I've been surfing the Internet, looking around to see what sort of flashlight-based host I'd like to put my first build into. And I've found a LOT of possibilities.
I wanted to provide the list to all members here in case you see something interesting that you'd like to try.
Disclaimer: I'm not sure if these hosts would have enough room inside for the Aixiz + driver + batteries. This is just a list of ideas. I do not own any of these to take measurements. And some of these hosts may be repeats of hosts used for builds on LPF already.
I have not included O-like or Rayfoss or DX in this list, because I'm sure all of you are familiar with their hosts already.

Well, that's all for now. I'll probably add to this post as I find more. Thanks for looking, and I hope one of these will make a good host for my (and your) project.
If you know for a fact that a particular host definitely IS or IS NOT suitable to be a laser host, please let everyone know in this post.
Thank you!
