    18650 flashlight recommendations

    I tried to get a flashlight to use a 18650 battery, but have not liked what I have seen so far. I would like to find a flashlight to use one of these or two if possible but I think only one since my batteries are unprotected. I would like it to have a momentary-on (not momentary-off as almost...

    18650 momentary bright dim

    Thanks for your help. I also have a Mag-Tac. Judging from this one and my other admittedly limited experience, it looks as if the manufacturers have trouble getting the beam focus/spread to work as well as one might want. (The PD35 has fixed focus and the Mag-Tac does it poorly.) Is there...

    18650 momentary bright dim

    Hello everyone I bought a Fenix PD35 and it is pretty good, but not perfect in my opinion. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is something more like what I want out there, meaning very bright to very dim, 1 or 2 18650 batteries, beam focus, momentary switch, not all...
