Re: 1 x 18500 or 1 x 17500-cell flashlights?
Hi Paul, the Mr Bulk (Charlie Wong)'s LionHeart was an 18500 sized light, designed to run off a single 150A Pila.
McGizmo (Don McLeish)'s stuff is awesome, and to complete the 1.5 x 123 tube you need a tailswitch (two-stage, & lots of versions), a head (at least 3 varieties), and a "light engine", which is a custom converter/driver/led built to be easily exchanged between diifferent Aleph lights.
The switches, bodies and heads all mate with the Surefire E-Series, so lots of fun can be had.....
Yup. it costs money, but we're talking the best custom lights on this planet...
