Has anybody built a heatsink for this host?

Here's the host:

Sky Ray G6

Manafont.com | $21.2 Sky Ray G6 Cree R5 5-Mode Stainless Steel LED Flashlight (1*18650)

Found an image:

I think it's pretty good lookin' but haven't found anybody mentioning it around here. I think it would be a sweet laser host. I don't have the equipment or expertise to attempt this but I think somebody should look into it.

I am ordering one of these from Manafont right now.

You can pm jayrob to make a costome heatsink for that host.

I'll surely talk with him about it.

Do you not agree that it is one sweet looking host?

 

[blakegriffin]

I do think it looks awesome I am not sure what color would lok good in it. If I were to use that host in my next build which will be in like a half a year I would probably make a 12x violet laser or I would just put in like a 50-100mw green laser module.

That would be a beautiful host! Simple and streamlined. 405 would be great coming out of that baby, but any color would be fine.

I've taken to calling it the "Ribbed Silver Senior"

It fits SH-032 and TR-801 heatsinks perfectly.

Now that's what I've been hoping to hear!

Sweet!

Why am I not surprised?

Keep up the good work!

I got this host in the mail from Manafont today. It's very good quality. Minimalistic footprint for fitting an 18650. Much more attractive than the SH-032 IMO. It also tailstands great because the button does not protrude slightly like my SH-032 does.

Mine came with (I think) a Cree XP-G, so it's quite a nice flashlight (though it could be better without the flashy modes)...

What's interesting is it does not have a screw off tailcap. The clicky is mounted on a pill which screws into the back of the "body" piece.

The primary o-ring seems to fit pretty snug. I think with a bit of lubing and making sure everything's tight, it will be very waterproof.

Edit: I am pretty sure that this particular unit I got does not have any memory. So you will always need to deal with the blinky modes. This is obviously a flashlight dealbreaker so I imagine I'll swap my sh-032 build into this host. Will post back with results and pictures.

These are the same hosts Yobresal is selling in blue color.
You better start a new thread because the old one is over a year old and your question has nothing to do with it. :tsk:
