Please put me in for 1 more, 3D tint please.

Looks like this is a heck of a deal! I was considering a Fenix PD35, but this seems better (to me) and costs far less.
My wife would shoot me, but I’m deployed right now, so I’m safe. :wink:

I’m going to put in for the 18350 tubes as well. Better to get ’em now. Even if I don’t use them later on, Lord knows I’ve wasted more than what those cost. :open_mouth:

BTW - how hard would it be to swap this over to a triple later on if I decide I don’t like one of the tints?

3163

Why is 18350 better on this flashlight then 18650? And do you then run two 18350s?

3164

Ken,

18350 is not “better”, it’s 30mm Shorter! - It gives you a shorter option for pocket carry for EDC.

Run two, and you will ruin your flashlight @ 8.4v.

Thanks,

-Chuck

3165

If it’s not too late, could you put me down for another 3D, thanks.

3166

It is not better for run time, it just makes the light shorter so it is easier to carry. If you run two 18350’s in the regular tube, be prepared to buy a new driver, I do not think the stock driver is rated for 7.4V…

3167

then I see.

Would 4.35v batteries be safe to use?

Edit: I thought it would be helpful to post ReManG’s picture of how compact an 18350 sized tube could make this light. Sign up fast if you’re interested! 18350 Battery tubes for BLF A6, Eagle Eye A6 and X6, as well as codes for short Convoy S2+ tubes in Blue and Red!

I think so, but the group designers need to confirm.

Problem is though; I don’t think that there are any High-Drain 4.35v cells - At least none that I know of.

So - They should work, but despite their higher voltage, they just can’t give this light all the Current that it wants on Turbo.

Thanks,
-Chuck

3171

    also I would like to order 2 more pcs
    1x 1A
    1x 5A
    total 4 pcs

Thanks

This light uses the same popular direct drive method as many other lights, with most of the same driver hardware, so it should be fine with a 4.35V cell. I haven’t tried it though.

^ What she said :slight_smile: And additionally for info: I notice at least on the DD lights I have, with my purple samsung 4.35V cells, that I get a little bit closer to “high output” light like my high drain cells at first. So at least for a short time they are better than other standard Panasonic 4.2V cells, but not the output or performance of a “high drain cell”. This is all expected and probably how this light will also function.

Thanks! Trying to figure it all out on my own was driving me crazy! I needed some pros to step in and make up my mind for me. :smiley:

Know what you mean:-)

Also, if you have a lot of time and a bit of money left, please see our Sister Thread:

Same “guts” on those lights, but bigger heads for more throw.

Same batteries too!

Take care,
