Re: Introducing XM-L 18650 Series
I'm in for a Titanium one with deep reflector. Is it possible to not have the grip ring?

Are the two different lengths of head and reflector backwards compatible with the EDC body's?
Looks great! and clip plans?

If you have plans for a clip was the question on my mind too..

The head is not compatible with my EDC series lights. With the anti-roll tail a clip option will not be available.

Mac,
Let's do it! I know the battery tube will be longer (thus more Ti), and some addl labor to fit the Tri engine,
So just let me know how much more?
Thanks for being receptive for doing one-offs!
BTW, I absolutely love my Ti XM-L EDC and Ti Tri-EDC!
They are works of art!!!

Very nice Mac. Reminds me of a certain host that I bought from you a little while back
Maybe I need one of these beauties to add to my Mac collection.

Any chance of making those hosts P60-compatible?

I know P60 compatibility is nice but it does look like Mac's light engine is going to be much better at heatsinking than a normal P60 drop-in
There is practically ZERO heatsinking with the P60 Drop-Ins. If there was enough interest I could make a run of P60 compatible hosts. Post 13 picture is a P60 Host.

Yes, the host pictured in post #31 of mine, is an 18500 P60 host.
Absolutely beautiful with really thick, chunky walls. :thumbsup:
Nailbender's XM-L drop-in does great in this and I can leave it on high for at least 10 minute periods. There is some heat-sinking via the thick external springs to the shelf in the head and via the reflector to the head and body.
I can feel the head heating up quite quickly and then starting to spread down towards the body.
Further heat-sinking can easily be attained by wrapping copper-tape (provided by Nailbender) around the reflector until there is a tight fit, although I haven't bothered in this instance.
Of course, the heat-sinking is definitely superior in the lights pictured in this thread, but I find mine to be more than adequate for my purposes and it does improve the versatility of the light by always being able to upgrade it so easily.

I would definatley have an intererest in a p60 host in aluminum or even stainless...not the best heatsinking in stainless, but it would look cool as heck. I think a run of p60 hosts would be a great idea mac.
