Nice…even using 18650’s w/ the sleeve, these are some rather nice lights…quite beefy and plenty of meat in the body to absorb heat if modified into a barn burner…at 3A these things barely even heat up.
Nice one OL. I think it’s a good purchase for the price (as a 26650 host) based on the last go-round. Remember folks, these can happily take a 26700 like the 70mm KK cells!
Unfortunately I think not. The threaded section on both tailcap and battery tube have smaller diameters than those on a Yezl Y3 extension I just checked against (because JaredM
FOUND! HD2010 extension tubes). The tailcap won’t even start to thread. The body tube just spins inside the female threads of the Y3.
Thanks for checking that, too bad.
I was hoping to one of those exact extension tubes to build a nice 2x 26650 mt-g2 beasty out of this thing. I do have another 26650 extension tube here that might do the trick, one of those sold by cnqualitygoods back in the day that was a bit too narrow at the threads to fit the HD2010. Chances of it fitting are slim but who knows.
If it possible, I will buy that flashlight, so please if anybody know it tell us :bigsmile:
(I have to make a gift to ordinary people, so I prefer not to buy Li-on cells, just Nimh)
I got an F13 from GB in May,still XM-L then.$9.99 and it came with lanyard,18650 spacer and triple AAA battery carrier.See photo 3 in the customer photos.3 AA cells will not fit in any 26650 battery tube AFAIK so that is about 700-1000 mAh :~
Your other option is to use a smaller 17mm or 20mm driver. You can either use a contact PCB (like these 21mm ones from IOS?) as bibihang suggested or you can just strip the stock driver and use that in lieu of a contact board. IIRC there is enough space for any 17mm driver you want.
