Please help me find what I'm looking for.
I'm been looking a set of flashlights that all use interchangeable parts. Ideally, I'd be able to:
(1) Switch tubes for any number of any kind of batteries. 1, 2, 3, or 4 123A batteries. 1 or 2 18650 batteries. 14500 batteries. AAs, Cs, Ds, etc. Most of these should be mountable in 1 inch rings, for easy weapons mounting.
Ultrafire has 6p, 9p, 12p, WF-501B/C/D, WF-502A/B/C/D lights. At the very least, they support (b) x2 123A & x1 18650 (c) x3 123A (d) x2 123A & x2 18650 batteries.
(2) Swap out heads - I want a slim head, a large head to focus the light as a thrower, an expensive head that's focusable, and maybe a multi-emitter head. I also need filters for IR and UV for the heads. I would like every head available with a short rim (for compactness) a long rim (to avoid giving myself away from the side) and a striker head for hand-to-hand.
(3) In most heads, I'd like to see swappable emitters. P60 emitters are great, with xenon, 225 lumen LEDs, UV, IR, and 30mW lasers currently available. These emitters include the driver, which is really great. I'd only want drivers that work in a very wide voltage range, so they can be swapped among many lights.
The list of P60 emitters and lights was very valuable. Thank you.
(4) I need to have all the modes I want, and none that I don't. For example, in a weapons mounted light I might need ON / OFF or STROBE / OFF and nothing else. I might want to specify 100% / 10% / OFF.
(5) Swappable tail caps, including traditional switches, MC switches, and remote pressure switches.
Does anyone have a source for a better option, or for parts for the Ultrafire series I've mentioned?
