Hi,

after I posted that the light with glued thread is not too hard to open I got a tip that BLF chadvone had a tube laying around that fits,
he said its most likely a BLF A6 18350 tube so I ordered it and I can cornfirm this one fits.

But there are some minor differences.

The result is a very light but powerful headlamp.

I use an Efest protected 18350 900mAh battery its a very tight fit the diameter and lengh are the max what would fit.

With an Panasonic 18650B and magnet.

I also got the AR glas from my Jetbeam Jet-1 MK in it or maybe upgrading to a microtextured lens from BLF pflexpro user.

106g with 3 strap headband magnet removed,
97.55g headband just the horizontal band
and cut the silicone holder for the 3. band should remove weight even more.

After screwing the BLF tube on the skilhunt light I noticed that the A6 has a lot longer tubes to screw in,
so I had to move the orings in front of their normal position.

But unfortionally the BLF tube is 0,3mm thicker as the Skilhunt and their orings are larger.

I tried to get the skilhunt orings on the BLF tube, but it was not enough to make it fit,
they were squezzed out a bit.

So I decided to get the tube where the orings have to be thinner in diameter.
Used first a dremel to get the anodisation off
and then used very carefuly a metal saw to get it about 0.5-0.7mm less in diameter.

Cool mod! I have the body, but not that light. I use it on my BLF light. Now I wonder what else it could be made to fit? lol

How does the H03 shorty run on a single CR123 primary? With a 2.7-8.4V working voltage, will it drain all the juice in a CR123?

The Light has only a buck driver, so it wont boost the voltage, at 3V you can get only low modes
Aspire 1100mA 18350 cell should work great

Thanks, I didn't know it had a buck driver only. Will it run at the M1-70 lumens level on a cr123? I caved in and ordered a Skilhunt H03 today due to the great price.
