How much Would you pay for a HA Type III P60 Host?

How much do you think you would pay for a HA P60 Host? Just out of curiosity

 

[Forgoten214]

I know I'd buy several L2s if it was HA3. Make sure HA3 is available in Black and Gun metal.

If Solarforce is listing to this, PLEASE MAKE SOME!

Well you could look at the C2, C3 and M2 as indicators.

First it would need to be 18650 capable to get my attention.

It would depend on who makes it (host only)...
Surefire/Inova = $85
Solarforce = $40
Ultrafire/Romisen = $25
Pelican = $55

Dereelight makes a HA P60 host, the CL1H.

 

[GreyShark]

I agree, whatever it was should be compatible with the 18mm cells and it shouldn't have any thin sections in the tail to worry about. That means a new tailcap designed from the ground up instead of a SureFire compatible tailcap. A new offering would have to be really new to get me interested.

I think Pelican does too... but its not 18650 sized.

Yeah I been looking for a host for sale but I keep missing them on CPFM. Hear good things about it.

The Malkoff MD2 with HAIII is $49, so that seems about right to me. After subtracting the price of the dereelight dropin, the Cl1H body/host probably comes ends up in the $40 range as well.

 

[dilbert]

I just got a Malkoff MD2 in Type III HA... so I guess I'd be willing to pay $49... actually $71 since I got it in 2-stage.

Well how much did I pay for that C3 again? :thumbsup:

Worth every penny, to me anyhoo. Your poll needs a $150+ choice.

 

[csshih]

40-50$ host sounds good to me! :twothumbs

 

[Zatoichi]

It's one of the things I wouldn't pay extra for. My 6P hasn't had much use and already shows a lot of wear, but it doesn't bother me enough to pay extra for HA III. I think it would start to matter if I bought expensive, cool looking custom lights, but in general I don't mind them looking worn.

 

[JBorneu]

Not much more than I paid for my HAII Solarforce L2. Yes, HAIII looks nicer, but it's only an aesthetical improvement. I use my lights.

Did someone say P60 hosts..... P60 Flashlight List {host} shameless plug.

Most my lights are P60s...they all have either a good II or true Type III HA.
Both my CL1H V1 & 2 have Type III
(the V1 has the most amazing HA coating)

Type III is like having an expensive paint job, but you car isn't going to handle any better.

What makes one P60 host, with same coating, better than another,..the switch?

Partially... that and the manufacturer warranty + service, retailer return policy. I'm willing to pay more for lights from reputable retailers and manufacturers who stand behind their products. Although with P60 hosts its almost a moot point since generally parts can easily be replaced.

Does it void the Surefire warranty if I use a aftermarket drop-in with my Surefire 6P? If it breaks and I need to RMA it. I need to send the light in with a Surefire drop-in? Not if the drop-in breaks but lets say the tailcap or something like that breaks and I need to send it in.

I have no first hand experience.... but according to others on the forum, it does not matter. typically they will just send you the replacement part.... but each customer service inquiry is a case by case basis.

Yeah I already had to get some replacement parts from them. Tailcap issues. But then they keep records and every time I call they are going to be less reluctant to give me the parts I need. Like I had to call for a 3rd time in two weeks for apart and they didn't seem to happy about it. So much for there no questions asked service.

What I wouldn't give to have a Z2 with a C2-HA's finish. That with a M60W would just about end my flashaholic quest for the perfect light.
