The Nitecore P12 tailcap fits perfectly onto the Nitecore P30. It makes it easier to use a lanyard without having to use the tactical ring on the P30, and it will tail stand. Tail standing is not perfect because the rubber boot on the P12 switch is a bit taller then the cap. However, It does work as you can see in the pic.
It just so happens that I'm on the bus on my way home and I also happen to carry my D4V2 and 90% sure that I should have some change in my wallet. Now.. let's see if no one is looking my way and..
Nope, just joking.. But, all of a sudden just realised.. my trip home seems to have gotten that much longer for whatever reason, I wonder why that could be, hmm..
Anyone know what other lights have threads that Astrolux S41/S42/S43 (Mateminco S01/S02/S03) tubes would lego with?
Trying to find more attractive 18650 and 18350 tubes for a new Astrolux S43S that is on it's way. (Copper head, alu body version).
Both the S41S and S42S have editions with lovely Stainless/Coloured tubes, tails and bezels. But they never made these complete editions of the S43.
I have already ordered the official 18650 tubes in SS from Banggood which are available separately at reasonable price.
They also have matching tails in SS available separately - but only the S41 version with button.
The S42/43 flat buttonless style doesn't seem to be available separately. Neither do the shorter SS/Coloured 18350 tubes seem to be individually available.
I've contacted Mateminco (OEM) to see if they can supply these body parts separately. Besides, their stock S03 tube (Black Alu) is much nicer than the completely smooth plain tube they supplied for the Astrolux S43. The Mateminco version has rather cool finger indents!
Would the multitude of available tubes (many of which I already own!) for the BLF A6 / Convoy S2+, work with the Astrolux?
Even better, would the Lumintop FW3A/FW1A tubes or Bezel lego with any of these - A6/S2+/Astrolux S4x?
There are beautiful copper, SS & Ti 18350 tubes available separately from Lumintop that would be perfect if they work...
Not having the Astrolux, I would say NO, just because of the diameter! The S4x Lights are quads, while the FW3A is a triple.
The diameter of head and the bezel is probably larger on the Astrolux lights!
Maybe someone can check this, but I guess my hint is correct!
That was my assumption too, however the bezel on the S43 actually narrows much more than the full width of the copper head. (Unlike the FW series shape where the head is uniform all the way to the bezel.
I’ve measured the Astrolux bezel as being ~26.9mm - 27mm. (Diameter across the widest point).
Please could you see what your FW3A is, even if just with a ruler? Then I know whether to bother looking into the threads!
Wow thanks for all that!
It certainly helps me save a fiver on a SS bezel that wouldn’t fit the light! Removing from my basket now.
You were spot-on - I had no idea the FW3A head would be that much narrower.
Glad it helped
The quads are larger than the triples, unless the flashlights are highly moded to be narrower. Vinh (Skylumen) made a FW3A fit a quad MCPCB and Optic, but he had to “trim” that to fit well. Using normal optics and MCPCBs, the quads will always be larger.
You can check if the bezels of the Emisar D4V2 or KR4 fit, but those will be probably larger and the thread will be even less similar. But maybe someone can help on that
