the lack of scale is difficult, I’m wondering if its a 26650 tube for a defiant 3c but I can’t understand the lug on the end if thats the case, I’m not sure its for a solarforce head, dont know if the threads in the head are anodised or not and its obviously either a twisty or a sideswitch host.
That is an extremely nice machined piece of Ally there Mr X. I would have to agree with JohnnyMac that it may fit a 16340 sized battery. Pictures are very deceiving when it comes to the actual size. What could it be? I’m guessing the pitch is about 1.5mm x 18mm diameter? I dont know. :_(
Lets get small...how about the bulb retainer of an incan mag as the head utilizing a nichia on a 10mm star and TIR with this body fitting 2 or 3 LR44 button cells. :D
The head is a Maratac AAA I acquired some time ago. This body was a prototype in aluminum before making one in copper.
The cell is a diminutive 10180, but I'll likely make a 10280 body as well. The lug will also be drilled for a split ring, as I will probably end up wearing this one around my neck.
Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. :( IIRC the BD-0 does have similar construction to the maratac so you would only have to thread the outside. If you're interested I could send mine to you. ;)
