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

LEDIL CUTE TRIPLE LED LENS (purchase through kiriba-ru)
Nichia 219C
FET + 7135 Driver - 17mm - MTN
Noctigon XP32 32mm Copper MCPCB

This is not Sofirn C8F but Convoy C8+.

When did you buy this spacer? Recently, kiriba wrote that they are no longer available. I also wanted to build with C8+.

More than 6 month ago?
I dont see C8 spacer reasonable if you can get C8F with reflector and dtp pcb for $14.
For those who want to make unusual build I have C8TT.

I think some of us like options when it comes to hosts and e-switch/tail switch. Plus the increased costs isn’t always a deal breaker.

One blf member will have more interesting option for C8 soon.

Yes, I read it from Neven, that he will sell spacers, MCPCBs for 6 LEDs and a lens for 7 Emitters, the middle optic is not used.

If the lens is for 7 emitters, why not make the MCPCB for 7 emitters?

Because you need hole for wires.

kiriba-ru, do you have more of these good copper-made spacers for Convoy S2+ with triple emitter for sale?

Spacers in stock.
No emitters in stock.

Do you think the Small Sun ZY-T43 would also be a good host for Neven’s new option? 2 cells in parallel would be a good benefit, wouldn’t it?

It is too rare.

Sorry for being so inquisitive. :blush: What do you mean with “too rare”? Do you mean the flashlight is too “unknown” to say if it’s appropriate for Neven’s new option?

Nobody would invest in mod part for the light with unknown manufactured quantity.
There is probability that you will have more mod sets than hosts available on the market.

I’m interested in the C8TT head but do you have the updated version of SS bezel? With sharp crenellations instead of wavy. Like in the C8+.

Thanks

You can pm me, I will combine set without bezel for you, if you can get bezel yourself.

It’s hard to unmount the driver
The head and body of the lantern are glued together
Very thin layer of aluminum on the head, thickness less than a millimeter
During disassembly, I broke the head of the lantern
Do not waste time on it

If somebody will be able to supply 17mm boost drivers, I would make S2+ pills for single led.

kiriba-ru, the C8TT looks great! I will probably order one in the next few months. It’s too bad that there is no compatible 26650 (or at least 21700) body tube.

I read that you mentioned soldering a 17mm driver to the retaining ring. Will it only be fixed by the solder then (not good for mechanical stress…)? Is there no way to use a 20mm to 17mm ring, maybe one from Kaidomain?
