If that is what I think it is, it will provide amazing sustained brightness/size paired with a well regulated driver, can’t wait to know more!
Yesterday I received an order from kiriba-ru (1 Copper pill triple Convoy S2+ – custom retaining ring, both pill and ring have milled cuts; 1 Copper spacer for Carclo triple Convoy S2+). Took 21 days to arrive at my house (Portugal), tracked package.
I’ll use these for 1 or 2 triple builds I’m planning.
Just wanted to show some pics in order to compare it with a regular S2+ Pill, as it may be useful for those intending to make a mod
Quality is excellent and this really got me pumped to get the rest of the components, as I think this pill will be a beast in functions :sunglasses:
Some points I’d like to mention:
- The retaining rings are different, but each one fits perfectly the other pill, no threading problems;
- The pill fits perfectly on the 4 Convoy S2+ I have, threading perfectly as well;
- The spacer is solid and well built, and will imply a mod in the “regular” pill (drilling its center for the wires), but they match perfectly.
I want to thank to kiriba-ru for the nice work done in here! Keep it up
receive my order.thank you

Hmm, Convoy S2/S2+ adapter head for P60/D26 reflector?
This is not lottery, just teaser.
Recieved my U11 spacer setup on Friday. Excellent quality and awesome packaging. Will post pictures when the rest of my parts arrive. I will be ordering more parts soon!
I’ll take one of these:
Copper pill triple Convoy S2+ – custom retaining ring version
Ordered via PM, I wish those custom retaining rings were standard issue, hehe, no more messy soldering over fine threads
Actual situation:
1.5mm thick brass tail board - in progress (will be ready in a week)
stainless steel hex tail screws - on the slowboat from China
hex wrenches - on the fastboat from the US
Golden plated springs - on the slowboat from China
I still not sure that using brass board without isolating most surfaces is safety decision. But applying solder mask to each would take so much time that Ill probably never finish it.
Plactic inserts inside stock positive driver ring (mechanical reverse protection) - still dont have enough information about different button tops: Low-cost copper pills, spacers, optics, drop-ins (Updated 23/10/2022)) - #1064 by kiriba-ru
12x led kit wont be available, have another idea but it will probably goes to the new “tax choise” method described in the end of this post:
Did you ever reveal what this was?
No. Id like to finish this samples before.
I’m sticking with tire-valve caps.
I just had a crazy Idea. kiriba-ru I wonder if you could make Lightsaber hosts! Could find a niche on some Star Wars fans.

I even had “lightsaber” mensioned in topic name some time ago. But havent received any ideas or wishes.
Well You seem pretty savvy with machining, and you do such a great job. So I have no doubt you can do it!

Surely you mean lighted tire valve caps?
I will ask those who are interested in VG-10 quad to open your hosts and specify which version do you have:
Old version from one of chinese websites. Head internal surfaces are complete anodized (no shiny machined surfaces), o-ring between reflector and stock glass lens. Bezel is flat from bottom.2)
Medium version from amazon deals. Head is machined inside, o-ring around glass lens (between bezel and reflector). Bezel have rim so glass enters inside bezel.3)
Epic fail version from thorfire GB. Extra aluminium disc and LB pcb under main pcb.
Still make these?
Still have several various vg10 kits.
