Recently I read an HKJ test/review of an 18350 with significantly better capacity than the currently available 16340's, so I decided to do a simple Google search for lights produced in the past year or 2 that run on a single 18350. I assumed it would be easy to find some recent lights that way, but for some reason the search was fruitless. I did find a thread in cpf, but it was from 2012. Technology has improved a lot since 2012.
I've previously owned at least one CR123/16340 sized light, in which a CR123 or 16340 was a very loose fit, with at least 2mm of space to the side of the battery. So I'm sure that I've owned at least 1 18350 compatible light, but I just never owned any 18350s, because back in 2012-2013 when I would've bought it, there really wasn't any significant difference in capacity between 16340 & 18350 batteries. But FINALLY it seems that they've figured out that a cylinder that can hold slightly more than half the internal mass of an 18650, probably SHOULD be capable of storing more than just 1/5th it's capacity!:thinking::thinking: **Seemed like such a no-brainer all along**:hairpull:
It would be helpful to have a list of recently produced lights that will accept an 18350. If anyone knows of 18350 lights produced within the past 1-2 years, please post them. Thanks....
