Convert any Alpha to an 18350 powered "shorty"

The same Alpha power in a smaller package...and 1/4 the run-time. Well, you can't have everything right? A lot of people have asked for an Alpha with a "smaller footprint" and this is the solution. The shorty bodies are made in-house just a few at a time.

The body is about 1" shorter than a standard Alpha body, but uses the same head and tailcap as a full-size Alpha.

Shorty bodies are ONLY available as a stand-alone accessory (as shown here) they are not available as complete lights.

These bodies should be compatible with all current Blue-Label (blue/gold 3 digit serial number) and Ready-Made Alphas (black/white 4 digit number). All bodies are interchangeable.

They MAY NOT be compatible with the oldest Alphas (no serial number) because of a small change in the size of the tailcap thread.

You MUST use an 18350 IMR chemistry battery if you are going to run a Shorty body.

Standard Li-Ion batteries (RCR123 or 18350) are dangerous to use because they cannot safely deliver 3.4A of current.
CR123 disposable batteries are NOT compatible.
If you aren't sure what all of this means, you don't want to buy one of these.
