I'll get some reflowed in the next couple of days and let you know (unless I destroy them all in the process! )
I just changed the way that the P60 dropins are listed, as well as a few other tweaks. I will continue to work on simplifying the site and implementing some of the excellent suggestions I have received from all of you!
Damn, you answer fast. Thanks!
Some people looking for shrinkwrap due to the keeppower issue. Just remembered you started carrying it. Now I can mention they don’t have to wait 3 months for FT.
The Convoy C8 reflector definitely needs to be enlarged for the MT-G2. The pill is also 16mm vs. 20mm, I used to think that this wouldn't work, but I was shown otherwise by Comfychair (see post #323). You need to grind down the MCPCB and remove some of the solder mask over the trace. I had to open up the reflector on my XinTD V4 and on my Ultrafire C12 to make the MT-G2 work. I ground it out at first, now I am using a t-handle reamer which is slower but produces a much nicer finished result.
I haven't looked very closely yet at the M1 reflector, it may work without anything, but I'm not sure yet. If you order one together with an MT-G2 leave me a note and I'll open it up a bit with my reamer so it will work with the MT-G2.
The Small Sun ZY-T08 doesn't need to be opened up at all to work with the MT-G2.
there isn’t room for any kind of centering ring in the M1 reflector, which makes me a little leery as it risks the reflector rubbing against the dome when tightening the bezel down.
TGT, cut the dome off and you won’t have to worry about that!
I sliced one about 1/32” above the die face, then cut off he phosphor that extended beyond the actual dies, works great, somewhat smaller hot spot. Comfy recommened I put silicone grease on the blade to help ease it through the dome, which works quite nicely. I bought a scalpel and blades, but wouldn’t you know I ended up getting 20 blades that are NOT chisel grind! Who woulda thought it’d be difficult to find a chisel ground scalpel blade? Still looking…
I saw someone posted they used a paper clip as a guide, looped it around the dome and pulled against the blade to keep a consistent cut, sliding the blade over the metal clip like a spacer. Sand the paper clip down if it’s too thick. Just don’t pull hard, ya know? Counter the force of the blade.
The dome is 8mm, the 'standard' XML hole is 7mm (corner-to-corner across the square substrate). Some using a nonstandard centering ring have emitter holes of 8mm or 9mm.
MTG2 usually has the best focus when it's farther back from the reflector's inside surface than is typical with other LEDs, so the hole doesn't need to be large enough for the entire square base to fit through.
That’s the hybrid reflector in an Solarforce M8. Wish I’d known to be more careful and not cut the surface of the substrate, or at least get em all the same for conformity. Oh well. It works, that’s the main thing!
That one’s downsized to 1600px on the long side, need it bigger?
Haven’t done it like this in a while, hope I’m not messing anything up…
You should be able to pick from various sizes in flicker, up to 3456px wide.
