26650 EDC or other manufactures of the Ultrafire F13?

Thanks, checked out the L6’s and C8X, head size on both are around 45mm, so that puts them in the size class of the Manta Ray C8.2 that I posted earlier (post #22) -the exception is them having side switches or dual switch. But for that size class I’m still liking the Manta Ray better.

.
The L5-S is a more compact size light with it’s head sized nearly the same as it’s tail (only 3mm difference) In fact that’s something the OP should take note of here since he said that’s what he preferredt: “I would have a slimmer head like the same size as the tube” I also like the gray anodizing, plus the block pattern knurling like on the convoy L6. (looks like the Comunite L9 clone you linked on ebay has black anno)

.
I’ll be interested to see what the innards of the L5 look like for modding, I’m hoping it could be a candidate for XHP or MT-G2. I’ve yet to get into driver swaps for a side e-switch, but this L5-S might be my “gateway” light for that!

EDIT: I thought this light looked familiar, turns out it’s been around a long time. MTN carried it as far back as at least 4 years ago and it was sort of popular for modding, there’s a few old mod threads from 3-4 years ago. The single side switch used to have a rubber or plastic button then later was changed to metal. The dual switch version was introduced more recently.

Forward to 2017 and the dual switch model… found some recent mod threads (2017) including one with XHP70. It takes a 20mm mcpcb and apparently the stock driver is 26mm. One drawback is the threaded shelf/pill the mcpcb sits on is quite thin.
