It will replace the Cygolight Hotshot that I lost a month or so ago.
I'm trying to standardize all my lights to use 18650 batteries.
What is your preferred brand of 18650 battery? Buddy gave me an Ultrafire, and I made a bar mount for it out of old nightsun parts. Its great, but the batteries are crap. One goes dead in 20 minutes, the other was not so bad, but not very good either.
Thinking about getting a couple more, mounting two on the bar. That should be very bright, but need to get better batteries for them.
