Sounds like they sold but can I get some info on the 5 little black stacked hosts? Where are they from?

Yeah looks pretty cool. I like the proportions and I have big hands so the size is fine.

Was actually thinking about buying the full torch from CNQG… Don’t have experience building up hosts. Did you keep & build any, and if so what components did you use?

I don’t have big hands, and the host feels like a really good size to me. (It’s only 1/4” / 6mm bigger in diameter than a D cell mag.)
And since finding things is sometimes a needle in a haystack problem, here are two of Chicago X’s awesome builds with this host:
Hi all,
PilotPTK has designed and fabricated a self-contained triple XM-L unit, incorporating the driver components and LEDs on a single board. They are offered as a cool-white U2-binned unit, or as a neutral-white T6-binned option. This mod will use the NW T6 version, with 3 amps powering each LED.
Here's a reminder pic for those who may not be familiar with this fully-programmable wee powerhouse:

This module uses the compact and efficient CUTE-3 optic:

In orde…
I really like this torch. There's nothing wrong with it in stock form, but what couldn't be made better by upping the power four- to fivefold ?
The plan is to yank out the guts, replace with billet aluminum, then cram in a TRIPLE XM-L U2 setup with a 4-5A Turbo DRY driver. Can you say 3000 lumen out-the front ? Hehe...
Here's a seller pic as a reminder:

Thanks that’s some wicked building skills there. Out of my league for sure.
