The Shorty X6 looks a bit strange for a hand-held flashlight, yes - But it would make a Killer Looking Bike Light!… For short trips at night (or carry spare 18350’s, or just peddle faster:-).
But, I think that TK’s ‘Biking Mode’ should run for quite some time for a daylight warning light, No?
What does everyone think about getting a couple of caps like the ones in the link above?
EDIT- With the 18350 tubes you order…
This way you could carry the spare tube with a battery inside for a quick back up…
Perhaps a bit easier: the 18350 tube plus battery should fit an old-school film canister too, most of you will have one or more around if you've ordered from IOS in the past :-)
I’ve never thought of using caps like that for flashlight parts. I can get prolly more than I want to have for free at work. They come in on threaded parts and are thrown away by the hundreds every day!
Those work well too… I was thinking along the lines of keeping my 18650 tube with these caps and a battery in my lunch bag at work… This way if I run The 18350 down, I can swap tubes and caps and be back in business… My 18350 stored safely in my lunch bag…
