Not many of these around so I’m going to suggest it since everyone here loves the new Aspire 1100mah 18350 cell. Build a strong reliable host with a good UI around this battery and you got a winner.
A side e-switch 18350 cell light using a high bin cree xpl 4 to 5k or both and a high cri version.
.
The UI needs to be 3 to 4 modes including a moonlight of 1 or 2 lumens.
Single click to on and fast click to change between low, med, high and loop back to low and in that order.
Moon would be long click from off (1 second hold). Turbo would be fast double click in both off and on.
Off would be one click hold to off (maybe around 3/4 of a second) most don’t seem to like a long click to off. Keep the hold time short.
Battery voltage 3 fast clicks from off. Blinks first voltage digit then second decimal digit.
Lock out 4 fast clinks for activate and 4 fast clicks to deactivate and mechanical twist the tail lock out.
.
Keep it small in size with nice knurling but very strong. Add a nice deep pocket carry clip and mil spec III hard anodizing with IPX8.
Semi tight hot spot with nice spill and AR coated lens. To smooth the beam you could use a textured reflector.
Needs to be close to 1000 lumens in turbo with maybe thermal step down or timer.
.
There are lots of people here looking for a perfect EDC 18350 size flashlight me included. More capacity than a 16340 and smaller than a 18650 light.
.
I do own 2 of your PD03A AAA model flashlights bought years ago. Still working good.

1x26650, triple or quad reflector, high CRI led, waterproof, usb charging.

Thank you!

May be a diffusor for the new P20 Oathkeeper an a neutral white version of it could make it much more interesting for hunting !

slmjim · 2018-04-13T11:17:41.000Z

I've really developed a liking for the dual-switch design of tail clicky on/off with side switch for changing modes.

1 - AA: Four modes: moon>low>med>high, tailstand, lanyard, softly rounded edges at each end to make it pocket-friendly. Removable, crenelated head for use as candle. Square threads. NW high CRI flood beam, reversible pocket clip. Flat/matte finish (not glossy). I didn't include 14500 on purpose in order to simplify driver design (ala Zebralight) & keep costs down. As efficient as reasonably possible. Target price $25.00 - $30.00.

everydaysurvivalgear · 2018-04-13T11:55:43.000Z

Its great to see some new lights!

Does that T16 have 3 separately zoomable heads? Interesting! Never had a Britnyte before but I might as well have one when this T16 is out!

Yep two buttons/switches is always better than one. With tailswitch, sometimes you lose tail standing which sucks. However, a rotary brightness switch would be the absolute best.

Yes, those are three separately zoomable heads with different LED colors, plus a laser in the bottom.

Honestly until I looked at the Brinyte website I never realized there were that many modesl available. I’ve typically only seen a small handful, mostly because they’re not readily sold by the vendors I frequent.

As others have indicated neutral/hi-cri emitters and 26650 battery options seem to be missing from the incredibly wide variety of lights made by Brinyte.

I’m also personally a fan of infinitely variable ramping (when done well). And for fixed level User-Interfaces (UI), I think a programmable UI would be great. For example allowing a user to turn blink modes on/off, or L/M/H to H/M/L order, etc. At least one offering of each in your EDC category might be good to test the marketplace.

Thanks for the chance to comment.

mapache · 2018-04-14T11:38:20.000Z

I am also a fan of the B158 and B158B, not that I own either yet, but when funds allow the next light I will be purchasing is going to be the B158B.

I would like to see the B158 and B158B available with a single mode direct drive driver. Even better, but probably not possible due to the design, would be a dual switch set up with tail switch for on/off and side switch for modes, one of those modes being direct drive.

Satisfaction · 2018-04-14T13:43:34.000Z

I have a DIV01 and a DIV03 and have been extremely satisfied with them! I am very impressed with the selection of dive lights and look forward to getting a DIV10 or DIV20 for this season (cold New England dark lakes). I would like to see something like the DIV20 with the ability to mount both a wide beam angle video head AND a tight beam angle spot at the same time running off the same canister. These heads being able to be controlled independently would be amazing!

honestly, t16 scares. scares from the the perspective of ulesessness.

there is evil 3-headed giant dragon, in russian folklore, “Zmei Gorinich”.
really reminds me of him.

i`m glad to be mistaking, but that seems like one of those countless noname stuff from Ali. with 50000 killolumens and 3000m throw from LB LEds

Blades · 2018-04-14T22:42:24.000Z

I’d like something that looks like an Inova T1, has a tail switch, but is brighter. Something that can take a 18650. It needs a clip so I can carry it in a pocket. I’ll I need is high. :sunglasses:

Phlogiston · 2018-04-16T05:33:16.000Z

How about a 2×AA light with a high CRI LED? The only people I can think of who make one are EagleTac, and they’re expensive.

I’d be looking for:

5000K 90+ CRI Nichia 219B LED.
general purpose beam profile similar to a Desert Tan Convoy S2+ (the one with the smooth reflector).
reverse-clicky tail switch for mode changes.
three modes at 15, 50 and 200 lumens. I’d be fine with extra moonlight and turbo modes, but 15, 50 and 200 are the ones I want most.
mode sequence: Low - Medium - High.
no mode memory, always start on Low.
no strobe and no other flashing modes.

Basically, a “normal” light for people who want better colour rendition. I’d buy several, some for myself and some as gifts.

Another idea would be to make the light run on 1×AA NiMH or 1×14500 Li-Ion, with an extension tube that lets it use 3×AA NiMH to get Li-Ion performance and / or lots of extra runtime in an emergency. In that case, only enabling the extra turbo mode (400 lumens?) with 3×AA NiMH or 1×14500.

It’s almost like you read my mind moderator007! I’d love something like an 18350 Olight Baton with a nice NW/high-CRI emitter.

The one thing I disagree with moderator007 on is the UI. For me short press to change modes and long press for off is just about a deal breaker. If the light is going to have a simple UI then I’d like short press for on/off and long press to change modes. Apart form that all the shortcuts moderator007 described are spot-on. The only thing that might be better than the Baton UI is a simplified version of ToyKeeper’s Andúril, to give the option of smooth ramping or steps.

Another thing that would be great on an 18350 EDC would be a tail cap magnet. I find them really useful.

Separately from the 18350 EDC idea I’d be interested in an 18350 zoom, and I’m a big fan of light with interchangeable 18350 and 18650 battery tubes. Every light with a removable 18650 tube should have an optional 18350 tube!

cyberdiamond · 2018-04-15T11:50:47.000Z

Dive light with single 26650 battery and around 1500 lumens light, like my div08w but with spot light instead, maybe using either XHP-70 or XHP-50 might do it.

gamezawy · 2018-04-15T12:53:11.000Z

a small zoomable light with Cree xhp35 and single 26650 battery with boost driver

I would add to the suggestion to make the same light available in kit with 18650+18350 tube, just like Astrolux, Convoy, Emisar etc… are doing… this is incredibly simple from a manufacturing point of view, but it adds huge interest from our buyers perspective.

In particular, I would love to see a light like the DQG tiny, as small and light as possible (no steel/copper/brass on such lights imho, nor for the host nor for details such as retaining rings), but with both 18650 and 18350 option. I love small EDC lights, but the only reason I haven’t bought the dqg 18650 it’s the lack of 18350 option: it’s already small, but I’d want the option to make it even shorter when I don’t need runtime (99% of the time when EDC for “just in case”)

Maybe 2-3 options or the led (XP-L/nichia)… or maybe even xhp35/xhp50 (but in that case a step up driver is needed of course)
for example something like this (again with 18650/18350 tube)
