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) ?
Note: Different lights require different spacers. S2 vs S2+ vs others and so on. With the height of the spacer you can also vary the overall inside dimensions of your light.
There are tons of triple builds around, with good build reviews and pictures. Especially here and on CPF.
I am building two myself atm but need to find more time next week to finish it off.
edit: Apologies for so much off topic all, but to stay on topic - the kaidomain triple 219C set is still on sale.
