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

Big price drop for S2+ spacers and pills.

as a beginner modder, can you help me understand what do these parts do, and possibly the instructions of them (to see if it is in my skill level)
It appears out of your list of items, I might be interested in S2+ and sofirn C8T

You know there’s this light called the FW3A? :wink:

If you add a spacer to S2+, you can change one led to three leds (mounted on 20mm triple pcb) with carclo triple optics (10507 is the most popular option).
If you replace brass pill with copper one, you can increase heating mass and improve heat transfer.
C8TT was developed to show how fins (placed wide) can improve heat dissipation (not as much as most think). In my experience, C8 with my finned head can carry 2 times more power as regular C8 can.

I agree, seems like people want to handle heat on this light but the body of the fw3a is paper thin and I suspect you wouldn’t be happy in an extra large pill to distribute heat

I think that’s a great idea. FW1A is only 8.3mm longer. By inserting a copper spacer inside, you can significantly increase performance.
I had two FW3A pieces from the first batch with a black clip and sold them, among others, because of the “paper” shelf.

This was my thinking, the FW3A is a great light but struggles with heat due to the thin shelf. A spacer in the FW1A might take the edge off of this problem.

@kiriba-ru
Are you able to extend the shelf for mcpcb in aluminum p60 pills? The new Noctigon mcpcb have a diameter of 23mm instead of 21mm.
I don’t want to use mcpcb from l4p.

Sure.

So please do it on three pieces and keep them for me. I will take them on the next order.

I ordered some parts a few weeks ago and they just came in. The parts look great and I am very pleased with the purchase. Some of the items were “seconds” and Kiriba-ru was very honest and upfront about the issues. Excellent communication and service.

Still have some soldered S2+ triples in stock. They are not perfect (used spacers with misaligned central hole, also pill and spacer have loose for before soldering and this may cause second misalignment) and limited in quantity so I dont list them in first post.
Cheaper than ever, $6/pc.

Ive got one PM with MF01 mini driver heatsink request (ASTROLUX MF01 Mini - common issues thread - #25 by man_of_light).
Im not sure that I will be able to sell the batch, so I need to know if here is enough users interested in.
Im thinking about cheaper alu version, price could be $6/pc.

I would buy two MF01 mini driver heatsinks in aluminium. Copper is maybe too heavy, especially in the copper MF01 mini.

Clearance time is over, prices have been corrected.
MF01 mini driver heatsinks will not be made.
I will make one more P60 quad shells batch (both in Cu and Alu). Trying to make them ready before NY.

Interested!
In order to collect the number of orders, can you place an offer in the topic “ASTROLUX MF01 Mini - common issues thread”?

Sorry, I have already made final decision.

I will take 5 of Copper spacer for triple Convoy S2+/S3/EagleEye X2/BLF A6*/Astrolux S1. Please PM me for Total and PP info. Thanks.

PP sent.

Dang, I would have taken two.
