Unfortunately, the H502 isn't compatible with the 14500. Zebralight's wording must be easy to misread as I misread it the first time too. It can take a lithium primary though.

Humph, I hadn't considered it may be too wide. I haven't used a full flood in a cave before, let alone a 180 degree flood. In your opinion, what is it about the really wide beam makes it less desirable? Is it a lack of shadows?

Mine is nominally a 120 degree flood but it feels like 180 and for me that's way too wide. A lot of the beam is wasted, unless you like the glare on your nose and pretty much the whole front of the body.

Any Zebra has permanently off switch - just turn the cover 1/4 of round.
