Is there any 18500 lights made these days? I love the idea of almost as much capacity as an 18650 but still the option to run AA/L91/NiMH if needed. Wish list would include high CRI and a no memory or strobes but I can't think of anything that even runs 18500/AA right now. Maybe the Peak Logan 17500, but then thats 17500 isn't it?
18500 lights?

My WF-500 Incan takes 2x 18500 batts, that`s about as High CRI as it gets, it`s also single mode

I've been very tempted to slap 2s incan together, actually. In this case, though, I am looking for a single cell setup.

The JetBeam RRT-01 2020 version comes with a pair of battery/body extension tubes that permits a variety of cells lengths from 18350 -18500 - 18650!
The 18500 configuration actually looks nice (not so much the 18650.)

Here's the RRT01 configured in 18500 format running off of a single 1.2V NiMH, works despite it not being spec'd.

You might find some of the less expensive lights that take 3xAAA might also fit an 18500... although you might need to make a sleeve for the loose fit. I have a 14500 that fits (lengthwise) and can run my Coast Polysteel 600R.... it could take a much larger diameter battery but different flashlights will have different internal diameters.
