I know that English isnāt your first language so maybe you werenāt getting my meaning.
I was meaning opening the inside 18650 to 32650 adapter hole to 26650 size so it will take 26650 or C cell (make it a 26650 to 32650 adapter) and use that white plastic 18650 to 26650 adapter inside the 26650 to 32650 adapter when you want to use a 18650.
This way we can be able to use 26650 and C cell batteries too and have room inside the Lumintop box for the AA carrier, adapters and accessories. Putting the 18650 to 26650 adapter inside the 26650 adapter before itās put inside the Lumintop box so it doesnāt take up as much space.
Just wanted more flexibility to be able to use 26650 and C cell since I consider the Lumintop SD10 the āEnd of the World/Zombie Holocaustā flashlight. You can scrounge up just about any standard alkaline battery to power it. I even got a 4 AAA carrier around here somewhere that fits inside a 26650 flashlight. Stick that inside a 26650 to 32650 adapter and you are in business.
Interested Fix the problems that the first one had. Not impressed with the HXP50 ,better
the MT-G2 or a XML the driver from the DQG tiny will run a MT-G2 Lose the BLF logo
use the REYLIGHT logo Raylight Limited edition in script superimposed over a dragon? or a
Unicorn. Think about it, its time you became a custom brand.

Moonlight mode that lasts forever, well spaced modes, decent high output on Eneloops and lithium batteries, ability to run on D cell, decent regulation, PWM not visible, neutral tint.
Im interested in this light, just dont make it too expensive, lets keep it BLF :)!
Iād be interested as I didnāt partake in the first one. Think it needs to perform on li-ion though. Why else would you have such a huge light? And some descent tint. Truly donāt understand why āpremiumā flashlights continue to only offer CW.
TBH I personally think a well driven XP-G2 would be nice. Make for a good pocket thrower.
I still think a 3D tint Lumintop SD10 would be the catās meow. Iām impressed with the tint of my Convoy C8 with a XP-L V6 3D. Itās just gorgeous.
Also reverse polarity protection should be a must. Iād hate for the wife to stick a battery in backwards and fry the driver.
Lots of people love moonlight. I use the moon for that, LOL. Don't care about moonlight.
As far as 6V leds, I would say no, to a multi battery type light. Yes, you can use a boost driver, to use one Li-ion, but boost drivers eat power from the cell much faster than a linear one would. To get 5 amps @ 6+ volts from a 3.7V battery, you would suck out about 8 amps from the cell, I bet. Not long life there. I would rather have an XP-L Hi @ 5 amps and a linear 7135 driver, or FET driver. 4XAA is fine, but not for high amp draws. Yes, eneloops will draw high amps, but they will not do it near as well as Li-ion and not in any stock battery carrier. It would have to be a low resistance carrier to do any good. I would favor a well made 4AA series holder, (no springs in it. Spring clips made of Nickel silver or another non-helical spring method), Also, a 4x14500 parallel holder and better clearance in the body. 32650 to 26650 adapter tube, 26650 to 18650 adapter tube, Holster.
If you give it a FET driver with a way to drive red+green indicator LEDs under the button (like the Ferrero Rocher driver), I have three firmwares which would work on it. One is even based on the Baton, like the previous edition of this lightā¦ though I prefer either of the other two. My favorite one provides a smooth, fast, reversible ramping UI with instant access to min, max, or mem from off.
:heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: Great idea! Letās get a TK firmware into this thing! But, one of the coolest things about the Lumintop SD10 is that it can run on several different cell sizes and types. I donāt want to change that. If we can get all the benefits of the first one, plus fixing the moon issue, plus changing the 18650 to 32650 adapter out for a 18650 to 26650 and a 26650 to 32650, plus adding a TK firmware, it would be awesome! And, if we could get the highest bin XM-L2 or XP-L, that would be really sweet!
