Low-cost copper pills, spacers, optics, drop-ins (Updated 23/10/2022))

10507 20mm triple and cute-3ss 35mm triple.

ill get some Carclo 10507 20mm triple Narrow Spot Plain on the next round order :smiley:

If you can put together a kit for F13, I would like to get one from you.

What do you mean “kit”? Solder leds to pcb and pcb to the spacer? When I have parts in stock I offer such services for free.
Anyway next parts will not be ready earlier than 3 weeks after this message.

Nope, What I meant by kit was that I would like to buy complete set of parts.
Such as

MCPCB,
Copper Spacer,
Any rings for centering if needed
Optics.

I can do the build myself. :slight_smile:

Yes, when XP32 board is in stock

Yes, when spacers are ready

I dont like when glass lens are pressed with the tir lens and when this is the only way to give pressure between o-ring and host, but X7 trasfotmation was designed this way. If it wont work and somebody will broke glass lenses, I will make rings between head top and bezel.

Yes, if CUTE-3 optics will be still in stock.

You (and other members too) can simply reserve parts when they are in stock. I will take plastic box, write your nick over and parts that were in stock at this moment will be waiting until you order could be full completed.

I got some of those pills and they are great, i realy like the b158 one
Thanks m8!

I think its about a time for you to start offering custom hosts :wink:

I just built 2x XP-G3 S2+ lights with your spacers, they work great! I am sure I will be ordering more.

Mixed tint triple = amazing.

I have forgot about you purchase Texas_Ace. You have set up new record, more than six month between goods receiving and feedback :open_mouth: . Thanks anyway.

LOL, well I only recommend what I have personally tried and in this case I just never got around to building the triples. First the XP-G3 GB took way longer then expected, then I ended up not having enough left over after other projects to build these lights, then I could not decide what LED’s to put in them.

Still got 3 copper adapters left, gonna build another 1 or 2 mixed tint triples to dial in the exact LED’s to make the perfect final tint, then try something else for the last one.

I received my parts! Thanks very much and I must complement you on the packaging! Cheers!

What are you using for your mixed triples?

Hey m8, i have kinda “wierd” demand :laughing:

Several month ago i was able to get a russian tweezers from an unknown source( they just arrived at work), lately i asked where the hell did the supplier got those but it seems they were laying in his store for years

Those are the strongest and the best tweezers i have seen in my entire engineer carrier, one could even use them as a …everything, they will never break, snap, swap ot damage, very solid one, very russian :slight_smile:

Could you pls take a look and if you find those ,offer them to us, the next time i order pills from you will get at least 6pcs if the price is reasonable

I suppose they are from medicine. I will try to find them in medical equipment shop (I knew that smth similar does exist but still continue using low-cost chinese tweezers).

I received my spacers yesterday. Looking good. Shipping was quite fast from Russia to Germany. Will report back when I have the first one installed. Thank you very much, kiriba-ru!

Here is it:


Neck+short tube=18650 light
To use 18350 (s), you need extra rings (number of rings=number of 18350)
I have only big rings that fit tail right now (made from SS). Later I will make smaller ones (to use them between tubes) and those one that can fit between neck and head (all from brass). Head side is little long, if you wont use ring between head and neck you need to sand it down a little or just put some o-ring there.
You can screw-in any convoy S series pill. Triple pill or single pill with spacer can be used to build quad with Carclo optics, single pill without spacer can be used together with some single optics.
You can use long tweezers to adjust pill position for optics height.

Same in copper:

External surfaces are not so good and require some polishing, but I dont have time to do this so they will be selling “as is”.

Just received my package from kiriba-ru, color me very pleased. The spacer seems nice and everything was packaged very very well. He even shipped it in this nice little plastic box. Tracking was provided and accurate. Would recommend!!

I had a couple of questions about the solid neck p60 AL. Do you mean that, the neck + 18350 extension tube, head, and tail = you can fit a 18650 cell? Also I’m not sure if I understand what you mean by if you add extra rings you can use 18350 cells. Is that for multi-battery setups?

Yes neck only is close to fit 18350 cell inside.
One 18350 cell is longer than half of 18650 cell length (and ext tube length), two 18350 cells are longer than one 18650 cell and etc.
So if you will use one or two 18650 cells, you will have enought space for cells inside and extra rings allow you to use protected cells.
But if you are going to use one, two, three or four 18350 cells you have to add at least one, two, three or four rings respectively.
