This Solarforce host is the cheapest I know, while still maintaining a high level of quality and reliability.
thats pretty slick!
how long does it take to get one in if i order it? does it ship fromoverseas?
anyone got any other hosts that might be a little more but look a little nicer?
i was thinking about a CL1H style light, but i dont want to spend the cash on the light when i already got a decent drop in sittin here.

They are here in the states. If you are anywhere in the US, a week at the most.

Anyone notice the sticker says "SST50, 650 (?) lumens"

WHOA!! OP, thats not an SST-50, its an XR-E module you got there.
I think you should first double check if your pill is even optimal for a single cell. I hope you didn't buy it, intending for it to be an SST-50.

Might be false alarm, the comment under the pics says he knows it's a R2, whew.

sorry guys!
this is a D26 module i got from nailbender,
it had a SST in it which promptly came out and went into my DBS (its KILLER!!)
now what i have left, which is in the picture, is the stock R2 that came out of the DBS+ the D26 drop in that came with the SST50 pill
the way i see it, why let it go to wasteany other suggestions for a cheap host?
EDIT: oh ya whats the diff between the L2 and the L2P?

Have you seen this list?
P60 Flashlight List {host}
I agree with Kramer about the Solarforce L2 being a good host and Jake25 is a good dealer.
A couple of years ago, I bought several Ultrafire 502B flashlights - you did say "cheap." They were OK for $10. I think I have read that they look similar to a CL1H. I have also read complaints about the switches, though I never had any problems with the four I bought. I replaced the switch in two of them with McClicky switches, because I like forward clickies.

L2 is type-II while L2P is HA-III. :thumbsup:
If you want something under $20, I would go with a Romisen M4. You may want to reconsider your investment since you can buy a great HA-III host for about $50 that will last for many years. Remember that a quality host is upgradeable with new D26/P60 modules, and it will save a ton of money over the long haul.

I was going to start a tread weeks ago, asking if anyone put a nailbender SST-50 into a DBS,
did you use the SMO reflector?,..whats the beam like?..:twothumbs
For hosts, the L2 is popular & inexpensive,..but there are also many others.}
