Smallest Lights of all types -

[Blindasabat]

I am usually on the look out for the smallest lights of each given type. I would like to list them here by category using everyone's input. Here are my guesses and/or known so far ones. To update this, please send me dimensions of the light you submit as smaller than the one listed and I will update this first post.

1. Single cell lights, modified/unmodified
A1. CR123 clickie, modified: Fenix L2P/L2T with Nekomane CR123 body 20.5x76mm
A2. CR123 clickie, unmodified: Fenix P2D(thinner overall) or Arc LS Kroll(smaller at tail switch), Lumapower Incendio momentary 76mm
B. RCR123 clickie: Fenix P2D(?) 81x22mm (momentary: P1D Leef 89x21.85mm)
C. CR123 twistie: Fenix P1 64.5x20mm (smaller by volume than Arc LS twisty 61x23mm), DX WF-C6 63.7mm
D. AA clickie: LRI Proton 91x17x20, Med Power: Lux3 Minipalm momentary clicky 91x18mm
E. AA twistie: 5mm: Arc AA 17x78mm, angle flood Zebralight 66.8mm x 18.2 mm
F. CR2 clickie: Fenix L2P with Nekomane RCR2 body 67x20mm, Cree DX Mini-Clicky 71x20mm
G. CR2 twistie: ARC mania's E-Micro 43.5mm long (~17mm diam), runners-up: JIL CR2 DD 51x19mm, or Larry's custom: 50x17mm
H. AAA: 5mm: Peak Matterhorn pocket (not made anymore?) 66x12mm, Hi-power:Jetbeam SSC 72mm
I. 14250 N-cell: Draco Lanyard 47x13mm (Ultra-rare pocket version 43x13mm) [Orb NS is 45x18mm Diam]
J. Misc: Drake lanyard 37x13mm (Über ultra-rare pocket version 34x13!) Orb Wee 34x 13/15. I love that there are lights smaller than a CR123!
K. 18650: Lumapower M1 133mm(?), in the future: Electrolumens DeCree 111mm(?); PEU's Neoca 18650 95mm

2. Two Cell Lights
A. 2xCR123 LED: Tubular: Fenix P3D (114x22mm) or non-tubular: SPY005 (77x39x21overall with 22mm bezel)
By my calculations, the P3D is only 75% of the Spy volume: 43,000 mm^2 versus ~57,000mm^2
B. 2xCR123 Incan: Tie: SF E2E and SL NF-2
C. 2AA LED: Peak Pacific
D. 2AA Incan: MiniMag(?)
E. 2AAA LED: Peak Baltic(?) or Pacific
F. 2AAA Incan: MiniMag 2AAA
G. 2C Lowe's / Advance Auto Parts 3W ~165mm long - New Cree version available!
H. 2D ????????

3. Three Cell Lights
A1. 3xCR123 LED: ???? Come on Somebody ???
A2. 3xCR123 Incan: ???? Come on Anybody ???
B. 3AAA: Sunlite Slim 1W 152mm
C. 3AA: MiniMag LED???
D. 3xC: LumaRay ?
E. 3xD: ???????


Can you tell I like smaller lights by what I can fill out myself?
Input from everyone is appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

If a light is acceptable that uses a different cell than you have listed, then the Orb Raw NS or TI are only 1.77 inches long!! They require rechargeable Li-Ion 14250's. 120 claimed lumens in a tiny package! I have an NS on order..

 

[jch79]

The FF3 might be on the list for the smallest twisty RCR123 light... if you can get your hands on one!

:shrug: john

 

[Blindasabat]

FF3 pocket body is 0.7mm longer than the P1. According to my sources...

Added Misc Category for "other than common battery sizes" and the Orb NS is it. For now, I think there is something smaller out there...

 

[IndecisiveFlashaholic]

What about the Draco and the Drake? From the pictures I have seen, they are tiny.

 

[Gunner12]

For 2 cell lights, don't forget the SPY 005 and 007. Side by side battery configuration. And the Firefli and the Draco and it's smaller cousin Drake.

 

[LEDcandle]

Yup, Draco and Drake using 10280 and 10180 respectively (28mm and 18mm lengths). Gotta be contenders...

How short is a n-cell?

 

[parnass]

1 AAA twisty = 1-LED Peak Matterhorn with pocket body.

Measures about 2.6 inches long and 0.45 inches diameter.

 

[gunga]

AA twisty, Jetbeam C-LE is shorter than an Inova X1...

3AAA

1AAA
Peak Matterhorn pocket??? It should be shorter than the Arc AAA.

 

[jumpstat]

Liteflux LF2 SSC Version, Twisty, AAA, 77mm lgth.

 

[IndecisiveFlashaholic]

What about the old Arc AA?

You might check your lengths..I think the Draco is 47mm and the Drake is slightly shorter..18mm is only .71 inches..think about it!

 

[Blindasabat]

Those are the battery lengths, ...BUT, I fell for it and temporarily put 18mm as the light length before I was fully awake this morning. My Bad.

I won't add coin cell lights as they are all about the same size, but honorary mention to the Photon Freedom as a fantastic small light - because it's so easily dimmable in either direction.

Not sure, but the old Arc LS may be the shortest CR123 with a twistie. Could be a bit fatter than the Fenix, though.

E. AA twistie: 5mm: ARC AA

IIRC, the CMG Infinity is a tad shorter than the ArcAA.

 

[knot]

Does anyone make a CR2 or 2xCR2 flashlight? * never mind. I just ran search

 

[Blindasabat]

Does anyone know dimensions of the Old Arc LS and Spy 005/007? I always thought the ARC LS was 25-24.4mm Diam. Never knew the length. But I think the P1 is still smaller.

[Flying Turtle]

I'll make a measurement as soon as I get home (1 hour) unless someone beats me to it.

Geoff

Okay, here are the measurements of my LSL. With the twistie tailcap it is 61 mm long. With the clickie (Kroll) it is 80 mm long. The width is 23 mm.

 

[tvodrd]

My CR2 avatar is 50.4mm x 17.07mm dia. My Jil DD measures 51.44mm x 19.96mm dia, and my Orb Raw 48.9mm x 20.06mm dia, but lacks a lanyard attachment provision. I don't know if scratch-built rates as modified.
