Looking for mod friendly host (MT-G2, XHP50, XHP70)

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts

As the title says, looking for a mod friendly host, mainly flooder (MT-G2 preferred). I have LD-2 6V driver to push 6 Amps to emmiter and would like to use 18650 batteries (25R-s). Plan is to build copper guts so enough pill space required. I was looking at the shadow JM30 and JM35 (http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_183968.html) but as I see there is no pill space, not even for piggybacking the driver. Another candidate was BTU STR01 (http://www.edc-light.com/btu-str01-cree-xhp50-2200-lumens-2x26650-flashlight_p0880.html) but that seems like another JM30 or JM35. Help is appreciated, thanks.

I have this but from niwalker bought off James3… However the reflector is for a single emitter on mine but the one on the sight is a reflector for 3 emitters. I’m still looking for the right reflector so i can get another of the same host for modding

I just realized that this one was only $85 (http://www.banggood.com/AceBeam-K40M-Cree-MT-G2-Q0-3000lm-5000k-LED-Flashlight-318650-p-937181.html) few days ago. Now it's $129. That was a great price for stock flashlight and in my budget.

Yeap I bought it at that price the last time it went on sale

The LS01 from Bangood that I have will not fit protected batteries which is not ideal in a light with 2 batteries in series. It cannot easily be modded to fit protected batteries in either unfortunately.

Non of my batteries are protected and I use them in 2 series :evil:

Thanks for the info, but for a light with a FET driver I wouldn’t want to use protected batteries due to higher resistance.
