Are there any Inf variable XM-L lights single 18650 EDC?

Ive tried searching but its not working.

Sunwayman just announced one on CPFMP.

Yes, the all new Sunwayman V20C XM-L T6 above.
There is also the older Infilux IFE2 R5.
Also the Thrunite Scorpion XM-L...

The IFE2 has parallel sides, and is the most compact, almost like a pen with a lovely clip, but possibly the floodiest.
The V20C has a larger head.
The Scopion has the largest head, but then throws the most far...

Thanks

I just watched the scorpion video and it seems like its some kind of hybrid system not true Inf V. You have to move the tail switch to a certain position and then press and hold the tailcap to ramp brightness up or down. Its not adjustable from the twisty dial when illuminated.

Is the sunwayman (terrible name) 400 ansi lumens or LED surface lumens?

Does anyone make a single 18650 EDC size light that puts out more lumens say in the 6-800 range?

Wud suspect the V20C's 438 lumens is only LED surface.

For an 18650 in the 600-800 lumen range, try the Eagletac T20C2 Mk II XM-L @ some 720 lumens, but then it doesn't have your infinitely variable control.
Also try the 4Sevens Quark 1232 Turbo with some 450 lumens, and a big 38mm/1.52" head.

Be careful with hi lumen outputs on single 18650 EDC's, coz the small compact reflectors just can't handle too many lumens, esp more than say 300 lumens, without spilling/flooding to the sides - and not gaining much in throw.
If you want too many lumens, you will need a bigger reflector/head & big heat sinks for air cooling - hence it won't be an everyday carry anymore.
Life is a compromise...

Btw, when u say EDC, strictly speaking, an 18650 [2xCR123's] is only a "semi" EDC - it's not a real EDC; too big to be a real EDC, sticking out of your pocket like that - most people will notice. As long as you don't mind.

A real EDC must be a compact pocket sized single CR123 battery light, totally hidden away, eg HDS Systems EDC range etc...

Peak LED Solutions in Arizona has a few infinitely variable lights. They are a semi-custom maker, so you could probably get just the thing you're looking for. You have to call them, especially for something like this.

It is 438 OTF lumens, according to ANSI/NEMA FL1 standard.

I picked up one of these. Small and powerful but not inf V. Never the less I like it alot.

Boy that's Zebralight SC600 XM-L is darn compact for an 18650...

What a nice light. If only I did not had a TA21 allready...
I would buy the M40A if it had the same ui as this V20C
