WTB: Side clicky host(s)

I'm looking for a side clicky host (or hosts). Something sexy looking to build a new diode I have coming this week.

Preference to something that can be shipped quickly. Doesn't matter if the side clicky is an on/off button or a momentary, because I'll be swapping in a momentary switch anyway. However, I don't want any sort of pen style host, and I don't want a host that relies on the driver board itself for mounting of the button. IE, new-wish style hosts are no good, etc.

The guidesman is basically the general layout/style I'm looking for, but I don't want to actually use a guidesman for this.

Contact Ehgemus or ask Jeff or Jay. Had good experiences with all of them.

Have you checked out the Sipik host by Qumefox? If you ask me, they look pretty sexy

A completely custom host from Ehgemus would probably take a bit longer than I want to wait for this particular builds, and I didn't think either Jay or Jeff had any side clicky hosts - except for Jay's pen style ones.

I have and love that Sipik from Qumefox!
Problem is, it's built with a 445 already, and I'm not willing to cannibalise it

Not a side clicky, but I've always thought it would be fun to have something like one of these as a laser. Bass Pro shops had one on special a few weeks ago, but I don't see them on the web anymore. (Never could tell from the ad if they were plastic or metal bodied) The one at Bass Pro even had a magnetic base.

I feel your pain rhd, there seems to be a lack of cool looking side button flashlights since most of the good stuff are sold as tactical lights, and apparently the professionals dont like side button clickys.]

i found this ok looking side button host that takes a 14500...it looks like any other host, but it has a built in charging port thats connected before the switch...it is reminiscent of Matt's police host that has a similiar built in charging port. Im running a overdriver Q5 in mine because i need a decent powered small sized thrower....which this light does nicely... i might buy another one and have Jeff make a heatsink for it.

lemme give you the link HERE

That's a nice looking host!

I'm pretty set on two-cell setups. At this stage, I trust DIY linear drivers a lot moreso than commercial boosts. I have never had a linear driver fail on me.

I have many hosts in stock and several side clickies, TANK007, SIPIK, Romisen RC-R4, small sun 118A, I could probably find more if I root through the drawers.
