My convoy S4 came in today so did my AW 1600's.
Running my 1 year old AW 2000s in it and I like it

Fenix makes great lights. I have a PD35 that I carry every day at work and on the go, clipped to my left pocket. I'm using a protected eagletac 18650 battery on it. The light has 5 brightness levels, almost too many because I have to actually count the levels as I'm adjusting them to keep track because they are fairly close to the same level as you increase them. It puts out 850 lumens and if you press and hold the side button (also adjusts the brightness) it will strobe like crazy. I don't have 18650s for my provari yet, I just swap 18490s fairly frequently. And I've heard the the Provari doesn't do so hot with protected 18650s. I'm not sure if AW IMR's would do real well in the light though. As my protected battery starts dying, the light prevents you from increasing the brightness to the max and will later automatically lower the brightness since the chip senses that the battery can't keep up.
Fenix PD35 ....
Eagletac D25 series lights are super nice too

I was looking at both of those and the Tx25c2, not sure which one yet, for when the bank account recovers after the 28th
The PD35 might be a little bigger than you may expect, but I carry it and some of my jeans are a little tight and it doesn't bug me. The EagleTac D25C2 I had carried a lot nicer, but only took cr123 batteries, not 18650's.
Just got mine today
Seems like the battery (efest)needs a spacer to work
Any one else having this issue?
Thanks

Which light did you get? Mine works with longer protected and regular IMR and both button and flat top but some only work with button as they use a ring to protect from reverse polarity.
Please be careful with the Convoys - they usually have no way to vent a runaway battery. Blow into the tube and you'll see what I mean.
Other than that, yes, 18650 lights everywhere in this house =)
Edit: That's in reply to Super_X - somehow my quoting didnt work

Interesting. wouldn't this be the case with any IPX-8 waterproof light?
Yes, exactly. That's why the "protected" batteries were born a couple of years ago.
I personally value my safety more than the waterproofness of a flashlight - and drill a hole in the tube.
Now if anyone really needs a waterproof flashlight, for illuminating the bathtub or whatever, just use protected batteries for at least some additional safety.
If it's the one I linked to, my AW IMRs, Sony VT4, and Panasonic NCR18650PD all work. IS the head and tail cap both tight? Both side should have springs.
I got the ultra fire one that was linked and my old efest imr 18650's work in it perfectly. Its a pretty nice light
when i first joined ECF. the one post that i have never forgotten was from Baditude. it went something like:
never buy a battery or charger with Fire in it's name

Any of you 18650 lights guys know if this one lives up to the hype?
NiteCore SRT7 Revenger Cree XM-L2 LED Flashlight
I watched some YouTube shootouts and read some great reviews.
How could it be worth 4-8x the price of some of the decent cheaper lights?
I'll probably get one of the cheaper lights but looking for input on this one.
EDIT - I forgot to mention that I need a dependable highly adjustable beam light for hiking.
I don't necessarily need a ton of features such as different colors.
Dependability, light weight, adjustability, efficiency & 18650 are necessary though.
Any suggestions for good lights fitting my guidelines?
Thanks
