500 lumens, twist ring mode selection?

[Vermonter73]

I'm looking for a 1x18650 light that lets me select the modes by turning a ring on the body with an output of at least 500 lumens on high. Any recommendations?

Fenix TK30.

The TK30's head is a bit bigger than I'd like. Any others?

500 lumens, 1x18650, No memory?

Ok, seems like the twist rings are rare with 500 lumens, so now I'm looking for a light with at least 500 lumens, runs on 1x18650, and NO MEMORY. I want it to always come on in high mode. I'd put a Malkoff M60 MC-E in one of my MD-2's, but they need at least 4.5v.

Any options?

Thanks

My best suggestion would be to wait for 4Sevens to release his Maelstrom series. I suspect that would completely satisfy your specs. Just don't know how long it'll be. It's been on the verge of release for quite a while now.

Once again, the Fenix TK30 would seem to meet your specs.

+1.
If we're correct, it should not be longer than 2-3 weeks--at least for the formal ANNOUNCEMENT--though actual ship date is less certain...

Deerelight DBS with a 1 mode MC-E Pill is a good choice, but it is 2x18650

Milky can put a MC-E in a Surefire U2 and get something like that...

A word of warning.
How long will you be running your light at a stretch? Worst case.
500 OTF lumens means running a SSC-P7, MC-E, or SST-50 close to full out. That generates A LOT OF HEAT. With a small 1*18650 light it gets hot in 5 minutes, TOO HOT TO HOLD in 10.
The hotspot of many of the 200+ lumen XR-E Q5/R2 and XP-G lights are brighter (though smaller) than the P7/MC-E 500 lumen floody lights. Check the LUX #s in addition to the Lumen #s. They may be more useful than the small 500 lumen lights.

EDC-MCE single mode.

+1 Bright, Bright, Bright and heatsinked to handle the heat. Failure not an option. Also Bright.

Milky makes a 500 lumen Roomsweeper, that will run off a 18650. Only comes with one setting, bright.

MG PLI might be worth checking out. Currently out of stock though. Available from shiningbeam

I was under the impression that most single 18650 mc-e lights dont truly get 500 otf lumens, but more like 350-400.

Wolf Eyes Explorer MC-E 3 mode. 18650. Digital sequence is 100% > 30% and 2%. If left off for more that 2 seconds the circuit will reset and start on high again. Claimed 580 lumens, although it is probably a bit less than what you want.
