Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts

What a useful resource for DIYers! Thank you!

This is an awesome list of a lot of hosts currently available, so thx :beer:
Some hosts are to find at several vendors, sometimes even cheaper. But they can be googled easily, so this list is a wonderful start to get the overview.
I didn’t know the xintd x3 was available as host. Nice find.

Solarforce L2 range, Solarforce Flashlight-sales HK , The L2M is a CR123 host as well.

Brilliant, thanks for compiling this :beer:

I notice you have the X-power 18650 host listed as “generic copy of S6”, don’t let that confuse you, I actually prefer the x-power to the convoy. Machining is perfect (not that there are issues with the convoy), ano is perfect, threads are perfect, at almost 1/2 off the convoy it [the x-power] is the better light.

I’ve only owned one, and one S6 so maybe my samples were exceptional (good for the x-power and nothing-special for the convoy) so take that into consideration but IMO the x-power is the better host.

Thank you cereal_killer, I have made a note next to the X-power now.

These lists just prove BLF will give you OCD

18

Nice list!

OEM D4 is the generic Convoy M1.

The OEM Zooming mentioned in OP is not similar to Convoy M1.

Thanks RaceR86. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which is which and I forget which ones I’ve already seen and listed.
Thank you for pointing that out! I’ve changed it on the OP.

20

Could you add which ones are P60 compatible? (Solarforce L2 and L2M are the oens I know)

21

http://www.fasttech.com/product/1409307 is a good cheap option.

22

Hi ozlight, I’ve updated a few of the Ultrafire lights to show whether they are P60 compatible. Hope it helps!

23

Thanks for this list. Very useful

24

Thanks for the great list.

The Sky Ray S-R5 is sold out @Focalprice, doesn't say if it's only temporary.

25

Thank you for nice list here!

Has anyone found something like this Courui host anywhere?
http://www.lightmalls.com/highly-bright-1-cree-xm-l-3-modes-1770-lumens-led-flashlight-1-18650-battery

I have been looking something like this and also something big host that has space for like 6- or more XM-L2 leds. But no luck so far. :frowning:

26

Has anyone ordered the N-light b2 stainless AA host? It’s still the but no pictures.

27

Anyone?

28

Any updates on a AAA host ?
the A1 is showing as not available on the link

Looking to build a single programable mode or LMH no memory lamp to clip to an aircraft pilot headset

29

Actually I’m looking at possibilities as well.

What I found so far:

  • Vinh likes Prometheus Beta, says the quality is top notch. Though it’s too large for me
  • Astrolux A01 is known OK host that can be had for reasonable money. Though this time it’s too large for me :wink:
  • Lumintop EDC01 is the smallest AAA light that I’ve found that has reasonable thermals and separate LED and switch PCBs. It’s still larger than I’d like though.

I intend to take a gamble and buy Trustfire MINI3 and see if it’s wortwhile.

Thanks for the names, I’ll look them up.

I want one that I can clip with a belt clip to a David Clarke DC10.3 aviation headset. I currently have an 18650 el cheapo AliExpress zoomy with electronics from Mountain Electronics. So I am happy with any size AAA lamp as it is sure to be smaller than the 18650

Does need to be able to be opened up though to take some single programmable mode driver or a LMH no memory always start on Low type driver… no flashing modes.

Any idea of PCB sizes on the list you gave ?
