U.S. made P60 style host in 20700/21700

I’d design for the 21700 and leave 1mm play for the 20700. Like, big deal. An 18350 light can easily take a 16340 and CR-type cells, so who cares about a little slop? In fact, give it a teeny bit more room to accommodate protected cells (double-wrapped, sense strip, etc.).

Aside, ain’t familiar with Solarforce lights, goggled around for images, wasn’t thrilled (stylistically) with any of the 4 listed. They’re okay, but things that look like a big hex-nut for a collar, etc., never thrilled me. Would probably feel lousy stuffed into a pants pocket. :smiley:

Feel free to disagree (this is all personal taste/preference anyway), but I always preferred sleek, over something that looked like it was cobbled together from various random plumbing supplies and engine parts.

Gimme something that has a constant-diameter battery tube and tailcap like a tubelight (eg, S2+), and the head of a (Convoy) M1, only without the shaved parts on the fins. That’d be a sharp-looking light, especially if made in multiple colors.

I’d be interested in an L2P or P1D. But I agree with above: future-proofing it to accept 21700 by making the battery tube 1mm wider would be a good idea.

8

Yup, I would be interested in the L2P, I love P60’s.

9

Yet another vote for the L2P style. I’d be interested in that, but like others I’d only be interested if it fits 21700 - no future work to fit cells we already know are coming on strong.

10

I would prefer L2P or L2N style and of course 21700 compatibility.
If we are at it: How about a 26650/700 version also - making a nice “Trustfire A8 style”-P60-host? :wink:

11

L2P or L2T preferred for me. 21700 for compatibility agreed. If there’s any chance for copper that would be awesome.

12

P1D or L2N sized for the 21700 would be my preference. An L2P with the head style from the L2B would be a nice looking light as well.

13

Yes Copper can be done.

14

Any progress on an L2P style with 21700 support?
I picked up some new 4800mAh 21700s and would love to use em in a flashlight.

15

Interested l2t with smooth head and tail. I agree with lightbringer that hex nut collar is not very appealing. It has its place in tactical applications but for EDC doesnt work.

17

I would like to see the l2n body tube with l2t head and tail. Either stainless or copper, or both

18

Will it be possible to keep it Head/Bezel and Tailcap thread compatible with Solarforce or SureFire C Format in general? The reason why I ask is because I love Lego’ing the parts…

Kinda curious what ever happened with these? Was Texas Lumens the maker?

Hi Beam!

Here is one of the P-60’s in copper…. Sorry I haven’t been on BLF much…. 18 hour shop days are about all I can handle!!! THANKS FOR ASKING!!!

21

Here is a pair of our TLSA9 Series headed out the door…. Copper seems to be the metal of the month here!!!

22

Here are some TLSA9 engines with glow gaskets installed…. 3 of the XML-HI in each one… Go to the site and take a look.

THANKS!! TL

23

Thanks TL, those are some really nice lights!

24

confirmed, Texans like bright torches!

25

TL, will the TLSA9 Mechanics head be available to purchase as a part? Also, are the TLSA9 parts compatible with the p60 parts?
