I am also curious about other 14500 lights.
Really I guess I'm looking for closest thing to a compact 18650 light's output, but with a 14500 cell.
I realize there are more small 3.7/4.2V lights using RCR123 size, but I don't like the short stubby form factor, and 1xAA lights seem universally geared to NiMH cells. Dedicated 14500 with mode spacing designed for 14500 would be nice. Doesn't seem to be any of those in production lights at least.
Bought a Manker E11 recently, pretty good with NiMH, but my Efest 14500 should arrive Monday, we'll see.
