Adding to this - I’d love an M1 18350 tube. It would be somewhat similar in size to a KR1. That light just fits perfectly in my hand and has a great “feel” to it (albeit it’s naturally shorter so the 18650 KR1 would probably be similar in length to an 18350 M1).

I’m tempted to do a mod to the M1 tube to shorten it for an 18350 but I’d much rather have a stock 18350 tube

Simon, what would be the main changes / improvements between an aluminum S21G vs S21B? Also, will it be easy to install TIRs in the S21G? Thanks.

I understand and I like this design. If the head of the light was copper with a titanium bezel and body that would be amazing!

Hey Simon I know you were considering discontinuing the M1 when current stock runs out, but a few different colors and an 18350 tube might be just the thing to revitalize this model! Please consider it.

Thanks

Yes! There is a lot of appeal of a small light with big output. M1 with XHP70.3 ticks a lot of boxes.

Simon_Mao · 2024-01-11T01:48:57.764Z

~~yes, the same~~
Sorry, the previous reply was wrong.
This reflector is special in that it is tapered rather than cylindrical.Otherwise it cannot be installed.
Only the 23.3mm TIR lens is suitable for S21G, but the glass lens needs to be removed,So the head is not waterproof.

FunkyRider86 · 2024-01-11T02:16:15.034Z

That’s awesome! I will order a sand M1 w/ XHP70.3 HI. Look forward to it!

The stainless steel buttons of the S21G have been improved over the previous ones.You can directly replace the light switch with the original ordinary switch.
Because the thread of the S21G flashlight is also conductive, you can’t completely de-energize the switch by hanging the tail loose one turn.
If you don’t use the flashlight for a long time, please remove the battery from the flashlight.

YES exactly! AMAZING!

runswithsnakes · 2024-01-11T10:58:52.652Z

OK, thanks Simon. Since the S21B can not accept TIR + glass at the same time, but the S21E can, I was hoping this 12-group rear-clicky would improve upon the S21B by allowing TIR + glass like the S21E. Not only does this effect the water resistance, but green AR can improve the tint.

This is the best news I’ve heard all year!

ebastler · 2024-01-11T11:05:15.589Z

Oof, 18350 M1 in gray sounds damn tempting.

Simon_Mao · 2024-01-11T11:09:42.261Z

i remember 23.3mm TIR can be installed in S21B, you have to remove the gasket and glass lens.

runswithsnakes · 2024-01-11T11:20:25.408Z

Yes, I have 23.3mm TIR in my S21B, but no glass. For the S21G, it would be nice if you could use TIR and glass at the same time for water resistance. Maybe a future improvement.

Simon_Mao · 2024-01-11T12:54:56.963Z

21mm or 20mm TIR lens ,These two lenses can be fitted just barely, while you can keep the glass lenses.But there will be a little gap between the head of the flashlight and the place where the led is installed.
