Olight T25 R5 on 2 x 14500??

[FlashPilot]

A few vendors show 2 x 14500 compatibility with the Olight T25 R5, but its not listed as such on Olight's site. Has anyone tried this configuration yet?

You cracked me up man! : )

The Olight website says it clearly: "2xAA batteries (0.8 > 4.2V) Cannot support 2 similar sized li-ion batteries"

Hey...whats that smell!?

Olight does an incredible job on these reflectors, and they work much better with the XP-G, and G2 than they ever did with the XR-E. The forward clicky is so soft and easy to use, and the finish is amazing. An optional diffuser can be purchased, and if they get the tint right on this version there is no way I am not buying it.

On the Olight website only the T20 and T25 are available with XP-G2.
What happened to the T10 and T15? Have they been discontinued?

Does that mean it will support 1 eneloop and a 14500? i wish they would stop using google to do their translations.

No, it should however take a 14500, and a dummy AA cell.
