I found this host on DX, it's the Aurora SH-032
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32563
I'm always browsing DX for possible hosts, that catch my eye. This one sure did, I like nice shinny things
It seems well built, has a nice heft to it. It has smooth threading and double o-rings. It also includes a GITD rear clicky. It runs of a 18650 cell, so this host will have room for either a red, violet or green build. For red and green you can use a 18650. For a green you will have to use a cr123 or cr2 cell.
I sent the host out to flaminpyro, and had him build a custom heatsink for a green. I got back a massive full body heatsink, fits like a glove
I'm currently using a O-Like 200mW module I say 170mW and a rcr123 cell.
I know I probably should be using a 1n4006 diode to drop the voltage.
But I think your pretty safe with the o-like 150 and 200mW modules. They are rated for 3.7v
I liked this hosts so much, that I will be ordering 2 more for a red and 405nm build. I think it will make a nice matching set of 3
