But you will have to offer a base model, there will be a gazillion requests for modes and this thingy and that thingy…unfortunately it will come down to a compromise of good modes, good power, good copper stars, and not break the bank…going to be very difficult…just ask the BLF X6 guys how much a pain in the butt it was.
Good luck with it…I sure hope it can be done and as long as it isn’t an arm and a leg…I will buy one or two for sure
The BLF X6 at $20~ was fricken sweet! (even though it fell short a bit on the promised power it is one HECK of an awesome light!)
If the price was reasonable I’d be in for one or two. I’ve never built a light before and I’m not sure if I even could. However, if the light had the proper o-rings and such I could fill it with gin and vermouth and happily sip from it while reading about other peoples builds.
We need something that has one or more MT-G2’s or XHP70’s, can hold a lot of 18650’s and can be called the BLF BFL 2015 Edition or something. Maybe not as extreme as your devil stick, but not far from it. Also it should have that cool BLF logo.
I'd love a titanium BLF designed host !!! Nice initiative, Rey.
My proposal:
-tube style 18650 light as thin and lean as possible (titanium is so strong that it allows for a very thin build), I think Olight Baton/Eagletac/DQG-brass sizes, really not bigger because then it would not add anything to what is out there already. Can they make a copper (or brass is even better IMO, easier, cheaper, and I lack the copper fetish ) pill that is part of the shell, like this Sinner design?:
I really like Sinner's hosts (I own one), but I think what should be different is that his overall size is a bit too bulky, his material is thick, I like the lean-ness of Eagletac lights much more.
-standard internal sizes for versatility that allow: 14mm boot cap, 17mm PCB with small Omten clicky, 17mm driver board, 16mm led board, standard Convoy S-reflectors, 20mm lens.
So, let’s see if I understand. You’re going to get a custom shell made (all of them will be the same) and then take orders for the innards. You will then produce individual custom lights (or have it done) that all look alike on the outside but are potentially very different on the inside. Is that correct?
