14500 body that will lego with E series tail and head?

[Munkel]

Anyone seen anything like that? Seems like a great size for pocket carry and with the right dropin could even run on a AA or a 14500. I know my favorite lights have tended to be that size. Small AA/14500 that is just a bit longer than an E1 series light.

Thanks!

Malkoff MDC AA body will accept an E-series head, as long as you don't mind the integrated McClicky tail.

Thanks, I saw that, was really hoping for something that would take advantage of the 14500 battery for more brightness options. Pictures are deceiving of course but that Malkoff looks huge for a AA light.

There's a few photos and ideas in https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/vme-ideal-pairing.476021/ but you can use that body and a 14500 with any E-series head that will operate from a single li-ion cell. This includes the full-output M61 drop-in, along with the lower output versions.

Nice, thanks, researching Balrog bodies now although I doubt I will ever see one for sale.

Thanks!

18500 is almost same length of 14500 but 4mm fatter with capacity of more than double.

E head / E tail body

You got yours.

LumensFactory has a lot of E series Lego-able parts, I've had good success finding c to e adapters and e series clips and bodies there

The Aleph 1.5x123 battery tube is available at the Sandwich Shoppe. It is just the right length for a standard AA primary, with a Delrin sleeve around it to keep it centered. You can use any E tail and E head you like.Your light will be in the neighborhood of 4.5 inches in length. I have two setups like this, one with VME head and one with an Aleph 19 head, and I like them a lot.

Any E2e body with a delrin sleeve will do. And they tend to pair nicely with anything e-series

For my pockets, it works nicely, especially since I can use Z52. It is longer than Malkoff AA though.
