    Brightest compact single 18650 flashlight?

    that is beyond what 1 led can do it is also pretty much beyond what 1 18650 can do if you find something that does that, it will be thermally and time limited wle

    What keeps you from being interested in the MecArmy PT-18?

    would like under $35 , more light levels, no strobe, plain cylinder/tube shape {don't like the 'fat head' form factor, or all the 'fluting' at the ends } wle

    University Project - How many lumens required for reading?

    pretty sure this won;t work it works better in cool areas, depends on temp difference, not just temp solar cell plus cheap rechargeable bat would be the best thing mechanically powered things need extra food to run a ctually wle

    Bought an astrolux s1 wanna ask u battery question!

    --i don;t think the 5A drain of the A1 will be a problem mostly it is vapers with 'mechanical mods' - which overdischarge the cells with no protection talking about 20+ amps there most flashlights will not let the bats overdischarge none of them will draw 20A and chargers will not charge...

    I Want A Flashlight With More Throw Any Any Of The 1 X 18650 Lights

    usually, long throw means tight beam pattern, which is unrelated to battery type or number of cells. it means 'large diameter head', and that usually is packaged with multi-cell lights for some reason. The longest thrower i have is a 5-8 year old light i found on the road side, slightly bent...

    Is there a 3k lumen light that can be used for edc?

    i would not consider 2x18650 or 1x26650 EDC but ok for you.. as you say, at that light level, you also have big heat problems, making either weight or size a lot bigger than the 1000 lumen 18650 lights, which also get pretty hot wle
