Low-cost copper pills, spacers, optics, drop-ins (Updated 23/10/2022))

I am seeing a chance for a quad X6 here :wink:
When the mcpcb is supplied i can imagine the price for the C8 kit increases ofcourse

Cute-3 price=Cute-4 price
Custom aluminium pcb should not cost more than XP32.
Also, I see another problem here. Many people start modding with my kits. I dont see reasonable supply bare boards without leds, those who can solder leds usualy have popular pcbs in their own stock. I have tried to supply nichias but moq is not realistic for me.

Maybe see if Led4Power can do a”trade price” on his boards,or even collaboration.I can imagine a line of non P60 drop in’s :slight_smile:

Led4power is interested in parallel boards to work with his drivers.
C8TT can work with linear drivers well, but it was developed for 20mm boost driver so I need 2s2p boards that have to be a custom order.

I see.

Stripped the ano of the tube and tail cap so now my C8TT triple heatsink head looks like this :

Awesome !

Got my S2+ pill and M2 quad spacer today. Everything was packed nicely and tracking was accurate. Waiting for some LED4Power parts to arrive before I can complete the quad build. Will follow up after it’s assembled.

Got my p60 copper slug, q8 ring and thanks for hooking me up with the brinyte b158b pill.

You rock!!! I will be definitly buying more items in the future.

Just got my order, after many post office delays, here they are

I got my M2 quad together. It’s running LED4Power 12A driver, 4x Luxeon V on his MOSLED board, and his lighted tail switch.

It’s hard to tell if the O ring is being fully compressed but I can tell it’s at least getting some pressure so i’m not going to be concerned with water resistance. I’m not planning on submersing this in water.

Kiriba-ru did mention that the spacer is meant to not fit “snug” which surprised me at first. However, with thermal paste on both ends of the spacer and everything screwed down I don’t think anything is going to move and I’m getting ridiculous thermal transfer to the body. The light will get hot from head to tail if I let it.

I did ream out the middle hole with next size up drill bit I could find in my tools but only because the LED4Power setup requires 2 LED wires and 3 other ~24G wires for FET,Moon,Temp parts on MCPCB.

Ceiling bounce numbers:

Constant Current 12A setting: 4,000 lm
Direct Drive setting: 5,385 lm (@ turn on)

Moon is just a little brighter than my D4 Nichia.

It does 4,000 lm for about ~75 seconds before stepping down to 1,000 lm. I let it run 5m total and it never stepped down from 1,000 lm but the body was not comfortable to hold at this point.


A few questions about C8TT

next bach will be anodized in black or not?
can i use with 17mm driver without 20 to 17 adapter?
can i use with default lens instead of AR?

In my opinion the Head looks really nice, good work kiriba-ru!

According to current demand, next batch would not exist.
You can use 17mm driver if you solder it to the retaining ring.
You can use any suitable lenses. My idea was to supply most part so you could build second head and swap it when it is necessary.

Just received the new Quad M2 kit. Everything arrived in awesome packaging as always.

Thanks!

First post updated with actual quantities.

Found some old items in my garage:

HD-2010, P60, SK68
PM if interested.

I’ll take the P60, PM sent, thanks.

I received my order today, very well packaged, it took 20days to Australia

@kiriba-ru

I find these plastic boxes you use for shipping your orders very useful for storing bits and pieces of flashlight projects. Can you post a link to where you get them?
