Smallest 18650 tube light?

LED Flashlights – General Info 18650 Flashlights
1

Hi all!

I have plenty of AA/14500 lights i EDC but i’d like something with more run time…

I don’t need high output, although a 1k lumens turbo is welcome for a short time. I just want something close to a AA size light with similar output but with the extra capacity of a 18650. TIR optic and twist are OK. I prefer flood rather then throw…

All ideas are welcome!
Thanks.

DQG Tiny 18650 is probably your best bet. Not much bigger than the cell.

Zebralight SC600/SC62/SC63 are extremely compact but they come with a premium price tag.

I agree about the DQG Tiny 18650. Also, the BLF A6 is slightly bigger and can sometimes be bought for less than $20.

For an angle light the Skilhunt H03 is very small and 44g light.

For a regular tubelight the DQG Tiny 4th is one with TIR lens.

Convoy S2+ is also not too big for a reflector light.

What about the Brass Beauty from CNQG ?
From left to right :
C8 ; Convoy S2+ ; Olight S2 ; Nitecore HC30 : CNQG Brass Beauty ; Thorfire TG06 (AA)


I made a triple in mine for more flood :

Also compatible with standard 20mm TIR (well, with a littl grinding)

If you prefer e-switch, the Olight S2 is near perfect too

As X3 said, the Olight S2 is an excellent pick. If you don’t mind the price, that is, though since it’s relatively “outdated”, you should be able to find it on a sale sometime soon.

Bumping this.
I have looked around for a review or any word about Thorfire TK12 that seem to be a very small 18650 with a recharge port as well.

Anyone seen anything?

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve got a DQG Tiny 18650 4th on the way…

Be interested to know how you get on with it … I’ve been thinking about one of these for a while but have seen a few posts about the switch breaking off easily which is the only thing that’s stopped me from buying one!!

I’ll post back when i get it. However only time and usage will tell… and by the time other lights will be available. It’s endless! :person_facepalming:

BTW: there where a few on sale on GB those days - not very many (might be gone by now). Are they making room for the 5th?
