I was going to suggest one, but hey, just get the shorty tube instead of the whole light. Mix’n’match colors, even.
Easy to do an emitter-swap, and stick a nice TIR lens for throw or flood or anything in-between. The come-with 4C and a 60° TIR lens is nigh perfect for close-in work.
Also, some Solarforce L-series lights have / come with shorty tubes, as they typically would take a pair of ’123s.
I keep a Jet-II (twisty, nomem, start-on-low) in my bag as an emergency light. Quite nice, but not the modes you want.
A tailclicky 16340 (or even 18350) seems like a pretty tall order. Haven’t seen many at all.
Solarforce is kinda obsolete now. But I’m glad I own a L2m and it’s been serving me great all these years. Running a xp-l hi 1a as a tactical car light.
The shorty L2M is a great light but I ended up using it as a full 18650 size due to its head bulk. Still wished I grabbed more L2M though.
Worse come to worst I’ll just customize a shorty from convoy
Jet-II do you mean from Jetbeam? Looks like a good small light that I can consider. Thanks for recommending.
Depending on if seller or Amazon ships this to Malaysia, I don’t think I’ll be able to get one i guess?
Not too sure if D25C can do simple modes or not. Thanks for the recommendations
Not sure if the Olight M1T Raider will be usefull for you due to the tint (cool white), but it has 2 modes only.
Some are Low-High (i believe you’ll still find it on sale), others High-Low.
And the OTR M3 Pro, that is not a tail clicky but can be locked for 1 of the 4 regular modes + Turbo (through double click).
So you can have a lower mode (ML / L / M or H) and Turbo to use use it when needed.
Thanks so much for the options you all gave.
I’m definitely leaning towards the Olight M1T Raider. Looks cool with the spiral body. And 2 modes exactly what I prefer too.
Doesn’t matter if it starts on high or not, inspection lights with just 2 modes are still better than fumbling with 5 mode 2 switch nonetheless hahaha
I can see many would want to recommend me OTR M3, in fact I do have this exact light but I destroyed it by dropping it into saltwater so it no longer works.
It is bare with no driver no LED and I never get to put a new driver in
But overall thanks a lot for the Olight M1T recommendations. Definitely looking into it right now
Go for it I think you’ll not be disappointed with the M1T!
I forgot to mention that it has forward clicky for momentary ON!
The Olight i3T EOS is the same type of light, using AAAs, with less output, of course!
Both are great
