Very interested in a 5A complete light either xpg2 or xml2 or xpl2. Emitter does not matter.
I want to want one, but I don’t want one. I like the idea of a shorty with a big aspheric lens, but I just don’t like the look of this one enough. If someone would machine off that huge cog/ring it would be much better, IMHO. I’ll stay subscribed, though, in case I change my mind. 
Edit: I really like the tail-cap, but the rest of the body would look better smooth.
You may be in luck if you’re OK with the look of raw aluminum. I plan to significantly reduce or remove the nubs on some of the ones I end up with. I think reduced may be better than removed depending on how stiff the twist to zoom is.
May I suggest one thing?
I hope they can modify the pill and make it to accept 20mm driver and at the same time making the driver compartment deeper a little to accept tall driver. This way people can still use these popular 17mm drivers by simply adding the 17mm to 20mm brass ring, or they can use some other 20mm drivers. As a result there will be more driver options for us modders.
Thanks a lot for organizing this. 
In for complete build
I’m in for a host, but if it can come complete with wight’s 17DD+7135 driver, I’ll take one of those instead.
These should work too.
KD 20mm (External) x 17.1mm (Inner) Copper Ring Adapter for 17mm Circuit Board - 5 PCS
Would an extension tube be a possibility as an option?
Appreciate you taking this on.
Complete light, 5A xpl if not xpg
Complete light please! xm-l2. Thanks for organizing.
I know that buck drivers are bulky, but I wonder what driver for single Li-ion use comes in 20mm and not in 17mm?
The claim to fame for this light is exactly that it accepts a single li-ion, add tube length for 2xli-ion and you end up with the UF-1405 that is so difficult to find a suitable driver for 
.
Please put me down for one host and one complete (XP-G2)
Hi djozz, good question. Sorry I didn’t mention about my reasons in my earlier comment but here we go:
- There are some BLF drivers available in 20mm, though most of them are also available in 17mm.
- Yes, this gives the option of using a (high current capable) buck driver and two 18350s, and we can run MT-G2 or XHP LED in there. The new LD-2D is quite a good candidate IMO. I understand that zener modded 17mm Nanjg driver does work in this case, but as I said this will open up more options to all of us.
- Some people (like myself) already have the predecessor of this light, which is the 1405. The 1405 is infamous with its pill that can only accept 17mm driver, as a result a lot of good buck driver options have been sacrificed. If this 1504 is offered with pill that can accept 20mm driver then we can interchange the pill with the 1405 one, for instance let the 1405 use 20mm driver and let the 1504 use 17mm driver, best of both worlds.
- And again this minor modification of the pill still doesn’t affect the use of 17mm drivers, as one can easily press-fit the 20mm brass ring as a driver adapter.
I think that’s all for my concerns, and I hope I am not creating too much troubles here. 
EDIT: I assume that the pill and head design of the 1405 and 1504 are identical, so that we can interchange their pills later.
I’m in for a complete light if the price is right.
Thanks for doing this!
I am in for at least:
(1) Complete (xpg2)
(1) Host
In response to the brass pills, I don’t know where they will come from. The last I talked to Ali, she said they only have aluminum alloy pills and couldn’t offer brass pills. Then she tried to point me toward a T20 pill which is a completely different animal. There is a definite communication breakdown that I hope somebody can solve. An upgraded pill may have to be made by somebody else. If somebody could make one out of actual copper to our specs it’d be nice, but I wouldn’t count on that coming out of China. She also sent me some host prices, but they were for the 1405 and not the 1504. There is less metal in the 1504 so I would expect it to be a little cheaper. If the prices are close, it will be a good deal
They also have some crazy cheap prices on INR26650E, but I’m assuming they are fake as they are also listing 3600mah 18650’s in uniquefire flames wrappers.
I would be okay with raw Aluminum. It can be polished to look very nice next to the black anodizing on the rest of the body. But, I don’t have a lathe and I wouldn’t want to do it by hand, although it’s been done, and I’m sure I could accomplish it. The light just isn’t interesting enough to me to warrant the amount of work required to cut/grind/polish that huge cog/ring down by hand. What might look even better than grinding it all the way down, is to grind it down just past the nobs, then cut two or three grooves around it to make the look of heat dispersing rings. Polish those to a shine, and that would look really nice! I’d certainly buy a couple if that were done. :bigsmile:
“add tube length for 2xli-ion and you end up with the UF-1405 that is so difficult to find a suitable driver for”
Thanks, sorry.
In for two complete lights, preferably in XM-L2, but if it goes the other way I’d still be in. Thanks.
I’ll buy 1 host.
