A Complete Guide to Weltool Flashlight Heads, Bodies, Batteries and Tailcaps

A Complete Guide to Weltool Flashlight Heads, Bodies, Batteries and Tailcaps

When it comes to tactical and professional lighting, Weltool stands out as one of the few manufacturers that has turned flashlight customization into an exact science. Their modular system allows users to combine different heads, bodies, batteries, and tailcaps to create a tool that’s perfectly adapted to their needs — whether it’s for law enforcement, hunting, military operations, or everyday carry.

The concept behind Weltool’s design philosophy is simple yet brilliant: instead of locking users into a single flashlight model, the company provides a complete ecosystem of interchangeable components. Each light head, battery type, and tailcap can be mixed and matched with compatible parts, giving you total control over power, beam type, and interface.

Let’s dive deep into this modular world and discover how the system works — and how you can build your ideal setup.

1. The Modular Concept: Flexibility Without Compromise

Weltool’s ecosystem is structured around three primary components:

  • Light Heads (LH and SF series)

  • Bodies (W, BB, SF, and EDC series)

  • Tailcaps (TC series and tactical adapters)

Each part is designed with precision threading and consistent voltage compatibility, ensuring seamless operation across models. This modularity means you can, for example, use the same LH5 high-CRI head on a compact 18350 body for EDC use, or on a larger 18650 body with a tactical tailcap forlonger runtime in the field.

The system isn’t random, it follows a carefully designed compatibility map that ensures power stability, beam optimization, and safe current handling.

2. Light Heads – The Heart of Illumination

Weltool’s LH series and SF series light heads represent the core of the system. Each one is tailored for a specific purpose, from high-intensity white beams to infrared (IR) and LEP projection.

LH Series Overview

Each LH head has a voltage range between 3.0 and 6.0 volts, depending on the model, and most are single-mode or dual-mode, providing either maximum output or simple two-level operation for field reliability.

For professional users, this modularity is golden — an investigator can swap between an IR head for covert work and a high-CRI head for forensic inspections without changing the whole flashlight.

SF Series Heads

The SF KE2-DF and KF2-A-DFT heads maintain compatibility with various body types and are optimized for tactical applications where beam focus and durability are critical. These heads pair exceptionally well with the SF MH60/61/62 series bodies, offering outstanding performance under extreme conditions.

3. Battery Options – Power for Every Mission

Weltool offers multiple power formats to balance runtime, weight, and size. The system supports:

  • 16340

  • 16650

  • 18350

  • 18650

  • 2 × CR123A

Each cell type can drastically change the light’s behavior, from compact carry to extended endurance.

Weltool Battery Types

The second chart explains the naming system for Weltool batteries:

  • UB: Built-in protection circuit and USB charging port — ideal for standalone charging.

  • PB: Protected battery without USB port, to be charged externally.

  • INR: Unprotected high-drain cell for maximum current output.

The last letter (e.g., UB, PB, INR) identifies its discharge characteristics: high-drain models are optimized for tactical bursts, while protected versions are safer for general users.

Examples of Battery Usage

  • The 18350 cell is commonly used with BB6, W35, or BB3 bodies for compact tactical setups.

  • The 18650 cell pairs with W65 or BB18+TC20 configurations for maximum runtime.

  • The 16650 and CR123A pairs offer backup or alternate options for cold weather or extended storage.

By choosing the right power source, you can decide whether your Weltool becomes a long-range searchlight or a pocket-sized EDC companion.

4. Bodies and Extension Modules

The flashlight body acts as the connection between the light head and power source.
Weltool’s range includes several main types, each optimized for size, current capacity, and use case.

BB and W Series

  • BB3 / BB6: Short bodies for 18350 batteries; great for tactical and weapon-mounted lights.

  • W35 / W65: Longer bodies for 18650 batteries, offering better grip and runtime.

  • BB18+TC20: High-current configuration designed for 18650 cells and powerful LEP heads.

Each body can handle different tailcaps and switch modules, depending on the current requirements (4A, 10A, or special indicator light functions). Some versions, such as W65, are also available with built-in USB-C charging, providing convenient power management on the go.The modularity allows users to choose between compactness or endurance, tactical mount or handheld, all using the same head module.

5. Tailcaps and Tactical Switch Modules (TC Series)

Weltool’s TC Series tailcaps are among the most technically refined in the flashlight industry. Each one is engineered for different electrical loads, activation styles, and mounting scenarios.
