The 26650 Thread

Hikelite · July 15, 2011, 7:44pm

I've been looking all day for a 2x26650 flashlight with a big head. There's of course this

You get a lot of details there.

And there's this http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1145 SSt-50

1300L ? On a different site it was specified that the LED is driven at 5A. I think lumen estimates are not realistic, judging by this recent test https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/2346

And then:

http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1150 XM-L T6

900L . This looks very real as on a different website it was specified 860L at 3A.

These too are both nice lights, and good prices, $57 and $49 respectively . The reflector is 51mm wide, however how deep it is? It seems to make bad ring/loop according to the beamshots.

Maybe some else is looking for a 2x26650 and some extra details might help.

I have finally found out what's the reflector size for these two flashlights, since no one @cnqualitygoods is willing to answer my e-mails.

It's 51mm wide and 30mm deep. I sure looks shallow and probably that's causing that outer ring.

Switch Type:

No switch, put in battery & the flashlight will work

Im guessing this is a twisty, lol. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/fandyfire-bt-qs88-xm-lt6-waterproof-1-mode-1000lm-white-led-flashlight-2x26650-2x18650-4x123a-91661

I LOVE the 18650 adapters though.

The pill / heatsink looks good even if it lacks of mass / volume compared to the one of the original JM07 (on left)

So I prefer the "original" TorchLight / Shadow JM07 and idealy I would buy the one with the bigger head:

The problem is to know if the 55mm reflector for MC-E will "work" with an XM-L.

Hikelite · August 7, 2011, 6:52pm

I do not know if the XM-L would benefit from such a flat area around it, like the reflector of the MC-E Torchlite with 55mm head and it appears to be heavy OP.

If you don't mind the double battery format this would make a better host in my opinion:

Yes, I seen this host a few days ago when I was searching 26650 flashlights but I didn't seen it anywhere else probably because it was discontinued.

(I seen one like this in Taobao but was not sure if it was new or used.)

"Sorry, this item is no longer available!"...

Southern_Aurora · August 17, 2011, 11:34am

Is anyone familiar with this?

vinhnguyen54 · August 17, 2011, 4:44pm

Nice! do you know if the body detach to run in single 26650?

Southern_Aurora · August 18, 2011, 5:48am

Doesn't look like it does.

2100 · August 18, 2011, 5:56am

I'm waiting for the new Shadown lights from CNQ. Supposed to be very power, very good. Hope they are of Jetbeam quality.

vinhnguyen54 · August 18, 2011, 6:48am

What that extension under the light then??? Hmmmmm

Also doesn't look like the Voltage range would handle 1 battery

Anyone actually purchase either the UF-2170 or the UF-2180? Curious to see beam shots and find out if they are equivalent or essentially the C8 that is highly recommended on BLF, but with the 26650 battery.

Tia.

Other details from TaoBao:

Hikelite · August 28, 2011, 1:18pm

This light definitely exists in 1x26650 format. In this photo the 2x26650 tube is in the background.

Priced @ $33

The 2x26650 version is sold for $36 by the same seller.

Shipping is $1.5 in China. :)

Fightin14 · September 19, 2011, 5:35pm

Is there anyone here that has actually seen/used the shadow? I want one but I am not willing to buy the batteries and a new charger on a whim for one light.
