Looking for an 18650 light

I'd like an 18650 tube style light, but I can't seem to find what I'm after. Don't need super bright, have other lights for that. I like the Convoy S2 size or EE A6,

doesn't need to be tiny. Would like to stay in that price range, say under $25. The part I'm having trouble finding is the levels I want.

I would prefer something like 1/20/150/500. The BLF A6 looks nice, but as far as I can tell, 11 will be the lowest mode, and I don't need that many modes,

or 1100 lumens in this light. Thinking of ordering parts from Mtnelectronics.

S2 host, and AR lens. Would like a NW LED. How many amps/7135 chips would I need to be in this ball park?

I'm still learning, but I think I could build this, I have a friend with all the nice soldering stuff to help.

Am I on the right track? Any suggestions would be welcome!

RMM also has finshed lights also, and some light that can be bought modified if you want to go that route.

Yeah, he has a lot of great stuff, I just haven't found one that has the levels I want : )

I think a Qlite driver could give you about the levels you want.

I would get a P60 host of your liking (Ultrafire WF502B to stay in the 25$ budget, but I advise to stretch a bit and get a proper Solarforce host with a nicer button, better looks and HAIII anodizing) and one of this P60 drop-in modules that you can pick in the tint, LED, number of modes you want:

They are very nice, I have one myself of the CUXP kind with a Nichia 219B led and it is a favourite of mine. :slight_smile:

Yes thanks, I have a Solarforce P60 with drop in, great light. As I mentioned in my post, I am looking for a "tube" style similar to the Convoy S2. Yes, the Qlite driver looks like what I want, I just need a little help selecting one.

Well, I bought a Nitecore P12 recently and it is in the same size class of the Solarforce L2T host I use with the CUXP2 drop-in. Sure Convoy shall be smaller of course.

Have you looked at the DQG That is SMALL and there’s a good deal going on right now.

Yup, the P12 is nice, and has good spread on the modes, bit more expensive than target though. DGQ looks nice, low to med. is 3/80, would like to get a bit closer on those two. Not interested in Convoy because it's smaller necessarily, but rather if I go custom, I can make the spread more to my liking.

Other ideas:
Eagle Eyes A6
Eagle Eyes F30
Eagle Eyes F35

Or… The sometime in the future upcoming custom A6 group buy: Code now public! BLF A6 FET+7135 Light. Short 18350 tubes and Unanodized Lights Available

Yeah, if the group buy A6 has a true moon mode, I will be on that like white on rice : )
