18350 powered lights

Who besides Peak makes lights that can take single 18350 cells?

Mac's Customs - Tri-EDC

Mac's Customs Tri-EDC and Oveready's Moddoolar Pocket come to mind quickly, I'm sure there are others...
Also, fivemega is doing a run of 18350 bodies.

-Jas.

edit: fivemega is sold out of 18350 bodies, with no immediate plans for a future run.

Nice but not really what I had in mind... what about production lights that go for under say $100?

18350 is not a new standard size, but was a special request to AW by CPF members and custom light manufacturers. It may be some time before it becomes a commodity option.

AW is not the first or only maker of cells this size... They've been around for at least a few years now.

Macs sst-50 edc is also bored for 18350 now.

That surprises me because CPF members have been crying for an IMR17670 for years to no avail.

That's good to know. Of the two, I'd rather have a SST than a Tri. Cheaper and a better UI.

The old L2m´s don´t accept 18mm cells, the newer ones (that came with the extension included) accept 18mm.

The common fivemega 16340 body sold by Nite/Wonderlite holds 18350 cells too.

Thanks Eric. I knew I had seen that someplace - thought I was losing my mind!

Producing a new cell takes investment and risk. Encouragement for the IMR 18350 included large purchase commitments. I don't believe the 17670 size has received as much.

Even with the help of standards governing boards (which we lack), new standards take time and persistence. The 18340/18350 size has been around in the form of unprotected LiCo, a temperamental combination that limits adoption. My point was merely that AW has taken the first step of producing this size battery in an adoption encouraging configuration/chemistry, reducing the risk for flashlight makers who might which to support it.

Wow, I had no idea! In that case, cheers to AW. The 18350 is great because it provides about 50% more capacity, or 50% more power, than RCR123 without making the light any longer. I just wish more lights were made 1-2mm wider to accommodate 18mm batteries. And I'd really appreciate the ability to Lego 18350 and 18650 body tubes.

So what's the latest on complete and currently being sold 1x18350 lights? We should start a list...

Jetbeam RRT-01
Jetbeam TC-R1
Niteye EYE10
Mac's Customs XM-L and EDC line
Oveready's Moddoolar Pocket
Peak Everest P7
Peak Pyrenees XP-G
Peak Ural XM-L
Dark Sucks?
What else????

Add to that list, the Jetbeam TC-R1 (Allright almost the same..)

Peak Ural XM-L, Pyrenees XP-G, and Dark Sucks Alpha series.
