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?

The way I understand is this will be a custom made BLF Host. We will then fit what parts we want ourselves. Which to me is ideal. The first thing I did with the X6 was strip the guts out and replace them.

Yeah, the description so far reads that way - except - the title says this:

CRAZY IDEA : 1st BLF original Light? (Group buy? No! Host? No!)

Riddle me this: When is a host not a host?

Sorry for my way of writing. Edited.

What I'm thinking is to have a Ti shell only.

[ReyLight]

The most impressive one to me is this.

I’d probably be in if it was 18650.

BTW, if, as the OP suggests this will be a BLF-designed light, is there someone on BLF with design-drawing skills/software who could incorporate ideas from members into an actual design, with dimensions and all? And talk about skills: he/she will have to withstand with mild humour and tranquility all the mayhem that comes with multiple-BLFmember input ;-) . (Krono is my hero!)

Truly said, expert on "Pro/engineer" or "CAD" is required here.

how about the cut outs for trits?

I really think they should implement that.. even if its not obvious for trits.

but imho it`s better to have some slots for them, in case people want to add them, machining slots later is not what most people want/can do.

All the previous BLF lights were small lights. Enough with the popcorn farts, bring on the big guns. J)

Big Ti could kill your wallet.

[bibihang]

Minimum quantity?

[BIGBLOCKMOPAR]

I would definitely be interested in a reasonably priced Ti host, 16340 or 18650 preferably and I agree with ChibiM, predrilled slots for trits would be awseome.

[LSX]

I’d like something similar in size to a C8 but in titanium. With a pill that can accept a 20mm star and 17mm driver with a deep driver pocket ~10-15mm and a thick shelf under the star.

@bibihang

Minimum quantity?

For AAA host,price might be 25$,shipped. MOQ:200pcs.

not sure about the bigger 18650.

Me, thinking out loud: “interesting idea that will never work”…

[akoposilester]

18650 hook me up.

[netprince]

This is a great idea, I expect it will be difficult to build something everyone will agree on… but you can still build something great…

I’m interested… subscribed

The biggest obstacle for most groupbuys/custom builds is to get everyone coming to an agreement.

[ChibiM]

yep... agreement...where are the trits?

[DavidEF]

I would be interested, pending final specs, in a generously sized AAA shell/host. I’m still a newbie, so a tight (length-wise) fit might be hard for me to manage building. A solid copper pill included, please, preferably taking up space between host and head like the pill on the sinner host that djozz has pictured in post #13. I’d like to have some interesting knurling too, like the Titaner that Rey has pictured in post #25.

I’d also be interested if it was a 16340 or 18350 host. A small-looking light with a (potentially) big punch! I don’t know if there is enough oomph in a 14250, but a light made for that size might be interesting as well.

You get what you pay for. If you want something nice, you have to get up off that wallet. I’d love to have a Devil Stick host.

[ChibiM]

I don`t think there will be many people interested in a C8 in titanium..

probably not even a handful!

C8 lights don`t have the appeal (for titanium).
