Flashlight Host and Uncommon Budget Flashlights

Man, these pun names get old after a while. Seeknite, Alonefire, Supfire, FireFoxes, etc… :person_facepalming: Lol

Flashlight Man: Amazon.com

Hjeh, that light looks like the USS Star Track! :laughing:

Ti-cu.

@ Freeme:

That’s a very nice-looking light. Would you have a link? Or at the least, cost (if available in Canada).

Got a link?

Facebook of Phuoc Trinh(not 100% sure)?

Looks like there are other colors

No worth getting. Listed price from $122. Only 2000lm XP-L HI and XQE1616 specified.

Well, I would have liked a purchase link. It does strike a chord and as I’ve just splurged over $110 on gaskets and an S2 host/driver; the cost could be manageable. Money better spent than on mundane items – something that would please me.

Edit:
Found it on Shopee.

Price is OK at ~150 CAD, but the aux leds blinking, or worst, alternate with main (mode group 3/4) is a dealbreaker.
Thought it was ring-controlled; my bad – rear clicky.
Also “sold-out”.

Was there a thread started for 2022?

Anyway, before the year ends.

Found this “diving flashlight” from yupard. People have said good things about their stainless steel hosts on here before, so i was just looking up the brand.

Rotary switch with a 55mm wide head. Not very deep, but I thought it was a uniquely broad reflector in that sort of body shape. Looks beefy too.

Found it even cheaper on shopee

Found this a while back. Driver is 17mm and held by a pressed in ring. Easily removed and then you can swap in whatever you like. MCPCB is 16mm. Reverse clicky switch.

Any suggestions for interesting hosts that fit 22mm driver? I’m eyeing a manta ray c8.2 with double tube atm, but am looking for any other beefy looking hosts…

UF F13.

Not bad, 14.40 is pretty reasonable

Any side-by-side hosts for cheap? 18650 or AA/14500. I’m interested in the form factor.

The picture appears to be a 105c driver, so it could be flashed with biscotti or something. I might get one to mess around with.

Plus, it’s “smalll and mighty”, so I’m sold!

No, I’m not, but I like that it has a tail cone!

I got one to fool around with. That pressed in ring doesn’t seem to be easy to remove to me. How’d you get it out?

Edit: Nevermind, just had to find something small enough to get under it to pry it out.
