I notice lately a few tube style lights available with XHP35 & XHP50
It’s a very interesting category so I started this thread for discovery and discussion
If anyone knows of any please post here!
Single cell XHP emitter “Tube Style” lights with head diameter aprox. 25mm
(Relevant / notable models with slightly larger head I will post separately at bottom)
(please don’t post about other emitters - triples quads etc., this is for XHP only)
Straight only - not angled or head lamp (unless it will also go straight)
Battery type: 18xxx 20xxx 21xxx
Factory production only - not modded lights
I’ve added prices of what they sell for normally, the lowest prices I could find online. .
.
Here are the ones I know about so far (I will edit this to update as more are discovered):
Thanks for posting! I wasn’t aware of any of those.
In the Zebralight line first I found different variations of the SC600 with XHP35 and XHP50, a very compact size indeed however with its 30mm head size a bit more than a “Tube Style” but its shorty length of only 96mm nearly makes up for that, plus its 2300lm max output is quite notable as well! That’s quite an awesome flashlight.
I also found their SC63w 18650 with XHP35. It’s extremely compact at 92.5mm x 24.5, however it’s somewhat lacking in max output at only 1126lm.
For the Nitecore MH23 yes also a large head as you pointed out, but an MH20 on steroids! I couldn’t find the spec for the head diameter, the MH20’s head is nearly 32mm.
In Klarus and Jetbeam I found each have one model with XHP35 that fits tube style category: Klarus XT2CR (1600lm) and Jetbeam Jet-TH15 (1300lm)
The Jetbeam is lacking in max output and is quite long at around 150mm length. The Klarus is comparable in size to the ArmyTeks I referenced although slightly lower in output.
Personally I think I’m more excited by the XHP50 variants in a small EDC, just for their higher max outputs. As far as a true “Tube Style” XHP pocket rocket, so far the Eagtac’s DX3B mini’s appeal to me the most, however I dislike their side switch design - seems it would be hard to locate in total darkness.
Very nice I forgot about this one, Thanks for posting! Now I remember reading on here before about the weak tail magnet.
And like their XHP35 headlamp (HC33) this one has a decent price too, probably even better with some deal code if available, plus that side switch looks like it would be no problem to locate in total darkness.
Doesn’t appear to be a NW option though. The main reason I didn’t jump on their HC33.
How about a BLF A6 or an S2+ with XHP? I think that will be awesome. Most of the times I want my EDC on low levels but handy to have high output and long range.
So what would be an advantage of the xhp35 over the xhp50.2? I suppose throw would be one. I was going to build one with a 50.2 since the output is higher and I can run it on a lower voltage.
yet another! Thanks for posting. Wait… a NW version from Olight?? YES! :+1: :+1: :+1:
Plus it fits the magnetic charging dock (optional) I really love that system.
After buying several Olight in the past (S15, S20, s30) I’ve had to steer away from them because of no NW option.
