Want suggestions about a new flashlight

[nopeda]

I have an UltraFire WF-502B flashlight I've been using for a couple of years. I've put a lot of hours on it and overall it has done a pretty good job, but it's getting more and more glitchy as time goes on. It doesn't want to come on a lot and when I give it a tap it often starts strobing and it takes a few clicks to get it to a regular full on mode. I've never had any use for the strobe mode or any of the others besides full on, and now would like to get a different type of light that only has the one mode, full on, without all the other stuff to screw up. Can anyone suggest a good light that's as bright or brighter than the UltraFire I'm using, that only has on and off without all the other modes to wade through, and that will take the same rechargable batteries BRC 18650 3000mAh 3.7V li-ion?

Thanks for any help!

Have you considered exchanging the driver/LED part only, and keep the rest of the flashlight housing? :thinking: (tube, switch etc).

That should be fairly easy with an UltraFire WF-502B.

How about a SolarForce host and the new SportTac triple dropin?

You might try a solarforce host and see if the 502B dropin will work in it without any problems.
