Hmmm maybe something like the Jetbeam JET-III PRO ST.

In addition to the Jetbeam ST, there is the Lumapower Encore and another inexpesive model called the L-mini (or something like that found in the dealers section).

Love the JetBeam but here is a cheaper and easily modded option Sgt. Burkett. http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=184071

I was hoping for something more along the lines of this sort of look: http://www1.dealextreme.com/productimages/sku_8219_1.jpg but obviously bigger to accommodate a 18650

What's the difference?



Same form just the Sgt. Burkett is nicely Hard Anodised. :twothumbs

What's the difference?

The DX model is "blingy".


..and that's probably important since the OP is looking for something with a "smooth lipstick style".

Good call on the Sgt. Burkett, Norm. Now you got me wanting one

I guess most lipstick doesn't come with knurling? :thinking: Maybe it should.

..you guys just ain't gettin' the whole "lipstick" concept are you?!

No I'm not really familiar with lipstick just torches. :shrug:

Me too! When I'm on CPF I usually have a beer in one hand and a doughnut in the other(I am Canadian after all):drunk:

Thanks for your suggestions so far...Pretty funny..

What i was trying to get across is that i like torches with no identifying marks, ridges, grooves or patterns or grippies. Or even Logo's if possible,Just smooth and flush.

Also i want something that can give a tight focus, long throw and max power hence the 18650 but without going to a power hungry P7, MCE or Ostar.

I got to admit that shiney dx one is pretty nice but there is no real details for it.

See if you can talk Orb into building you an 18650.

I don't think anyone makes a "smooth" 18650 light. Probably because so many people complain about slippery lights here.

The Horus is about what you're looking for, but it uses an AA sized battery.

Or the JetBeam E3P.

 

[gav6280]

Both the JetBeam E3P and the Horus Titanium Q5 FD-1.3 look fantastic! exactly what i want, The hours is even waterproof to 40M.....but.......

They are all a bit to small and would both benefit from better run times with a bigger battery such as a 18650.

And could be driven much harder at around 1050ma. The slight extra width would also mean a wider reflector so it could be more focused and throwie.

Have i spotted a niche gap in the market? ohh...

I got one of these of KD and it performs pretty well for the price ($22). About 2 hrs on high (200 lumens?), nice beam, and so on.

Of course, then I got a batch order of 5, 4 of which were fine and one of which doesn't work so I'm returning it. YMMV, but I do like the ones that work.
