The uniqe difference betwen Carclo and Kaidomain lenses are the diameter of their legs inserts (the part which fits inside MCPCB holes).
KD´s are bigger.

Kaidomain-s optics doesn’t fit into Noctigon 3XP MCPCB because 3XP is designet do accept Carclo optics ( narrower “legs”) so I widened leg-openings with Dremel in order to fit “unsuitable” optics

you would use a spacer. copper from MTN or kiriba-ru. Or self-built (filling a copper pipe or turn a rod on a lathe)
you can also use spare copper sheets, coins, metal pieces, …
If you value your time I’d recommend buying a spacer. It is easier and gives you peace of mind since they will fit. If you are quite handy on your workbench and don’t mind spending some time: You’d build a few spacers. I have made quite a few with coins, solder paste and it was easier than expected. Copper parts would be preferred though.
Thanks MILSPEC!
For sure I’m gonna prefer a ready spacer, as I don’t have a suitable workbench (most probably not even the ability for a DIY spacer ).
Do you know where can I see a photo that shows how such a spacer (16 to 20mm) shows in a Convoy S2+ (or any other flashlight) ?
