I hope you guys can figure out the new way and put these back up soon - my L2 with the DD’d SST40 is nearly a perfect column of white light! Thanks again for offering these sir
So I checked the specs for the astrolux/manker/banggood 4 lens against the new KD quad optic above, if both specs/pictures can be trusted: they appear to be the same.
I put my Manker quad lens on my Noctigon quad MCPCB (without reflowed LEDs!) and they won’t line up, at least not exactly; I don’t know how they would look with LEDs reflowed on them. I can’t describe this with more accuracy, sorry. Couldn’t even photograph it (wouldn’t show). Maybe someone with more knowledge can pitch in.
As we know, the Manker/BG/astrolux quad have 2 skinnier legs and the Carclo Quad optic series have 4 legs.
Hi BanL, can you please look into Order #4512, I'm still waiting for the refund for the 4 XHP70.2 LEDs that where not delivered. I have sent several emails in the last 4 or 5 weeks, but got no reply to any of them.
What single small optic or even a 20mm reflector is there for XHP50.2? And a driver to run3-4 of them in a mag light type host.
Anyone got any advise? Don’t know if I should run 4 triplets instead…?
You seem busy trying to pair optics with MCPCBs. How important actually is this? 0K, I sort of smell you are going to say “quite a lot” or in the likes. If so, asking the MCPCB seller/provider/manufacturer can be a good starting point.
I wonder how “good” would a wide hole optic, real wide (≈11mm) I mean, fit with frankenquad MCPCBs. I really like those MCPCBs, affordable and widespread. They just need some optic love, I mean, some optics specifically designed for them.
I was told (by one of your colleagues) that the XHP70.2 LEDs that I ordered were out of stock and given the option to change to a different LED or get a refund. I chose the refund (that was about 5 weeks ago), but I haven't received any reply (or the refund) since. I have sent a couple of emails after that, but got no reply either.
I think it will be clear if you have a look at the emails.
It’s a old SA police light so not exactly a mag light but I got it free and guess I gotta make something g of it. Hand grains a spacer that I will press fit then need to establish the exact height of the mcpcb/optic/reflector/lens so I can make another copper spacer for above that. Which 5x5 optic you seen? The head ID is not massive
