Gday team any recommendations for a good single-18650 battery torch? Im not real keen on paying Led lenser prices as I really believe a lot of the cheaper stuff is just as good with the Panasonic batterys. Want something to chuck in the pack that has a bit more throw than the headlamp. cheers
Convoy C8 with an XM-L chip is my favourite single-18650 torch. Just make sure you get one with a smooth reflector. Should be around $15-20 USD. Plenty of light to 100m.
do they have an adjustable beam?Quote:

If you have a Maxtoch M24 it of course comes with 2 batt tube, but you can also get one batt tube for them:

There are lots of cheaper torches that use the triple cluster of AAAs. Can I simply drop in an 18650 to improve performance?
