    SUNWAYMAN T26C- 800 Lumens Exquisite Ultra-compact 18650 Flashlight

    Long time no post. Love the size. Not sure about the 100% flat beam. The UI seems glitchy, but for the most part works OK. Overall not as impressed as I expected to be.

    Super Reliable Headlamp for backpacking?

    My go-to hiking headlamps for a long time were a couple of Petzl Tikkas; they've been faultlessly reliable for me, but certainly not cutting-edge performance (output OR runtime), and 3xAAA sucks big time: crappy runtimes, lousy output regulation, more tiny cells to misplace, and of course...

    NEW Product Announcement - Nitecore TM03 2800 Lumen LED Flashlight

    At that level of output :ooo:, it's probably to better conduct heat away from the emitter to your hand.

    SRT7 CR123 vs RCR123 vs 18650 pro and con?

    Even better than 2x16340: 2x18350. Most 18650 lights can't handle the couple mm extra length, but my SRT-7 is one of the few that does. (Others: ThruNite Scorpion v2, Nitecore P12GT) 18350 have more capacity than 16340, and fully use the volume of the battery compartment, no rattles. And yes...

    Are there any true 10440 compatible lights?

    Interesting. I was going by their Amazon page, which is where I got mine; they were selling both the Ti3 And the Ti3T (titanium version), which seems to be gone now; the listing specifically said 3.7V for the Ti3, 3.0V for the Ti3T. At the time, I figured maybe they were concerned about heat...

    Are there any true 10440 compatible lights?

    Upfront, I've got a number of 10440-capable lights. But, I'm also realistic: output is impressive, but runtimes are ridiculously short. Also, current draws are really scary; if you seriously wanna run 10440, invest in IMR cells, not the crap-*** ChinaFire junk. (Besides the safety factor, IMR...

    Light Review: NITECORE EA45S (4xAA)

    Great review of a great light! I looooove mine, the 2x2 format makes for a MUCH slimmer light than the "pop can" 4xAA class lights. It's too long (for my taste, at least) to EDC, but in the hand, it feels more like a 2xAA light. The cast construction keeps it compact AND very light for it's...

    Ultratac K18 (XP-G2 S2, 1xAAA/10440, side switch) flashlight review: RUNTIMES+

    My guess is, they added the electronic lock-out to the stainless model because it can't do a mechanical lockout. Still, like others here, I'd appreciate it on the aluminum model as well.
