t need any of those, just couldn’t stop myself from buying them :zipper_mouth_face:

Thanks for the heads up! Love tiny little 16340 lights!
Looking forward to everyone’s thoughts/ experiences with this one. Also, never bought from lightcastle, perfect place to start - 4 dollar order….curious to see if I will be buying more from them.

eta: I think I see the BLF effect in action!

I have said NO to the Convoy L4 for several days now! NO NO NO. Yea, I want one BUT …. I have several C8s already. It’s a great light, at a great price, and they have sold like 50 of them to us. I’m still saying NO! I even filled out the website order page and put in the coupon code, but closed the page before ordering it , that’s the secret!

I want the Niwalker Nova MM15 for $220, over 5000 lumens! Hoo-yah!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
