Hello all, I am Will and new here. As everyone says, long time lurker, etc.
Anyways, I am looking at doing a few builds for Christmas this year and wanted your opinion on best price/build etc. and a few options on prices. I am looking to build 2-3 flashlights around 20-30 bucks, and 2-3 around 30-50 bucks. Not including chargers if you were wondering.
For the higher priced ones, I was thinking a convoy C8 with an XP-L Hi PCB and a Fet Direct Driver. Maybe add in the AR glass.
The cheaper ones, I have no clue. Maybe an S2 build with a qlite and maybe solder on some extra drivers myself? I am a bit new to how the drivers all work, but I know I can increase output. Any idea on led? Run same XPL-Hi, or go with just the XP-L
If you have any suggestions, I am open. I am a bit new to building flashlights, but love to learn. I built quads (drones) etc. So just being around long enough I will learn all of the maths and lingos of this new hobby.
