Smallest 500+ lumen flashlight?

[RobertM]

Doesn't matter if it's incan, LED, or HID, what is the smallest 500+ lumen flashlight available today? 500 minimum torch lumens, not bulb lumens.

What about the Wolf Eyes M90-13V-150R Rattlesnake:

...with a 700 lm Lumens Factory EO bulb:

Don't expect it to run cool, or long battery life

Hmm,my vote the mega-micro over 400 lumens 1xcr123 batt (not 500,but I doubt you would notice much) .

If you are willing to mod, a good RCR123 and this light with a Seoul P7 instead of the Cree.

Non modded, a 18650 light DDing a P7 might be the next closest in size.

THIS may interest you. I have one, and the light coming out the front of it is absolutely stunning. It blows my Tiablo A8 and ROP HI outta the water. Probably my most useful light to date.

Those little TrustFire lights with a P7 in them look pretty tempting. Which would be a better setup to add a P7 to: an RCR123 or an 18650 light?

These little lights look like they might work for my usual 5-60 second bursts that I use my lights for :naughty:

 

[mdocod]

don't run a P7 on a RCR123. Read the write up for the mod, it draws 3.1A DD from an 18650. Maximum safe discharge rate for most 3.7V RCR123s is ~1A. I'd imagine on a RCR123 it would come to equilibrium around 2A with a runtime of maybe 5 minutes. The cell would only survive a few cycles. Go for the 18650.

maybe primary cr123 with a driver.

What about an Elektro Lumens Shadeslayer-7 FatBoy? (Advertised at 1400+ lumens, 4 inches long).

 

[gswitter]

Probably not the smallest, but fivemega's 2x18500 Prince (WA1111) is worth mentioning.

 

[Glen C]

Depending on your application, the Wolf Eyes P7 Sniper may be close. It is small.

 

[Juggernaut]

I don't know if he still makes them but Elektro Lumens made the Fire Lion which made 550 lumens I think and was really small.

 

[Rat6P]

I saw a surefire 3P with a P7 dropin around here somewhere.......can't find it now.

It was AW's 3P.

CR123s (rechargeable or primary) don't supply enough current to power a multi-chip LED up to 500 lumens. The smallest feasible cell to use would probably be a 18500. The host could also be optimized so that it's not much larger than the cell itself.

When the MC-Es come out (physically smaller than P7, which should be a big improvement for tiny hosts), I definitely want to make a EDC that runs on a 18500, or 18650, with a neutral white emitter, and a variable output driver, along with some sort of temperature feedback.

The thought of having similar output to a de-focused ROP in a pocket light is incredible, even if it could only be sustained for short bursts due to heat.

I can't think of anything that's brighter or throws farther for it's size. (in stock form)


EDIT

 

[jumpstat]

What about this one...

A Milky SF KL2 3xUSWOH SSC X464.
It churns out 464 lumens (Regulated) for approximately 54minutes on a single 18650 protected rechargeable battery. More pictures below.
