Idea for Christmas gifts

I’m looking to build a dozen torches to hand out as gifts next month and after about 6 weeks lurking on this forum I think it is time to make this happen. As a side note prior to 6 weeks ago I really had no idea how flashlights changed modes. I guess I just assumed some form of magic was involved. Thanks to BLF I have learned quite a bit. So now it is time to get my hands dirty and put theory to practice. And, if I all fails, I can just hand out gift cards. :slight_smile:

On to the build. I chose the SS C3 as a host for use of AA’s and durability. A 16mm XP-G2 CW emitter because I think it will pair nicely with AA’s. But where I’m getting hung up is the driver. There really aren’t that many good options for low voltage and EDC in mind. As of now I’m debating between Option 1 and Option 2. I am not sure which would fit the pill better. I hope the pill is smaller than the claimed 17mm because I much prefer option 1. Which one should I gamble on? I plan on ordering these parts soon and will update this post with pictures updates as I go along. Thanks!

Have you see this lights?

Perfect for gift!
