I’ve been out of the flashlight game for a while now.
But I’ve got a 12 year old boy whos picking up on the interest, and I would like to build a compact’ish thrower with him.
My boy is especially fascinated with my thrower lights, and with flashlights producing even lighting (like from collimating lenses, TIR).
I have quite a few LED’s laying around, copper springs, drifferent drivers etc. that i might use in a build.
-But I have no idea what kind of host would be nice to build in?
Did anything, like, really cool hit the market the last few years?
Convoy M1 is fairly compact. Unfortunately no 18350 tube option (you could mod the stock tube yourself though). You can get the bare host but I’d recommend getting the full light and further modding if you desire. I got the Osram green emitter and it’s a ton of fun.
I have played with lots of C8’s. No C8+’s though. Might be an option.
I’m not a super big fan of the shape of the C8. Thin body and big head. haha. Great throwing body for it’s size.
