Oh I know about your light. That was an incredibly difficult swap that I don’t think many people can do. I know of only 2 people who did it and both were super hard to do. Plus you ditched the built in charging on yours. The other build was able to keep it, but had to convert to a magnetic connector. This is why I’m saying I’d like it from the factory. Or maybe a factory light that had a more traditional driver design that was easy to swap while still keeping the charger.
Precisely my points Jason
I see myself using my 16340 lights more and more (OTR i3, OTR M1 and others) dure to the smaller diameter!
But a light compatible with both type of batteries in a small/compact form would be great!
And with a good UI, of course
I too feel sorry for not having Tom’s skills to do that (putting Narsil) in my M3 Pro! That would be gorgeaus
Yay, Sofirn’s going to manufacture its own headlamp? Can’t wait!
Also looks like it has the button on the back of the head as opposed to the end, which I think works better for these sorts of lights.
To the best of my knowledge Sanyo does not make 26650 cells, especially ones that have fancy wiring tabs installed to maintain 3.7v. So the label is probably not correct, at least as far as the brand name. I would guess it’s made by a smaller Chinese battery company or maybe a third party company that just combined 2 x 26650 cells and made a new wrapper for it.
Wait, does that say 14,000mah? I thought it said 1,400. There’s no way it can be 14,000. The very best 26650 cells are about 5,750 and maybe labeled as 6,000 so that would be 12,000 at the most. That wrapper is claiming the cells are 7,000mah each.
