Add this link for Cree C6:
DealExtreme: $10.90 C6 DIY Cree LED Flashlight Full Casing/Shell with Driver Pill (2*CR123A/1*18650)

That's the bare casing without the emitter.

Re: looking for a host??clik me

That is really sexy Jelly!

If I could build some, And use some black host, I´d go with something like this:
100mw 532nm Focusable Torch 100mw 532nm Focusable Torch [] - $72.00 : Laserlands
über decent profi look.
But I´d also like to go with some coloured nice shaped housing, which you already posted.

Thanks for compiling this. I'll make it a sticky. Keep adding to it if you find a good host, it'll minimize the amount of threads on the same subject

Silvershot, you should use the aurora... the c6 Cree does not have the battery contact PCB to solder to.

Actually, it's not difficult to make your own PCB with contact, if not, you can use AMC7135 flashlight drivers, desolder components and use them as blank PCBs (or even use AMCs as driver, reds and greens work well with lithium ion batteries with AMC),
Hell, if nothing else, just drill out the emitter place and extend a spring from the driver to touch the battery.

Connections are least of your worries in such quality host, I've done all kind of improvisations in C6.

Re: looking for a host??click me

Yeah.. or for $5 more you get a pcb ready to go.... I dunno for me the less things to modify/go wrong is well worth the extra $
