I’m curious how the head and tube perfectly align for the one on the right (Citadel ?), I’ve seen it before and thought it looks really great. Although I wish these nice lights were more compact, they look fairly large for the size of the cell.
Jesse who makes the Citadel in his one man CNC shop makes them on the lathe first and then screws them as tightly as they fit together and then does the long cuts on the assembled body. When you screw it tightly it will always align perfectly.
I see, looking at pictures the tube is screwed down against the pill, I guess the pill must have some kind of hard stop when screwed down so that it doesn’t change position, as opposed to say and S2+ where the pill compresses the oring thus doesn’t have a hard stop.
Okay, I'm not an EDC guy, I got here from /all (is it called that?)
So I have no idea.
Those are basically the exact same size, even the gap for the screw on front is the same. How different are these exepct for the design. I assume they use AA batteries? Do they use the same LED too? Maybe even the same driver board for the different light modes?
