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

What type Maglite D Does the dropin fit? The older incandesent bulbs or led? I have a couple older D Maglites I want to upgrade.

I never had Mag D in my hands, but I suppose my drop-ins can fit any version if its bore is not smaller than drop-in size (34.25mm).

Received my order super quick! This was my 3rd order and each time it’s been efficient and exactly what I was expecting. I highly recommend!

Thanks Kirill!

Hi! Do you have any spacers for the Convoy M2 for a quad?

I will think about making some of them.

I would like one as well, prefer aluminum if given the choice.

Hi kiriba-ru, do you still had some of the maglite heatsink with XHP50 available?

Yes, few sets in stock.

What about a short tube for the Skilhunt H03?

No abilities to produce them right way.

I would like aluminium as well. My intended build won’t be high output and I don’t want to have to worry about galvanic corrosion between copper and aluminium.

My order arrived nice and safe over the weekend. It gets installed today, but I already opened it and the retaining ring threads into the pill like butter.

If anyone's wondering, it was packaged nicely and took 20 days to reach the continental US, with tracked shipping. As expected, and I'm quite pleased.

Mag D sets are sold out, but I still have 3 empty drop-ins.

If nobody is interested in custom pill for bigger pcb or custom optics or etc., I will make same 16mm pills as were provided with my sets and sell them as is.

Would it be possible for you to make this spacer for the Convoy S11 host in copper?

It was designed by a Reddit user named DE-173 in this post. and they were kind enough to share their design for the spacer.

I have host on hands and can do a sample if you need.

Lets make it happen :slight_smile:

Is there any need for M2 quad spacers if I will make S11 full height quad pills?

Better wait for S21A.

S21A should fit triple optics, not quad.
S11 is great out from the box. If you want custom leds and driver, youd probably move from ugly XHP tint to 4 smaller but more pretty leds. So you need spacer. If I went with my regular quad design (Cu spacer+brass liner ring), this would cause too many parts that have to be put under stock pill (also youd probably use 17mm driver so extra adapter was necessary). I think full height aluminium quad pill with 17mm driver place is good consensus, not so heavy, not so expensive, not tricky for build, better thermal transfert, no need in extra adapters. Also full height pill design is easy both for upgrade and downgrade - this is not common for S2+ (smaller size+similar drivers) but should be cool feature of S11. Just have two sets - stock pill with reflector and quad pill with optics. And change between them when you need.

I’m in need for a 18650 quad host and was wondering if the Sofirn SF36 would not make a better host than the Convoy M2 since the SF36 with XP-L HD is regularly on sale with a reduction, actually US $16.95.
If not, I will go for the M2 spacer, 3 or 4 units (in aluminum).
