I'll stick with my original M20 Warrior. Overall, not very impressed with the latest offerings.

Initially I was very interested in the R40 that supposedly takes a 26650 cell. then I started wondering why the 26650 cell was shipped with the R40. The R40 uses the same custom 26650 as the S80, namely a 26650 with two contact rings on the base to allow charging from the base. I wonder if the R40 will function with a normal 26650 cell? I am slowly warming up to in-light charging, but not at the expense of a custom cell.

The SR Mini is also interesting - compact with a lot of light. The usual 3-5min step-down does not bother me since I simply switch thru/back to the highest output if needed.

Just noticed banggood has the R40 seeker in now,in your money $82

Think in a month or 2 i may get one for a truck edc,i have some 26650 cells spare,it is rechargeable so ideal in truck from a personal level...........imho too good for that if not used BUT it wont be when the **** hits the fan!!!


New olight cells too............well priced as well:thumbsup:

But if it uses a custom-cell, you can't charge your own 26650 cells.

Excellent point,i presumed as the cell does not come with light it would be a "standard" 26650,looking into it,and looking at tail cap you look very much in the right:thumbsup: looking at the 2 pins..............and olight have also released the 26650 cell with the base (neg) to suit the requirements.The cell is around £10 which is not bad imo but adds to the cost and as you said does not now fully meet my needs regarding my other 2x26650 cells

Thank you for pointing that out:thumbsup:

Does it use a custom cell? I'd expect to have the same 266650 cell as the recent FourSevens lights.

Unfortunately, the same 26650 custom cell for the R40 is also used in the S80. Look at Selfbuilt's review of the S80. The base of that 26650 is clearly different than standard. I also asked a couple vendors the same question - The R40 uses a very non-standard 26650. :sigh: Therefore the R40 was instantly dropped from my buy list!

i really hope the r26 does not do something stupid like this ....

Thanks for the info! Good to know.

SR Mini

"Great leaping lumens, Batman. How did The Joker get his hands on the only pre-production model!?"

Olight just mentioned they are busy writing text about a light, that isn't in the 2014 catalog.

Must admit,so far out of the new 2014 lights,olight has more of my interest,closely followed by armytek............

 

[HelzBelz]

Anybody get the R40 yet?

 

[hikingman]

The SR Mini looks just like the SR52 but without big reflector and a "Mule" like head instead.

Olight i am really starting to love,the m20 yes just m20 i love a lot,simple,well made..........did i say i love it :laughing:

So i want more light,definitely with an O before it:thumbsup:

I have always liked the SR51,just looks a great light,now the SR52 appeals even more as newer version........whats not to like.

So being honest i will wait for vinh,i think it will make a great light awesome sr52vn..............:twothumbs i am there already :laughing:

Sorry on digression here........I keep pondering still over the m22 kit,really looks spot on,just got to point that i have lots of single 18650 lights thats holding me back.

So sr52 is on my list,not sure on r40,but for cost wise its an option still for a truck edc even though i am not over happy with the "special" 26650 cell required..........

I can see a couple of new olights being added to my collection this year
