In their d25lc2 mini? Doesn't have to be quite that small (4.25" x .88"), but in that neighborhood.

Max output not as important as efficiency & compactness, I'm just not a huge fan of unavoidable 200 second modes, and idk what it even drops to after that.

What's wrong with the step downs?
 
Really anything less than or equal to four & a half inches by less than one inch dia. that is a twisty with something mor than 5min runtime for all of its modes.
 
have you seen the DQG 18650 II? If I had an 18650, I think I'd have a DQG to put it in.

If you want a clicky you might want to look at the Convoy lights. You can select how hard it is driven (therefore runtimes and brightness) and the tint of the emitter. They are inexpensive and good quality.

Convoy S2 Cree XM-L U2-1B 1400ma 2-Group 3/5-Mode EDC LED Flashlight


To switch mode group: switch to low mode and wait for 5 seconds.
As soon as you notice a quick blink, half press the power switch
and mode group is then toggled.

Group 1 (5-Mode): Lo (5%) > Mid (40%) > Hi (100%) > Strobe > SOS;
Group 2 (3-Mode): Lo (5%) > Mid (40%) > Hi (100%)

From a 3400 mAh battery one might expect:

low: 30-35 lumen: 40 hours.
mid: 150-200 lumen: 6 hours.
max: 400-450 lumen: 2.5 hours

OK so I made some notes:
the S2 is 124 mm long, and it takes unprotected and protected batteries, both button top and flat top.
the S4 is 119 mm long and the site states that it takes FLAT top batteries

The S5 and S6 are 115 mm long, and the Stainless steel S7 is 116 mm long and those three only take flat top unprotected batteries.

the S3 is also 115 mm long and there is no mention of battery limitations (You might want to check with them first, but looking further...)
I found one review of the S3 that states that the "Sanyo protected batteries don't fit. Much longer."
 
^poppy those twist to turn on and the button is only used to mode select, or clicky is the on/off too?

I had not. That is amazingly short for an 18650, even if it is 25mm in diameter, still under an inch. Good first mode too.
