Best looking P60 host?

[berry580]

Hi, I'm currently looking for my first P60 host. Most of the ones that I've seen so far ain't visually that attractive IMO.

Surefire's C2 Centurion looks alright to me. But any more suggestion guys?

thank you.lovecpf

SureFire C3

Jokes aside.....

C2 or C3 would be an excellent choice, and Z2 is also favored among a lot of CPF'ers.. (unless you need a pocket clip)

own a 6P and C3-HA , the C3 being used the most, due to the pocket clip and lanyard attachment.

If we are talking about nothing but the look, I'd say the Dereelight CL1H V4.
Unfortunately it comes with a serious flaw.
The tail cap is very poorly built so the batteries will rattle.

Personally, I'd prefer the ugly looking Solarforce L2 as a P60 host,
because it cost less and works flawless.

I also like the solarforce L2 and L2m.
It's cheap and 6P compatible.

Take care.

I think the L2 is very good looking, at least in the SS version, but it is a bit heavy:

Take a look , Mallkoff MD2/MD3 and the Elzetta.
Good build quality and USA Made,so great customerservice!
I'm a little tired from all the Chinese lights, everyweek there is a new one.

Who makes, or where do you buy the FM 1C body?

Look at FiveMega 's Threads in the Custom BST forum here.

Im all set with my C2. Its the best looking imo

i vote for the Z2/Z3 and of course the 6PDL


a C2 would be nice if it had the new style of clip to carry it bezel down.

 

[DimeRazorback]

C2 for sure! :twothumbs

Another vote for the C3...

SF C3....ahh... well i think making something longer isn't always necessarily better... lol
Can C3 take 18650, or what battery configuration can it take?

I actually think the Solarforce L2 looks OK.... but it feels ...... cheap, once i look at it for more than 5 seconds, it just reminds me of those cheapy $20 DX flashlights which gives me a nightmare.. lol

I'd rather spend more at once than pay a few times before its right.
I might consider the L2 SS later down the track just as a novelty item when i recharge my dough after my Ti rampage this month.

Also, forgot to mention that I'd also like to get a host that can hold 18650s, although its of lesser importance. Prime concern is looks.

Not really considering C sized cells, primarily due to weight. I'm not happy to go back to the Maglite era!

As of now, besides the C2, nothing is really ringing the bells yet.
With the level of competition in the flashlight world, I expected more choices around........... :sigh:

ahh well, I'm sure something will float up.

 

[DimeRazorback]

I suggest a Surefire C2 bored to 18mm for 18650 cells from ElectronGuru!

He is taking reservations now for them :thumbsup:

There are also bored 6P's

 

[Ajay]

6p with Novatac clip and ultrafire tail. Very functional bezel down clip.

 

[berry580]

err... i presume C2 will be long enough to take the 18650 after its bored to 18mm, right? lol *im dumb&*

oooOOO.... thank you DimeRazorback, I think I have my next target now.
OK, unless something EVEN BETTER comes along before im recharged financially. haha

Not the most practical P60 hosts (too narrow for 18mm cells, and most aftermarket P60 modules won't fit), but the build quality is unmatched. The 2-cell with a Surefire P91 and a pair of IMR16340 cells is a very nice combo.

(Both bodies have removable clips, but they're not visible in these pics.)

Edit: The host on top is the MX-121, and on bottom is the MX-131.

 

[angelofwar]

+1000 on the C2/C3...just get it, and then tell us how much you like it!

There's also the Lumens Factory Seraph.
Personally I'm not too exited about the look, but as your taste might differ:
