Im looking into haveing some copper heatsinks made for this host around 5-50 if anyone is enterested once done ?
+1
I would be interested in a few. Price would be determining factor in quantity. Keep us posted.
OH HELLS YEAH!
Host kit…and some of those triple or quad DTP boards…booyah!
Very very very nice and sub $20…I see many a special build with these in the near future…heck just the basics will make it one heck of a good daily driver!
and to the guy making the custom heatsinks…I’m in for at least 1, maybe 2!
Great news!! It would be nice to have the BLF logo in the host as well…
I’ve been waiting so long for my X6 that I’m no longer interested in the finished light, so when it arrives I’ll use it as a host instead. :~
That totally makes the deal for me! Thanks Krono and Neal for this addition! I ordered one ($14.49 with BLF coupon)
Hey! no silicon switch cap??? Now I have to use up one of my 50 spare ones ;-)
Seems like you would have a lot of interest in a copper or even AL heat sink
What about the screws and tapped holes, included?
OK ..Now i want a 18350 version of it ...and a triple nichia .
i could may be do a run of each ? copper and aluminum, If im doing triples or quad builds i like copper better
I confirmed that host DOES come with tapped holes and screws. 
thx krono.
While it’s not in the other pictures or the component list, the final picture shows a switch boot. Can you confirm that a switch boot is included? Thanks for posting this kronological!
I’m quite sure that it is…look at the pics on BG’s website, shows it in back of tailcap.
Ok, I got the host kit in and I am VERY unhappy. This is how it was packaged:
Everything tossed loose in a bag, the whole thing was rattling inside the package wen I picked it up from the postman. Just watch the reflector directly in contact with the clip and you know what I mean :Angry:
This was the content of the package. NO LENS IS INCLUDED AT ALL!!! And note just one little screw, why would that be?
Ah, one screw is because there's just one screwhole (???????????) And look at that reflector! The X6 has one of the best reflectors I have ever seen, unless of course if it is scratched like this :Angry:
Banggood, I know that this was not an expensive host, but you ruined it before shipping: get your packaging sorted!!!!!
Soooo, now on to getting the replacement done, contact BG, get them to understand my problem, try again, and again, reject their proposed solution because it is way insufficient, etc., etc., etc., :Tired:
Wow…that really sucks djozz! I’m really sorry to hear that. I guess I’m not buying I host. I hope you work it out with them. What a pain in the butt.
This just sucks, i hadn’t ordered yet but i plan to, i really hope that it will be sorted out by then because this bad packaging + no lens and why only one hole……it is just messed up 
Should had done another GB ? Maybe they would of shipped it in a box ;) sorry to hear this maybe they will change how they ship them
This is really bad news…….i guess if the hosts can’t be relied upon. it is the EE x6 that is the next best thing, but on that the shelf is a different hight than the blf x6 so thats an complication for the possible blf x6 triple spacer……….
