Smooth lipstick style.

Hmmm maybe something like the Jetbeam JET-III PRO ST.

In addition to the Jetbeam ST, there is the Lumapower Encore and another inexpesive model called the L-mini (or something like that found in the dealers section).

Love the JetBeam but here is a cheaper and easily modded option Sgt. Burkett. http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?t=184071

I was hoping for something more along the lines of this sort of look: http://www1.dealextreme.com/productimages/sku_8219_1.jpg but obviously bigger to accommodate a 18650

What's the difference?

Same form just the Sgt. Burkett is nicely Hard Anodised. :twothumbs

The DX model is "blingy".

..and that's probably important since the OP is looking for something with a "smooth lipstick style".

Good call on the Sgt. Burkett, Norm. Now you got me wanting one

I guess most lipstick doesn't come with knurling? :thinking: Maybe it should.

..you guys just ain't gettin' the whole "lipstick" concept are you?!

Me too! When I'm on CPF I usually have a beer in one hand and a doughnut in the other(I am Canadian after all):drunk:

Thanks for your suggestions so far...Pretty funny..

What i was trying to get across is that i like torches with no identifying marks, ridges, grooves or patterns or grippies. Or even Logo's if possible,Just smooth and flush.

Also i want something that can give a tight focus, long throw and max power hence the 18650 but without going to a power hungry P7, MCE or Ostar.

I got to admit that shiney dx one is pretty nice but there is no real details for it.

See if you can talk Orb into building you an 18650.

divine · Dec 28, 2008

I don't think anyone makes a "smooth" 18650 light. Probably because so many people complain about slippery lights here.

divine · Dec 28, 2008

The Horus is about what you're looking for, but it uses an AA sized battery.

Or the JetBeam E3P.

gav6280 · Dec 28, 2008

Both the JetBeam E3P and the Horus Titanium Q5 FD-1.3 look fantastic! exactly what i want, The hours is even waterproof to 40M.....but.......

They are all a bit to small and would both benefit from better run times with a bigger battery such as a 18650.

And could be driven much harder at around 1050ma. The slight extra width would also mean a wider reflector so it could be more focused and throwie.

Have i spotted a niche gap in the market? ohh...

I got one of these of KD and it performs pretty well for the price ($22). About 2 hrs on high (200 lumens?), nice beam, and so on.

Of course, then I got a batch order of 5, 4 of which were fine and one of which doesn't work so I'm returning it. YMMV, but I do like the ones that work.
