I’d love to try one! Maybe something with a tactical look.
Actually, I think those with the cutouts are the absolute worst, yet every light and its grandmother has them. :confounded:
If they don’t line up with a side-button, a pocket clip, etc., they’re just downright awkward., and in at least one light I have (UT20?), it just bites into my thumb trying to use it while still being able to access the side-button.
And they’re much less stable when tailstanding vs a full-circle, especially on a slightly-tilted or otherwise irregular surface.
The way I carry the ’502 (several years, daily), the clip goes under my knuckles and is sort of a natural grip (like where brass-knuckles would sit).
Stick “ears” on the cap that don’t line up absolutely perfectly with where my thumb rests, and I won’t buy even a single one. And I’m not about to half-twist when I want to press the switch, then half-twist back when I’m done. Yecch.
I would be interested
Any updates on this or not enough interest?
Same here, gladly would buy…
but if it’s like almost perfect
Meaning no sharp edges
No hard knurling like C8+
firm clip (not s2+ type)
18650 preferably due to diameter
Forward clicky
Read the OP…Thread is for a 21700 P60 Light….
I’d like to see some slightly more aggressive knurling than the S2+ like what was done on the YLP Unicorn 1.0.
I had e-mailed Simon from Convoy. He responded and after a few back and forth replies I offer to start a thread to see if it’s viable. I would love to see it come to fruit but it’s up to the popularity hence market viability to get it. I still use the P60 in Solarforce host at work and around the house. It really needs a much bigger push than I can give it. I choice Convoy due to quality and their personal interest in us. Plus their 5 amp driver would pair well with future dropins. It could be a BLF build or an Astrolux. It’s going to take a real push to happen. Some of us love them, some like them and some say it’s a dinosaur.
I’m in for a clean/smooth design, while keeping the size small.
Good pocket clip.
Some fins for heat dissipation, good knurling on the body.
With the size of the reflector a SST20 would have some throw, without a bunch of heat.
And some FDE anodizing!
Yes :+1:
Not like your going to carry it in your pants pocket, a P60 reflector is around 26.5-27mm diameter plus the head/bezel makes it around 32-33mm with a 21700 battery tube and tail cap, it’s not going to be pocket EDC friendly so holster carry would be the choice.
kiriba-ru could make custom aluminum/copper triple/quad pills for it, a tapered pill that matches the host pocket will lock in when head bezel is tightened for heat transfer eliminate the need for copper foil wrapping.
I’m not fighting off 21700 don’t get me wrong
not, that I’d like that shop, but…
KDLITKER E6(21700) P60 Flashlight Host - Black
looks OK to me. Not Convoy, but finally a 21700 P60 host.
I Have KD E6 21700 but i alao have a lot of P60’s and i must say i love Convoy design more than KD.
So i’m in!
I’d be in for one. I have a couple of p60s. A 21700 host would be great
Thanks, I just ordered a few. I’ll give the feed back on the quality.
A new Convoy head design will eliminate the need to wrap the pill, right?
Convoy isn’t making a 21700 P60. Though if they had I’m sure it would be near perfect; 6amp driver, different led option, great machining, etc. Wrapping however is needed for all the slight variances.
Okay…I’m in shooter.
I’m in for a single and double 21700 “C” head body with a high current switch. I have plenty of P60 dropins.
I’m definitely interested. 99% has to be “C” head. Would be nice if the tailcap was McClicky compatible.
