i want the 18650 version of this.edit with good heatsinking.this one burned up

ozark trail
the way its built i have to add a spring to use an 18500.
its going under the knife!
stay tuned….

There are other lanterns that do take 18650s, like this http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_22717.html , and with pull out diffusers.

Interesting…nice tiny little light/lantern for camping

yeah too bad its junk.
led hot enough to smell on fresh alkies.
melted the screws out of the carrier and died.
it sagged badly on the “player” batteries it came with.
it died on the energizers.
it would have caught fire on a 18500.
a regulated driver might have helped.i see the constraints in the design as far as heatsinking but it would be easy to double the area of that dinky tower!

dont even care about this pile of junk.
i built a better one for about $2 in parts!
