Ok to use an IMR or should I be using protected cells?

You'll have a hard time finding a 14500 high capacity cells that isn't a protected cell.

I've been using the Efest 800 mAh cell without issue. Not too long and not too short.

The Keeppower 840 mAh cell is too long.

I ended up taking the PCB off my Keeppower 840mAh to make it fit.

To me it looks like the o ring is caught in the threads. See if you can peel it out. It's probably cut anyway.
Once the o ring is gone, I suspect that with the threads taped up to prevent damage, that you will be able to take the ring off. Also remove the o ring on the outer most edge as to not damage it.

I've never had the stainless pins in mine so I don't know how far they stick up. The ring may be be jammed against the pins. The tape and pliers will remove that ring no doubt in my mind.

the O ring is easy to peel out, but the bezel is hard to take off. I have no idea it the bezel is stick on or screwed on. either way, I have tried all people suggested, but still not working.

Problem solved thanks everyone,
the reason I can't unscrewed it cuz the inside O ring has broken and get stuck inside

Good job! Glad you discovered the problem. Did you have spare orings? I only had one in my kit.

While the purple halo from the AR lens is a touch annoying, I love and adore the output from this light. The emitter choice is absolutely perfect.

Hi Joshua, for a Nichia version, Cheers!

 

[Wolfy1776]

Got my light today and dang it's pretty.

1 question is the spare tail cap switch the same as the one installed?

 

[NoNotAgain]

Same switch.

Hello JashHash, What lumen outputs do you get out of the Nichia with an NiMH and a 14500?

 

[Wolfy1776]

I have Fenix 14500 batteries and can't tighten the head down all the way but the light still works. Anyone else using Fenix 14500 and have the same results?

I tried a Zebralight protected 14500 cell and had the same experience - couldn't tighten the head entirely, but it worked fine.

Yesterday I tried an AW IMR 14500 (unprotected and shorter), and unfortunately, it seems to have damaged my light (or it's just a coincidence). The output has just plummeted - the top brightness mode is now emitting about what the lowest level was emitting before. The lowest mode isn't emitting anything visible at all (though I can see that the LED is on). All batteries are now doing this.

Anyone have any ideas?

Any left? The first post says 45, but the spreadsheet shows more than 45 names...

He edited the first post on 6/29 stating that he had 45 left. Go back to posts dated 6/29 and later and you will see there are plenty left.

It is a nice light, good value at the price.

 

[Wolfy1776]

Is there a recommended brand of 14500 to use? The Fenix 14500 are a bit to long.

Would be interested to know as I have just purchased the same AW cells.

Efest 800mAh 14500 fits fine. I've been using mine for the last month or so.
