I received the first two today, looks good (tho didn’t get to take a close look). I immediately sent one off to my machinist (along with AxisZ module) for a Heatsink for a laser (my first high power laser build)!
Is it cool to order more all the way up to the 15th? Depending on how the HS turns out I may want a few more hosts while they’re cheap.
Correction: the small holes in the pill are threaded M2.5. There should definitely be no nuts involved with this! You’d go crazy trying to get the nuts inside the driver area, behind those holes is an exceptionally tricky place to get to. As I mentioned earlier, the larger holes are unthreaded.
To elaborate on what I mentioned in post #181, the shelf is quite a ways away from the reflector. I dropped a 1.5mm thick MCPCB in there with a dedomed XM-L and the back of the reflector wasn’t as low as the top of the emitter’s base. The included isolator closes the gap, so it’s intentional. This is not the deepest isolator around, even just looking at decent lights. So no harm, no foul.
I think I jumped the tun on the matte finish, I don’t see any problems with oil on it at the moment.

I thought he meant the screws for the pocket clip. [facepalm]. Mine didn’t come with mcpcb screws either but the reflector holds the star down well enough, it didn’t occur to me it was needed. Sorry. _
Simon redponded, he totty forgot the screws :~
Just a few thoughts on the light and clips. At first I thought the anodizing appeared to be cheap and almost like a matt paint but this was unfounded. When drilling and centre punching for the clip the anodizing was found to be very strong. I even broke a tap of when I started to tap a hole. The Bezel was very sharp which has been filed down to a semi Foy style.
With a 7135 driver putting out nearly 2 amps at the tailcap and an old style XML 3C tint led the hotspot is very tight with a good spill. The oring was on the wrong side of the glass lens. It had to be stretched slightly to stop it popping out when it was positioned between the bezel and lens.
The clip is decent enough. I did not use the original screws but used cap screws I had. Its very strong for the thickness of the material. The edges have a slight ripple which is hard to see from the cutting out of the profile. They had a slight tarnished look to them and cleaned up reasonably well with a lot of elbow grease and Mothers polish.
I bought ten of these for lights that do not have a clip as standard. It may not be used for its intended purpose but will make an excellent anti roll.
The two clips l have used do not touch the light at the low point. The quality inspector can be seen doing his work. He was satisfied with the work carried out. You can also see here the ripple on the edge.
The end profile where it screws on suits a 22mm diameter slightly better than the M2s 26mm but this could easily be fixed. All the pictures I looked at had me believing the end was a V shape. I'm happy to say its not. You can see where I had a half hearted attempt at filing the end of the clip on the M2. I stopped as it was not doing my file any good. The file was not a cheapy.
Overall I'm very impressed with the quality of the light as a host and the price paid for the clip was value for the money.
I finished off my M2 today. Went with a 3amp Qlite and a Nichia219b on a 20mm Noctigon. I found the soldering to be very fiddly with the new pill-less design. The wires where already on the driver, so I had to solder the star in situ. I was a little unsure which side of the lens the o-ring should be, have tried both and still not convinced. The o-ring sticks out in either config a bit. The clip fits well and doesn’t rub the body. Although again I found it fiddly to fit.
The matt finish is quite nice. But can look like its marked even if it isn’t. Overall happy.

Nice, mine arenstilp in transit 
Sorry zeremefico, I forgot to let you know that I give up on this one, it cost more than Convoy C8 with driver and emitter. Also lately I am not happy with where the new design of Convoy lights (C8) is going…
I got around the deep emitter shelf by soldering wires to the LED star first. Then thread the wires through the holes and solder to the driver.
I put the o-ring on top of the lens. As I screwed in the bezel, I pressed the o-ring into the side of the bezel with a small screwdriver going around in a circle.
No problem
Mine did arrive, had to fetch it from customs. They already know my name there…
Host is in flawless condition, but came without screws as well. Anodizing is perfect. I like the matte finish and find the ‘fingerprints’ negligible.
I’m pretty happy.
Female Flashlight Body Inspector?
He's measuring the gap with his feeler gauge. Its a guy. We speak regularly as he is always critiquing my work and goes of on his usual rant.
Received mine, no screws as well.
-Excellent fit and finish.
-Battery tube is 3.4mm thick!! ID is 18.75mm, my widest battery with double shrink wrap is 18.5mm, very tight fit.
-The led shelf does seem to be press fit, about 1.5mm thick
-Can take lens up to 29.20mm diameter.
-Max driver room diameter 17.75mm
I have a Qlite with 4 stacked chips, just waiting on the 20mm noctigon U3 1A. Also ordered a 28.6mm UCLp lens.
I received mine this afternoon. The build quality is VERY impressive. It might replace my SF L2T as my favorite light. Thanks for the group buy!
Mine arrived today.
The base of the reflector is going to need to be drilled out to fit a MT-G2. It looks like it shouldn’t be a lot of work, but the hole there is slightly too small. I think I can get away with only filing off the flat part at the base, without touching the curved reflector, but I won’t know until I try it.
I don’t think I’ll start on it today though. I used up most of my modding time for the week last night, so I’ll have to wait until the weekend. I’m looking forward to the awesome MT-G2 5000K tint though, and hopefully a really smooth floody beam. Not to mention 3000 lumens.
