This is really a solution looking for a problem.

A much simpler approach would be interchangeable battery tubes: ship the light with one or two tubes (1x18650/2xCR123A and/or 2xAA/2x14500) and provide additional options as separate purchases, or sell the light with all the tube options as a premium kit. A driver that can handle a voltage range of 1.0–9.0V would do the trick.

For myself, I don't agree. I don't want to carry around multiple tubes, even if I want to be able to use different types of batteries (while travelling, say). But there's always a tradeoff ... my guess is, the light's length is significantly longer than a comparably-performing light on any battery (ie., on one 16340 it's longer than a v11r; on an 186650 it's longer than a Klarus xt2c, etc.) I'd be absolutely thrilled if that weren't the case.

Re: Jetbeam WL-S1 xml

I've seen that post. But no info on review yet. Curious

I just thought we should keep everything in one thread.

Thread Merge, it is a good idea to have all the information in one thread. - Norm

Re: Jetbeam WL-S1 xml

Just ordered a WL-S1, just looking at the battery tube it looks the same outside diameter as the 18650 tube, maybe it might take a 18350 or 18490. If any one has it yet, can you measure the inside diameter of the battery tube - thanks.

Re: Jetbeam WL-S1 xml

I got one... And 18mm does not fit!
16340 fits well, but my Eagletac are doing hard on turbo mode. I think imr will be better.
Exactly diameter is 17,1mm on mine

Do a review :)
Did it come with that long tail cap tube?

Re: Jetbeam WL-S1 xml

I will do a review. But it will be in German... And atm I have no time for it.

It comes with this tailcap yes. Because of this, you can use 16340 or 14500 without adding an extender. The tailcap is it's own extender, pretty nice. But it makes the tube a little bit big
