A bunch of Amazon reviewers said that they use 18650s. Another one said that he tried it, but the housing is wider than an 18650, so it jiggles inside the flashlight.
Now, if you need two and don’t mind a 300lumen light, these might be a better choice. so you can now get double the run time LOL…
Not the same brand and they don’t use TACTICAL multiple times in the name, but same lumen. And looks pretty darn close. But from my jab at the product, if they don’t post the run time, it’s a red flag. Looking at the one I left a link too, appears 45 minutes is it. But two different brands, same specs. And you can get one for under 5 bucks, free shipping. Just a thought.
By George, I do believe you’re correct, sir! At least, that is, until Amazon realizes the fail, and up’s their price, as happens so often in cases like this.
I bought a couple of flashlights very similar to these (same bulb, battery holder, sliding zoom function, low/bright/strobe, end button), though mine didn’t have the groovy cooling fins.
While they were working, they worked very well, nice heft to them, bright and handy with the belt clip. But the switch at the end on both of mine failed at different times, and though I was able to repair one of them (I couldn’t resuscitate the other one), that switch broke internally again, never to flash no mo’.
I’ve picked up several of these elsewhere too, that look EXACTLY the same (but with a different/no logo painted on) for usually about $5. So here’s another data point to the others mentioning the same thing.
