Who feel that this 1&2 26650 Host: http://cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=114

or http://cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1077

has shady pictures but is interested in such a host, check the link below for better pictures

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.

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!"...

Is anyone familiar with this?

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

Doesn't look like it does.

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

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:

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. :)

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.

Just in case you did not try, 3AA hosts are normally compatible with 26650 as far as I have seen, the closest I got is a zooming from taobao made for 4AA but this one could have a 32600/32650 instead.

*I am only talking about sizes, drivers might not be compatible and should be replaced.

I have one, very nicely finished, great throw, fantastic levels, for a light of this size and power the medium is perfect for most jobs and the low is really low, the strobe is very fast, nice thing is it doesn’t have memory so you never see the strobe unless you want it. Starts H,M,L,S, I love the settings.
You won’t be disappointed.
