Vintage Streamlight (Kel-Lite) 2C
I just got this vintage light. It was produced right after Streamlight buying Kel-lite in early 1980S so the body looks like a Kel-Lite more than Streamlight. This is the smallest 2-cell C size flashlight I have ever seen. Twist for on / off and using P13.5S bulb (same as Maglite) I use 2 x 18500 LiFePO4 batteries with a 6V Krypton bulb. Looks very nice. It is also possible to use 18500/25500/26500 (inner diameter of the battery compartment fits a battery with 26mm diameter) Li-ion batteries, or even 3x CR123A batteries with a 10 or 15 watts Xenon bulb.
It is so big compared with Maglite Solitaire
But it is this small when compared with Maglite 2C
Compared with Surefire 9P and Z2
