"Overbuilt" Flashlights (Not a brand name)

Wondering if there are any flashlights that are ‘overbuilt’. What I mean is that the whole flashlight is made up of lots of aluminium so thick that its heavy and has great heat sinking. An example would be the NWK 750N1 or the 550N3. Like really really beefy flashlights. IDC for either hosts or complete lights :slight_smile: I am looking a single emitter light but i’ll take 3 emitters max

EDIT: Scratch that! I’m looking for a host to put in triple XHP-70/50. Any good hosts? BTW I’m looking at this http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=2077

Oh, for a second I thought this was a new trend in light names. Overbuilt, Firebuilt, Trustbuilt, Thorbuilt, Uranusbuilt…

Hmm maybe I shall rename the thread haha

How about HDS?

HDS lights are supposedly very conservatively driven. Like only 200 lumens or so. But they use a LOT of aluminum. This makes them quite durable. In testing HDS, supposedly the developer threw the light down onto concrete from 30 feet up. Repeatedly. Did it non-stop for something like an hour. It got banged up but still worked fine.

Durability and reliability is the main selling point of HDS, but it isn’t cheap. Expect a typical HDS light to cost a few hundred dollars. And they’re not small. A 1xCR123 HDS is bigger than a 1x18650 Zebralight SC62.

Personally, I like UranusBuilt flashlights.

I'd that that they're almost the best out there.

Yeah, they're a solid number two. :evil:

You know, thats a really expensive flashlight and it doesn’t actually has cooling fins. Armytek is beefy too but I don’t really dig the design. I need something with lots of cooling fins but not of the trustfire types.

Uranusbuilt? You gotta link for that??

No, but I really wish I did. :)

Trustfire TR-J20?

Heaps of cooling fins and heavy

Oh no no I’m looking for a single emitter or max 3 emitters… sorry if I left it out in the OP

Nothing like a solid number two to get your day started!

Hahah it starts my day every time everyday and always at 8am

Solid, but not too solid :bigsmile: .

haha all good. No need to be sorry :slight_smile:

Any of his lights are simple and nearly indestructible.

Man, thats another expensive brand name!

The stainless convoy is built like a tank, not very good at cooling, but very sturdy

Yeah I’ve seen those but I want something LARGE! hahaha IDK why but I juz like those big lights built like a tank :party:
