BLF cooperative design/appearance specifications for flashlights?

[hank]

For reference, quoting ReManG from 18350 Battery tubes for BLF A6, Eagle Eye A6 and X6, as well as codes for short Convoy S2+ tubes in Blue and Red!

I think we should put our collective heads together and come up with some standards here on BLF for these kind of group buy lights.

Thread type and pitch, standardize for ALL custom group buy lights.

Long, short and extra extended tubes for multiple battery set ups.

Standard size reflectors from tube size up to thrower sizes.

We can build the lego flashlights we want then.

Driver we have down now, switches we could specify and DTP copper MCB for the LED’s.

One of my ideas would be to have the body tubes be available in 340/350, 500 and 650/700 lengths. This way if you want to run it on a 14500, you buy a 500 length body tube and run it, or if you found some laptop pulls with 18500’s… You get the point.

If the threads on the reflector end are female (inside threaded) and the switch end male threads (on the outside) then we could just lego two 18650 tubes together for a MT-G2 build, or whatever…

This way group buys could concentrate on the heads of the lights, and we could spec them out like we want.
