P60 Cu Pill.

hello on the lookout for a P60 Copper Pill for a single LED build ( Nichia E21A) if anyone has or knows where to get one still.
shipping to USA.
thank you.

User kiruba-ru would be the one to ask I may have spelt his user name wrong. But he’s the only one with a name like that. Should be easy to find

much thanks , just sent a PM.
thank you.

I’m curious about this too, kiriba-ru makes triple but haven’t seen a single from him.

HCRI9080 I’m curious if you’ve found anything yet?

This is the only one I know of yet, but the pill looks too thin P60 XM Dropin - Orange Peel Reflector
and I think it’s brass not copper

Plus, he just found one in his garage! :smiley:

Do you really need all copper for a single E21a?

Nichia E21A can handle 5-6A but it’s low output, I’d think he’d be fine with the shell that I linked in post # 4.

“the E21A led was tested up to 5A at which point it was not burned yet. Later I found the death current to be around 7A”

“I can see a use for these leds in small lights with moderate current, say AA-lights with a boost drive”

(quotes from djozz’s test here: Nichia E17A/E21A series (April 19th: updated with output tests in the OP))

Personally I’m looking to use either one of the XHP’s or an MT-G2, I don’t plan on driving it too hard/over-driving it, but I’d like to find a pill with more mass than the thin one in the shell kit. There are some Drop-ins out there, but I don’t wan’t to pay $50-$60, just want the copper pill really, so I’m wondering what kiruba-ru said.

Peak output was at 3 amps though. It survived at 5A but was at 3/8 output as when it was running at 3A.

Yeah I seen that too. No reason to push it much past 3A.

No reason to push it much past 2A actually, at 1.8A you are at 80% of max already.

I am going to put one in a P60 for myself and a customer. I am planning to use a standard shell, but did order a pair of the kiriba-ru P60 bases. I plan linear drive with 5 .380 7135’s. Have built one in an S2+ this way and really like.

There are some upgraded brass P-60’s on KD

I did not see the new one sold as an empty… I do like the look of them! Who is now our contact there? Was BanL?

I’ve been looking at those as well, was considering getting one to use the shell for my XHP.
