What make & model is the light?

there are some nice little lights for this sort of application here: http://www.cavediver.net/forum/showt...ry-is-occupied

Only if I have something to breathe thats not going to kill me.
We can not direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails.
I've got one of the newer ones I really like. The listing claims it takes 2 18650s (and that version may exist) but it looks identical to mine which takes only 1. The pictures are a bit distorted, but they show the handle against the length and mine is the same length.
My suggestion: Skip this package. If you are into the 18650 setup you can get a nice charger for $20 (nitecore intellicharger i4), and get a few panasonic cells. The light is very good, but you can get it for $15 less without those garbage batteries. They'll probably be enough to get you by on a low setting, but I'd rather have more capacity for a few bucks more.
I say this as someone who has used those batteries & chargers for some time before switching to the better intellicharger and panasonic cells. Hell, I've had 2 out of 3 of those chargers fail on me.
Also, it's worth noting the OTF lumen is probably closer to 600-700 than 2000, but it is a very bright light and is easily noticeable with more powerful primaries in use.
There are 1x18650, 2x18650, and 2x26650 versions... that I know of. It's hard to tell the lengths in the pictures. The 1x18650 light is cheaper but I've never tried it. I've converted a pair of the 2x26650 3XML version in to video lights.

Do you have a link to the 26650 version? I'd be interested to see it.
I'm pretty sure the one shown in the link is the single cell version. I used the included handle for reference, and it just as long against mine (the single cell) as it is in the picture. That doesn't mean they won't send out a 2 cell version though.
Some day in the next few weeks I'll try to get a post together comparing the 10 or so lights I've accrued.

ah okay, I thought there was a single led version, which would have a crazy run time with 2x 26650s.
I've got a single LED, single 26650 light. The only single LED, dual 26650 lights I've seen are cheap chinese canister lights.
