Thanks, but $1200 ain't in my budget any time soon.
You missed the point in the post. today and tomorrow it is 50% off...get a great can light for $600.

I haven't seen Sanyo or Tenergy 26650s anywhere and I'm pretty sure if you find some they'll be counterfeit.

I'm happy to take your word for that. My batteries are all 18650s and the Sanyo and Tenergy are "as rated". I got 6 x Sanyo (3400mAh) for something like $8 apiece (with shipping), buying on eBay. From a Canadian seller, IIRC.
If 26650s are generally only 4000 mAh (is that right?), I wonder if they are really worth messing with anyway, when you can get 18650s that are 3400.
I took a look at their gear at DEMA; appears to be quality, well-made stuff, and serious guys starting this new on-line direct-sales activity.Doh! I saw where you said it was $600 off and when I went to the site, something made me think it was normally $1800 and being offered for $1200.
At $600, that is a more realistic consideration. Now I have some questions, which I will post in the other thread. But, since you said in this thread that it is a "great can light", can you say what your assessment is based on? Is that just based on specs? Or do you or someone you know have hands-on experience with this light? I am not familiar with the Deep 6 brand. Does that factor into your assessment?
Well, it appears they only had two on the flash special.They sold out of those in a few minutes. Just saw on Facebook page for them.
What's the burn time on a 18650? I get about 90 minutes to noticeable loss of brightness from a single-LED T6 XM-L, makes me wonder if the 3-LED version runs out of juice before I run out of air. Let's ignore battery capacity: mAh ratings printed on half the rechargeables out there are about as meaningful as lumen ratings on those flashlights.
