This is what I am talking about… his brain is churning already. I can cough up around $20 when your ready 
I’d put up $20 as well.
Thanks Marc, I have a great feeling about this, I’ve always wanted to make a P60 compatible light.
I am in too.
id be down for one host.
Put me down for at least one, possibly two. I might be able to build a 5A module simply just because, and a more practical 2.5 or 2.8A module for every day stuff.
I’m in…for under $20 for sure…budget 
Gonna be a whole flashlight or just the dropin?
i think i’ll have to make a spreadsheet, this is pacing up faster than I thought.
Ooh, what about lens, clicky, boot? If not, I have to add those to my shopping list…
Lens, clicky+boot+spacer included, also the clicky can be replaced with Mattaus’s e-switch or mcClicky by just unscrewing/screwing the retaining ring.
Also I have to work out further options yet, Instead of everyone buying small parts I will add them to the hosts myself at probably no additional costs.
Lets see.
Any thoughts on a screw in pill? The thread on a P60 is 20mm x 1mm pitch. If this was made around 12mm long the reflector would screw on one end and a 17mm driver pocket could be machined in the other and the assembly screwed into the head/body. This would allow for a better heat transfer to the body.
It will, but it might also make it complex for some. The goal is to keep it simple and budget. But a simple threading wouldnt hurt i guess, I might just make one like you said and see how it turns out , it is a great idea.
So it’s currently a host plus copper pill and reflector only at this stage at a goal price point of $20. If we want things like lens, clicky+boot+spacer, then that would be at an additional cost, possibly at cost to you.
It’s still a good price IMHO.
All said and done if you could do a host kit around 35-40 shipped I would be happy.
I’ve seen your other work and it looked exceptional.
If it works out to be something I can just install a regular P60 drop-in and somewhere around 20 then great!!
If not maybe there could be a “economy” model for folks like me who don’t (can’t) get too fancy.
Please count me in.
Thats the plan.
It will be a complete host kit, @mhemling33
Only emitter+driver is needed.
I just hope everything goes as planned.
I am in for one at around $20 also…
Counted everybody in.
Est. Price $20 (+/-$5.00)
