Those crenelated bezels don't just look great, but very robust also.
The 16650 here was dropped from about 24ft atop a telephone pole (I used to work for the local telephone company), landed bezel down on the pavement, bounced into the street, hit by a car tossing it into the gutter on the other side of the road... The original aluminum bezel was bent into the lens cracking it. I picked it up and it didn't turn on. Later that evening I took a closer look to find that the protection circuit on the battery was smashed. Put in a new battery and it's been working since.
Replace the lens and upgraded to the SS bezel. Dropped in very similar circumstances several times since, and zero issues. You may be able to see scars on all 3 bezels here. I'm hard on my gear. That's why Malkoff is a favorite.

I'm glad the 519a 5700k light I got coming in has this older style AA body. I like the newer one as well
My pocket rathers the newer style, my eyes rather the older lol.I agree. I like the newer body style much better
I do like the newer body better, however I'd rather these bodies have knurling. I like the aesthetics and feel of knurling.My pocket rathers the newer style, my eyes rather the older lol.
Huge difference. If you take the diffusers off both the XT throws about twice as far but with a more narrower beam. The wildcat with it off is more like a super HD but not quite as brightThis picture really doesn't do this Wildcat 18650 justice with how nice it looks and feels in person. On top of that the neutral beam tint is spectacular.
Edit: Is there a big difference between this and the Hound Dog XT 18650 if you take the diffuser off?

How did you get it cut down? Did you buy it that way or cut it yourself? I've only found the wildcat/hound dog sized diffusers.Tried a 5 degree diffuser on an m61wl. It makes it a perfect small room candle with tons of run time.
I got it on edc light builder's website. It's the same luminit material but he offers different sizes. $12 each. Worked really nice in cleaning up the hound dog beam also at the cost of some throw. But that's how it goes.How did you get it cut down? Did you buy it that way or cut it yourself? I've only found the wildcat/hound dog sized diffusers.
