Shipping will be only a few bucks , ships from US. International however will be $10 or so.
Thanks everyone for participating i will do a final count shortly to see how many have been spoken for, I am overwhelmed with the amount of trust people have put into this simple idea of mine , sight unseen , hats off to the gentlemen for your support I have no doubts that these are the driving force of the hobby. I will make sure to justify and make one awesome custom host that is the very definition of the budget light forums concept.
Interested in one, if the design includes MRsDNF's idea of threading the pill into the reflector as well as into the body. And if the host can be obtained together with extra pills (for me brass would do the job fine btw, easier to mill :-) ), it will be a great system: using custom pill drop-ins for high performance mods, and the standard ones fit too :-)
I'm not sure threading is needed. obviously improving thermal transfer can be done in a few different ways. Whatever you come up with I'm sure will probably take into account to some degree. I'd be interested in extra pills btw... You may want to consider selling extra pills, even if they will not fit standard P60 bodies.
After reading the thread my only further suggestion is to make the host w/ plenty of aluminum and finning for heat sinking “hot” drop-ins. Perhaps a host weight of 150 - 175 grams.
Eehhm, well, I will not ask for copper (hard to machine), but say you would make this to be designed ultimate p60 host also in brass (heavy), would it still be a budget light?
Count me in please. I would like you to consider making the host offering with a shorty or 18350 version and a screw on pocket clip. That would be cool. Anodized or nickel plated as an upgrade option maybe.
Just bumping this up. I myself, and probably a few others here, was wondering where this project is at. Sorry in advance if I come up as impatient, it’s just that, with such a setup, I do have some ideas of what I want to make with it. :~
The first prototype host will be posted shortly. I machined the whole thing a week ago just too busy with life happenings lately.Yet to assemble and sort the kinks out for the final release.
Been impressing folks on a 1600 mile drive with the Sinner Ti and Cypreus lights. Neat watching peoples eyes when I pull out the flamed Ti light. :bigsmile:
If possible could the tail cap thread be 7/8-20 or just left at .875” I could thread it myself. As a personal option? Oh by the way the Cypress Cu is just amazing!!! Thanks!!
