I just built up my first light, a Convoy S2. It's great, light is fine and functional. Fun project and I'd like to do another light. I would like a higher quality host with better heat distribution that would hold 3 LED build, a McClicky would be a nice bonus if possible. 18350 would be ideal, but 18650 is fine as an alternative.

What are my options? Doesn't seem like there are many good quality hosts that I can find.

Yes, there are people who sell P60 drop in hosts that you can put a triple into. It would be a mule configuration.

I've purchased a few items from this fellow, easy to work with.

For the flashlight host itself, look up LightKnot on these pages. He's selling some USA made 18650 bodies in the P60 format. I bought one of the tailcaps with the McClicky already inside.

David and I have been chatting a bit via PM. He's now leaning towards an AA/ 14500 based torch.

You can look at the Tain Flute, that's a nice torch. Just be sitting down when you look at the price :)

I can't even find the information on Tain, but I can imagine the price would be quite high based on what these lights sell for second hand.

Seems there isn't much to be had that is quality and in the $75-100 range.

Yes, I found those as well. Can these be had as hosts though? Seems all I could find were already built.
