Hi,
Here some lights I made:
A thrower which uses a Supbeam K40 reflector and two 18650 batteries as a power supply.
A pretty tough 18650 sized light, which is waterproof up to at least 50 meters and features a 3500mA driver:
An 18650 light which has a side switch and works with a Lux-Rc light engine:
Next there is another 18650 light, which features a 4000k XM-L2 and a two mode driver:
Since you guys are also interested in the tools I am using, here are some more pictures of the lathe which I redid a few months ago (scraping and adjusting the spindle...)
A copper light with two bodies (18650 and 18340) and a lux-rc l334 light engine:
A CR123 light with about 200 OTF Lumens and 2 hours runtime on high:
More pictures here:
A 1/3 AAA Body for a worm copper:
More pictures here:
It has a very rugged design and thick walls...
Next comes a 18500 EDC with a LuxRC Triple board:
There is already a thread about this light in the forum:
Then this is another EDC in which fits a 18650 LiIon. I guess it is the smallest 18650 light with a button in the world :)
It is only 91,8 Millimeters long!
It also uses a LuxRc light engine
A size comparison to a normal sized 18650 Light...
This one is one of the brightes LED-Throwers.
It reaches about 340 000 Lux and has more throw than a PH50...
Here is also a thread about it:

Very small, but also powerful with about 5500 lux at 1 meter:
Some better pictures:
A normal sized Light:
My first homemade light:
A 3xXM-L fatty powered by three 18650 batteries:
The Heat sink:
It has a very nice Low Bat warnig :) :
If you want some more (better) pictures and some information here is the original thread:
A Thrower Head for light beneath the head:
It cracked the 200 klux
By this one I was inspired by the 4Sevens X10. I love the output and great size but not the UI and the switch.
So I designed my own one driven by one 26650 li ion, with a Ultrafire C8 smooth reflector in it and another UI:
The next one is more floody. Driven by two 26650 li ion with three XM-L T6 and a 9A driver.
Now my favourite 18650 light. It took me very much time to develop an build it. It uses a XM-L U2 on a zero restistance pcb with an Taskled Lflex:
The smallest parts
So that´s it but more are already in production
I am looking forward to your questions and answers to this thread!
Sorry for the bad grammar
