I wish they had these available couple of years ago; I moved all my self-assembled lights to 21700 Hosts because cheap buck and boost drivers were only available in 20mm and 22mm sizes.

I haven't been building a lot of DIY stuff lately, but I have a C8 I think is going to need one of these and the upcoming high-CRI SFT40.
Hi cri sft40? Damnit, I just built a L21B with the "new" XP-L HI with the lower Vf.
According to the Convoy BLF thread there is also an 8A buck driver coming in 20mm size. That (or these new 17mm drivers with an adapter) enables more options for the S21A as well.
Ordered the S6 with CSLNM1 and requested the 5a buck driver for an 18350 pocket thrower, hopefully.
5A is running a 519A, SST-20, etc… fairly hard,
I think that statement might apply to this Osram emitter as well.
These will be sweet for s2+ triples.
I ordered ten 5A drivers. I'm pretty excited about these. Anyone else bulk ordering and moving a lot of hosts over? Gonna build my first W1 S2+ too!
