People always said a P60 couldn’t handle 3 XM-Ls. It turns out it can. I was (and still am) pretty happy with my triple drop in, but I feel like there is still wasted space.
I recently heard that Nightcrawl is making a quad XM-L P60, which is the limit of how many LEDs can fit on a board and still have optics. Naturally I still want to have the most XM-Ls in a P60, so I was rather annoyed with Nightcrawl. He would have the one with the most XM-Ls, then I realized.
Who needs optics. :evil:
So my question is, who can make me a heatsink out of copper for P60s that would have holes spaced correctly for this. (Mattaus's heatsinks wouldn't work)
As usual, special thanks to PilotPTK for his amazing work on this. Now I can have some nice thick wires going to the LED. :D
SolarForce M3 head might make a good start. Bigger lense, more room to shove copper in. Driver in the normal P60 spot sitting under a giant chunk of copper with the Leds sitting at the top of the host. Lenses resting over the Leds filling up the rest of the M3 assembly, so no mulehead needed.
No, I don't like the M3 since it is not a standard P60.
Also, my search for batteries is over.
Hypothetically I cant get a minute or two of run time before it runs out of batteries. Of course some basic calculations show it might reach 5000+ lumens.
8 amps from and IMR battery straight the body of the drop in. If I do it through the body and the spring it is a bit lower. Even lower if through the tailcap.
I can tell you that 20 amps is obtainable (hypothetically) using a zero res switch and no springs.
