Could someone post a picture for size comparison of a Convoy tube light vs. Xeno E-03? I’ve got Convoy S3 & S4 coming on a slow boat from China and am considering also getting a 14500 based light for EDC.
Thanks.
Xeno E03 is the best 1xAA/14500 light i had!!!
comes highly recommended.
it is not sold on Fasttech tho.
I’m kinda thinking the same. Probably in XP-G format. Just not sure I really “need” it.

Thanks. I’m hopeing for a side by side picture from a member with both. I can see the spec dimensions but a picture would mean more to me.
Stock length S6, 115mm
Shortened S2, 106mm
Extra-super shorty TR-801, 94mm
So a little longer than your Extra-super shorty with 21.4mm dia.
By the way, your mods are well outside of my skill set.
that was in 2010 btw
:bigsmile:
Are those lights safe on 14500’s?
Not sure about the olight.
I guess if the manufacturer doesn’t list it …
sure would be nice though.
You’ve certainly given me something to think about. The light would be for EDC and run mostly on low to med and short times at that (if I needed more light for any lenght of time I would get something larger) but it would be nice to go to high for a few seconds to light up a house number or such.
Between the Fenix and the Olight which do you prefer?
Thank you.
I think I have a plan.
Does the Olight have low battery indication?
The batteries I have are unprotected Sanyo 2600

Are these the flat tops that won’t work?

Any reason not to go with banggood?
Any better deals on I2 with XP-G2.
One of the reasons I love the e03 so much is because Xeno makes a great diffuser wand for it.
My e03 stopped working with AA's shortly after using it with 14500's, so all I've been using is 14500's. Eventually I swapped in a Qlite driver and high CRI LED, which made it nearly the perfect EDC light for me. The only light I prefer over it is the Jetbeam RRT01, and even that light would benefit from the same high CRI LED.
Xeno E03 tail clicky like almost all xeno clickies is a little odd
A bit recessed..sort of reminds me of the Akoray lights clickies .Otherwise I like the light great knurling ,cool finger cut outs .I like the eagletac d25A better .I would have thought Kriesler would have said the same .
Maybe I can get him to recant
I find the xeno quite awesome for the price…

Does it pull out 200lumens from AA though??
At wallbuys, black Xeno e03 , older xpg r5
Now $19
Ordered the Olight and a Keeppower 14500. I’ll probably just use it on AA but I want to try it on a 14500 just to see.
lol
