It works fine. I like it because it's purely mechanical and simple as dirt. It's also easy to clean. Just pop the ends off, run a tissue through the tube and wipe down the other parts.

Being so simple with no electrical circuitry is also a detriment since there is no safety or master switch. Depending on how tightly you set your spring pressure differential you could light it up by carrying it around in your pocket. This isn't a big issue to me since I rarely do that.

But most don't have a master switch.... I have a couple magnum flashlight mods, but both are showing signs of the switch going out. Want something more simple, no wiring and this looks like a poor mans Steampunk Sparkplug kind of mod. I am going to work on building something close to it this week. I have some 18650 batteries I need to make use of.

Will you please advise me about the fit of a 18650 inside of ¾" copper tube? Next time I order in batteries I want to get some of those but I'm curious about how well they slide.

Crazy they slide fine in a 3/4 ID tube. 3/4 water pipe will be sloppy though.
18650 is supposed to be 18mm x 65 mm . But the ones I have run a bit big. Like 18.4mm which is about .725 inch . Still plenty of room for 3/4.

Interesting link Telescoping Pipe and Tube

Great. Sloppy and a little loose is good.

I wasn't sure of the "real" measurement on these batteries. The 14500 batteries can be as fat as 14½ mm in spots.

Thanks!
