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.
Looks good, who’ll be the guinea pig?
A shame it’s single mode 3 would be nice, running flat out all the time isn’t always especially useful.
26650 capable charger.

How the heck do you do a carriage return on this forum?
I have bought several days ago something I dreamed of, single cell 26650 3x XML flashlight :) 56$ with shipping, I hope it is worth something, but it should be :) Now it is just a question of one cell driver able to deliver 5 or more ampers...
shadow 2x26650 available at intl-outdoor

edit: this looks like a great candidate for hunting light - anybody know or can measure reflector dimensions?
Saw this Dongrui today at Manafont (never came across it before). Product page says it takes "1 x 18650/21660". What is a 21660? Do they mean 26650? It's also discussed here.
And don't forget the Fandyfire HD2010 discussed here, available here at DX.
Do 26650's fit in a Maglite C body? Require boring at all? What about length for (2) 26650's in a (2) C cell light?

I'm curious about the 3 XML single 26650 lights that have been popping up on ebay (looks very similar to the beamtech bt4000 from Tmart). Curious enough in fact that I was bidding on one. Unfortunately the auction ended while I was on the road to the in-laws for dinner yesterday and I got outbid. Has anyone got one of these (or the one from Tmart)? I really like the idea of this light but it would be nice to know how hard the 3 XMLs are driven from a single cell.
There are some details of single xml version, it doesn't seem to be very well made, but may be considered as good beginning I think: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/5251#comment-105666
I already ordered some liquid to be able to weld aluminium to the driver, this driver pressing oring is not capable of high currents in my opinion, it should be solid welded. We do not know anything on driver, I suppose it may be the same as in 3x xml lamp, hope not, but have to be ready for it, looking now for best 1 cell driver capable of delivering enough power to 3 xml's :)
