How about a P60 with a side switch for a change 
See . . . this is what I'm talkin' about. So, I'm just supposed to not buy this host, right? Seriously - is death the only "cure?"

Yeah, I bet this can resist wear and tear better than aluminum.
Probably will not be scratched or dented with small drops. Might even be my next worklight when sun shines through my L2m...
I will guesstimate the price will be either 19.99$ or 23.99$ :)
If I may put in two ;)
Hmmm... solarforce-sales also has out an XM-L that's rated to 8.4V - tempting
How about battery tube & extender versions in 16340 & 18650 sizes
I will love the yellow tubes on my MP Pro2 & Pro1
I know the plastic does not dissipate the heat as well, but my tan G2N is the best looking light I own. In fact, I have a thing for EDC gear in earth tones. Although I love the function and value of my tan L2, I was a little disappointed that was a color more like sand (which, in fairness is what they call it) and not closer to FDE. So this news, well, this is truly something!
I hope the tan/khaki one matches my Enlan I ordered yesterday. That will make a nice combo...
It would be nice if Solarforce could broaden their lineup and come up with a viable AA option, but I'm still liking this new model for my 18650 P60 needs. Although I would prefer it to handle 3xAAA as well, like the L2i. That's so frustrating, because it's such a versatile setup and the tube thickness even feels better in the hand, imo.
Am I the only one that doesn't want a plastic light?
See posts 4 and 22 above. Pretty good reasons to get a plastic light IMO.
"The body of P1 consists of precisely CNC-ed aluminum alloy in HAIII finish, which is covered by a layer of GFRP (an extremely strong, lightweight, chemical-resistant and durable substance)"
I'm all for trying out this combination of metal and plastic, assuming it's a viable marriage in terms of durability.
Definitely want one, or maybe many.
Nope... you're not alone! 
You are probably even in the majority... but people are polite here and don't want to spoil the excitement for the others. ;-) Also I assume a substantial markup for that kind of production process. My guess would be $25+ for the host.

I have a G2 Nitrolon I love the tough of. I just don’t like the non-clicky switch SureFire has and that it doesn’t have a lanyard hole. I wish Solarforce brought double sided clips again.
I guess I don't get it. It's still constructed of aluminum.
I don't care, I like the concept. In fact, I've been hoping for something like this in the budget category. I suppose we could just go with more knurling instead 
Instead of more cowbell, it's MORE KNURLING! (I hope people get that reference, haha)
Ah Cristopher Walken fan.... eh? ;-) The inner part is out of alu and the outer part out of glorified plastic. So at first heat distribution is done by the alu, but at some point the heat contained has to go somewhere, normally that would be air and through movement and convection the heat transport is better than the medium air alone. The "plastic" walls in the heat and you have an additional material layer to cross with worse heat transportation coefficient. The ventilation grooves in the main body are supposed to help, but they are still inferior to a completely bare knurled aluminum surface on other lights.
These may be good hosts for low powered XML drop-ins. I can't imagine running a UF 3amp drop-in one. 
I can, at least at work use. I need the power of it but only for 5-15sec at a time so no prob 8)
going to try it though. maybe it will be me. maybe it will melt like a candle.
