I have built 2 SS triples with your X6 Spacers. It works. Just need to understand that the spacer does not touch in the 20mm emitter hole. It touches on the outer edge to the copper body. Here is a pic where it touches, marked in black.
Both of these SS Triples have Glass over optic. One Cute-SS has been sanded and polished smooth which lowered it slightly. Glass is against the smooth optic. The untouched optic has a slight gap between the Bezel and copper Head. Polished optic has no gap.
Disassemble your U11. Remove stock reflector, mcpcb with led. Save stock wires.
Use small amount of thermal grease. Put spacer inside (hole should be on the switch side). Pass wires trough hole. Use stock retaining ring to screw it and hold spacer inside, also if you can screw it down near the same level as anodized step in the host means that spacer sits in its place.
Use quad 20mm pcb. Solder stock wires to it.
Put carclo 24mm quad lens, brass ring around, stock o-ring over brass ring.
Put over stock glass lens and screw bezel down.
Bezel is little out from head on mine sample. This means you can use thiner pcb, or sand spacers downside a little if you would like to.
I have spent lots of time and money on this project. Im sorry for very long production time and not very budget prices.
Kirill, I thanked you a while back for the nice packaging and the speedy shipping. Today I finally assembled the X6 spacer with my noctigon triple and the optic. Everything went together nicely and it sure produces light! Thank you.
I’ll post a picture or two tomorrow in the what did you mod today thread. The host is my brown baked EE X6
I received my first package from you today…it had one of the copper spacers…for the X5 (I believe), a brass liner, and 3 of the quad optics. My other package hit New York customs yesterday so I’m sure it’ll be here in a few days. Everything was packaged very nicely and very secure…each piece was wrapped in foam and put in a little plastic box in it’s own little section…then the plastic box was shrink wrapped. Thank you very much!!
Ok, here is the best I can figure based on that picture, keep in mind that my calipers are fairly cheap so the accuracy is not super exact.
The MCPCB shelf is - 21.68mm
Depth from top of threads to shelf - 33.68mm
Depth from threads to top of shelf - 31.78mm
PCB depth - 1.9mm
Straight bore side (34.1 in your drawing) - 34.31mm
I am not totally sure what you are wanting with the 15.6 measurement, are you wanting the bore size at that depth? If so it appears to fall just on the edge of the straight bore I measured at 34.31mm. It may be very slightly wider then that due to falling right on the corner.
no beamshots of the Kathod PL1672 at the moment and i am sure i got it from you, kiriba. I will take beamshots next time. The beam is quiet nice and broad compared to the stock X6. I had some seroius problems centering and focussing this thing. XP-L HD worked, XP-L Hi didn´t work. Ugly spot and less range. The spot is now about 4-5 times bigger than the stock X6 but much less spill. The spill is useable but decreases from the spot to the side. I have a ring in the beam from the centering adapter but this can only be seen on the white wall. It is gone after 3-4 metres distance. I hoped that the datasheet is correct but it wasn´t. The lens should do 150cd/lumen which should be about 200 Kcd, but this can not really be achieved.
Much thanks.
I have found much more simple solution for liner so 15.6 dimention is not needed.
It is not very fast to type from mobile, please read upd.2 here:
I can found one for you.
Well, I dont know how to deal with them. Australian company is ordering boards in China. Then Richard from MTE orders them from Australia. Then I order boards from MTE and because he dont offer direct shipping to Russia Im using post transfer servise with virtual adress in the US (I can combine several orders and then they are making shipment). If Im lucky and my package passes through the customs I will get them for twice cutters price.
And…after all I have lots orders and more than half of them goes back to the US and even Australia.
In fact I hate cutters design, I hate solder them by myself.
We need to organize 20mm quads production. Technology does not change with led dimentions and quantity, board self-cost depends only from its size and material. 20mm boards should not be more expensive that noctigon xp20 or xm20.
There was a company on here a few months back offering small batches of custom MCPCB’s for a good price. Djozz ordered the custom 144A MCPCB’s from them for around $2 each IIRC, he had to buy 150? of them I think. Might be worth looking into.
