The new Aspire 18350 cell should change a lot of things in small flashlights. With 1200mAh capacity as compared to 650mAh, and with high discharge capability as well, our small lights should see nice gains. I have some on the way to try out. My small Sinner 18350 triples will be quite happy!

Modding it seemed quite a nice challenge, so I just started ordering the parts and see how far I could get
