Payment sent for 1 x X6 copper spacer and shipping to UK. (10.6 spacer preferred, 8.6 if not).

BTW - I forgot to add my BLF username to my PayPal transaction. Apologies.

I will take

2x Copper pill for S2+

Interested. In a copper pill for the s2/s5 but I can’t order till later in week

Very nice prices! Is there a link to the ebay page?

Paypal sent!!

Can I have one Cu and one Al spacer for X6? 10.6mm if possible. Please PM me. Thanks!

Waiting for “Copper spacer for Carclo triple Convoy S2+*”.

:wink: great thing, kiriba

Anybody interested in stainless steel lanyard rings?

I don’t picture it, could you provide a sketch or a pic please ?

I have an S8 laying around so the copper pill seems very interesting.
How much is it with shipping to germany.

Guys, as I see you don`t have great interest in X5 quad pill/spacer. Maybe we shouldn`t make them?
This host has really tight head and making full height pill/spacer for quad requires less than 1mm wall thickness in one place, this is almost impossible.
Later I`ll add some drawings - simple spacer (low profile, without thread) should be better for my choise.

Hi, I’d like to buy
1 copper triple spacer for S2+
1 copper triple spacer for S2
1 copper triple spacer for X6
Please PM me!
Thanks

There is one more problem with X5 triple.
In stock it is assembled in this sequence: bezel-glass-o-ring-reflector.
If we save this sequence, we need to use full height pill (or small pill/spacer one extra part, short tube between head edge and o-ring).
The other way is changing sequence to this: bezel-o-ring-glass-optics.
What do you think?

Why glass? The tir lenses are meant to be used without additional glass…

Carclo quad lens are the same diameter, as hole in the X5’s bezel…

I think you made a typo here : S2 spacer
You wrote “This spacer will allow you to easily build your own triple XP-G2/Nichia 219/XP-L flashlight using one of the Convoy S2+/S3 (Not original S2). ” but it’s also written “Height: 13.4mm”

Corrected. Thanks.

kiriba-ru, for the quad mcpcb the wires come through a hole in the center. The heat sink/spacer would only need a center hole accordingly, and the emitter shelf in the light will need to have a matching hole drilled.

I use a center hole in the 32mm Noctigon for triples in the X6’s because it keeps the wiring safer. If the mcpcb is glued down, this isn’t so much a problem, but if thermal paste is used the mcpcb can twist when tightening the bezel and it will cut the insulation, grounding out the positive lead potentially and causing issues. I drill through the center pad (not needed) on the 32mm mcpcb.

No threads are necessary for the new style X6/X5 heat sinks, the sink is lower than the threads and the threads have a wider diameter than the area immediately above the emitter shelf. UNLESS you wish to make a full lens-to-shelf pill that encapsulates the optic in the X5, then it might be good to thread it in.

Edit: Images changed to reflect the quad, I had mistakenly posted pics of a triple

How do you imagine this? You are going to sell something with word “Yes guys, you need to take your unique copper head and drill a hole in the center”?

I would like to have X6 with 4 leds, when the central one is red and is blincking rarely.

I have made measurements by my own and I`m not sure you are right.
Upper edge of the thread is a bit (about 1mm) upper than the upper surface of mcpcb (when using carclo 6mm height optics) on X5.
Full height (lens-to-shelf) pill seems to have to much problems.
Low height pill can also be with threads ot without, but first one will be defenetly twice price of the second one.
I have not heard any ideas about o-ring disposition. If we move it between glass and bezel, our optics sits a bit lower.
But if somebody convince me that o-ring should be under glass (as in stock), I would offer him other variant with spacer+one more part - short tube, that will play two roles: directing optics and being lower plane for o-ring pressuring.
Using triple is also a good idea for me, but most members associate triple with 24mm convoy host and want bigger optics in 31mm head.

Even your design with ultra-low wall thickness (I`ll never make so) can`t improve standart watertight. Stock reflector have a step for o-ring, your variant requires moving it out of the glass. This motion moves optics and pcb down, maybe that`s why do you say that spacer is lower than threads location.
