Help me with ideas for a host plz :)

Yeah second one looks cool. I like the C8-esque machining around the head, just below the bezel.

Wow, that C8 needs to get out more often, eat lessand not skip its veggies.
cool looking so i say 2 as well, but I can’t really seewhat is going on with all he stuff of 1

Thanks for the opinions guys!
In case someone from the future is wondering, that second light I found is the “G&P Scorpion” aka “SterOPS SRFB-10F” aka “Phoebus Horizon HID”
Clearly these three brands are getting their lights from the same OEM :stuck_out_tongue:

They look quite expensive
Idk what you wanna do but there are lights like SRK and boss1 that are not expensive (though the boss is not really budget)

I liked #2 looks better, but $350 is the cheapest?? As soon as I saw the price it became the ugliest light I have ever seen. :zipper_mouth_face: And that’s for a light that would need to be heavily modified if you were thinking LEDs.

You are better off having a custom body made for you or making one yourself I think. The reflector in these HID lights wouldn’t work for an LED either

Btw, here is the only review on the Amazon listing for the Hellfighter (3000lumens):

I bought a cheap $20 can light from fasttech that is about the size of an SRK.

Problem 1) cheapest material possible, plastic and crappy aluminum, even the handle was plastic.
Problem 2) even with a 4x18650 body my electronics are too big to fit inside :C
Problem 3) the boss1 and SRK only have about 60-80mm diameter head, I’m looking for 4”+

So yeah, that was a waste of $20…
I considered using a carbon fiber tube for the body but 4”–6” is soooo expensive.
Although by buying a light and using the body that isn’t considered a scratch build and I wouldn’t be able to enter that forum build contest for next year.
Conflicted… :confused:

hahaha yeah I saw that review xD
I searched multiple places and actually found it cheapest here for $245 USD: http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Accessories_Flashlights_G_P_35W_HID_Spotlight.htm
However I’m now having a conversation with will about his hellfighter, so that one is under consideration too and is an extremely well known brand. (seems like nobody here had heard of the G&P light before)
I don’t know if I will do a conversion to LED, if I do then I will be ordering a reflector from optiforms or phoenix to replace the stock one. The main thing is getting a high quality aluminum host.

PS. in my other thread about custom building a flashlight body it seems like it would cost a lot more, since it would require designing, cnc lathe-ing , anodizing, etc… so paying $250 and modding is a much more appealing option.

I’d vote for number 2

Located in “United States”…. but in Russian

FPSRussia?

Thanks for the input :slight_smile:

What is in russian?

“Simplicity”’s location

Oh lol didn’t notice that!

I get inquisitive when someone’s first post has an ad in the signature :innocent: :smiling_imp:

Are you like super observant or something?? It’s like you read all the words on the page that I don’t…… xD

I’d have to agree with the others here for #2 flashlight.
The other one looks like a starter motor for a car…lol

Or a bomb… xD
tbh I really like both, 2 is more flashlight looking, 1 is more military looking

  1. just looks a little silly to me the way the handle is attached and goes under it.

It’s a rail mount for miniguns:

Can also be used to reduce recoil :smiley:

True, but it works as a great stand does it not? :slight_smile:
