It's bee a while so I figured I would update this thread. I started shipping drop ins with a new revision a reversed spring soldered on the bottom so they now fit Solarforce and other extra long P-60 hosts with no modification required. Also all 1A tint XMLs are U2s now and I have 4C tint R5 XPGs that are visibly brighter than the old 4B or 3D tint R4s.
New Spring design on all 105C drivers
New Neutral tint XPG
XPG R5 4C XPG R4 4B XPG R4 3D
I want this setup :
Neutral XML T5 in 4B tint,
1.7Amp driver would be perfect,
Smooth reflector,
3 mode high-med-lo with memory, regulated.
Do you think you can make it for me? How does it cost? I’m using Solarforce L2P host powered by 1x18650 battery.
Thanks.
The 4Bs are sold out and no longer available also I can't ship overseas at the moment, sorry.
I have some 3Cs that are very close to the 4Bs, maybe you have a shipping idea that might work.
Send me a PM if you want to talk more.
Just want to update this thread. All the 4B XML are sold out and no longer available I have 3C tint XMLs to replace them and some 7C XML if anyone wants a high CRI drop in.
Also the 3D tint R4 XPGs are sold out replaced with a 4C tint R5 XPG that is much brighter.
I will be doing a run the high CRI Nichia emitters from Craig at Illumination supply if anyone is interested feel free to order the emitter yourself on a 10mm board and mail them to me or send me a PM about which ones you want.
I have some Green Emitters coming for another run of weapon lights. I will update shortly they should be here any day.
I got 7C tint XMLs available they are quite orange looking like the sun setting in your window, it makes my 4Bs look CW.

Welcome to the site, Ryley.
As there is certain interest in these drop-ins from international customers: would international shipping be possible with usps first class international as a small and light package (https://www.usps.com/ship/first-class-international.htm)? Shipping costs would be <5$ if i read correctly.
I use USPS exclusively and the price on there website is incorrect. I go to the local post office (United States Postal Service) on a daily basis and to ship a drop in using USPS to Germany is over $30 dollars. I am willing to try other shipping methods, but I have yet to find one with a reasonable shipping cost, sorry.
Welcome to BLF, Lagerregal.
I have fun here and am sure you will too.
Do you still have the high cri xm-ls? Also are you willing to do custom programming?
I have some more on the way, send me a PM about the programming.
I'm looking for an XML U2 for my first sf L2 lego light. I like the five mode you mentioned earlier. Not sure if I should go with 2.8 or up to 3.5 yet.
Also I noticed you were in NH. I help run a hacker space in nashua www.makeitlabs.com
We have soldering equipment and lathes and all kinds of fun stuff that would be applicable to this hobby. Also I'd just be interested in meeting up and talking lights.
Thanks
Christian
Sorry to bother but are you sure that the First Class shipping method cost that much? I live in Brazil and USPS First Class is always cheap. The dropin can be sent in a little envelope, so the shipping should be $10 tops. On the other hand, USPS Priority Mail method is expensive. Maybe your local post office made a little mess with the methods.
I really wanted at least one dropin 
Christian send me a PM and we talk more about a custom drop in for you. I would love to check your shop out.
As far as shipping goes, I go to the post office in town on a daily basis. I use first class USPS for shipping and the prices on there website and the price the workers give me vary wildly. I am 4 hours from the Canadian border and it's almost $30 dollars to ship a drop in to Montreal and I can drive there in 6 hours. I am sorry about not being able to ship outside the country, but I don't have another shipping option that is a reasonable driving distance to investigate.
Welcome to the club, cstcyr.
Last time I shipped a drop-in to Canada cost under $5 - USPS First Class from Texas
I am sure you did, but people in states that border Canada get screwed trust me I have tried on several occasions to ship to 3 different provinces.
I am willing to bet they did not make you fill out customs paperwork either.
I use "Customs Declaration CN 22" form most of the time. When I choose Priority with insurance, I use "Customs Declaration CP 72" form.
It only cost me $7 and change to Priority mail a micromag all the way to Australia.
Did you use the flat rate priority box?
I am making a run of Green P-60 drop ins using these driven at 1.5 amps if anyone is interested send me a PM. I estimate they put out 200 lumen and they throw as far as a standard XRE Q5.
