Nice, ordered qty 4 of the V6 3B's, and some more of those black MCPCB's - they sure look good - nice wide traces, etc. The triples are quite thin though at 1 mm. Not sure why the triples are thinner than the single MCPCB's. Triples should actually be thicker - 2 mm would be nice.
If you solder the mcpcb on the spacer (or copper pill etc) i don’t think there will be a problem .
But i would like too , a better one , with 2mm thickness .
Aw.
Shucks.
I agree thicker triple MCPCB would be better.
With 2mm thickness the legs of the optics wouldn’t stick out / through the bottom either.
BanL, could you source the new XHP50.2 leds?

Also, many drivers you sell have strobe and sos modes. Personally (and I’m sure some here on BLF would agree) I’m not a big fan of those modes. I rather have 3 (or 4) normal modes like: (turbo), high, medium, low, (moonlight). With a possibility of hidden blincky modes like the strobe and sos. Hidden could be a double click or something. (like this one: FX-30 )
Some examples: the FX35 MT-G2 boost driver , the FX35 XHP35 boost driver . (my personal favorites :D)
Hi friends
Happy New Year and Wish you all the BEST.
Thank you guys for all your support to KD.

Hi
Yes. We are waiting from our supplier. Once we get it, we would update to KD asap.
You are right. There is too many different wanted with different mode arrangement.
To thanks for your advice, i had uploaded a new CREE XHP35 driver (this is required by once of BLF friend)
Thanks
Thank you very much for sourcing this driver, order placed.
Happy New Year BanL
You’re welcome
Thanks
Hey Kaidomain.
I bought http://kaidomain.com/p/S026149.Triple-Cree-XP-L-HD-Neutral-White-4500K-LED-Emitter-with-20mm-x-1mm-DTP-Copper-PCB-(Parallel)-w-optics
I thought, that when I bought LEDs with an optic, it will be fit together. But it’s a ordinary optic for Nichia / XP-G / XP-L HI not to XP-L HD. The optic is first based on the LED domes, not on the legs. Led domes will be damaged.
There is two sides on this:
- Kaidomain should not sell triples with optics that do not fit.
- on the other hand it is known, at least for Carclo triple optics of which the KD optic is a clone, that XPL-HD leds do not fit. So it could have been figured out beforehand. That does require some knowledge/experience on the subject though, and KD should not assume all customers experts
So why would KD sell a XP-L HD triple at all if it does not fit under an optic? Two possibilities:
- to be used without optic
- or they assume that the buyer is going to dedome the leds.
Or 3) that the customer will modify the optic to fit at their own risk.

djozz, KD optics is not Carclo clone.
I have one of these XPL-HD triple kits and with it being my first build of a triple I had no idea what to expect, seamed to go together ok to me. And it functions ok (although I did expect more light!! but then I guess we all want more of that!)
Using a BLF A6 host, short tube , efest purple 18350 , Convoy 8x 7135 driver with new firmware. Home made alloy spacer between LED PCB and shelf.
Reading what you guys are saying Is something up with the fitting of the optic? , The optic seams to sit on its legs and the LED domes equally ,this correct?
I will choose third option, and try to drill the optic a little bit, to fit the domes in.
Is it the same lens: http://kaidomain.com/p/S023167.3-in-1-20mm-Optical-Lens ? If I waste first one I have to get possibility to buy new one.
Probably You just didn’t noticed that the lens first sits on the leds domes, and it’s still missing around 0,5mm that the optic legs base in the right place. You just get lucky You didn’t damaged the LED domes when assembling all together.
I assumed that because it fits the same board, but now that you correct me I see that I’m completely wrong. Just had a look at the KD triple that I received last week, it even does not fit the Carclo 20mm triple optic, just KD’s own one (which looks nice enough btw, I like the thicker build and the flat surface so that it can more safe be used in a flashlight without glass lens).
Left KD 20mm triple optic, right Carclo 20mm optic.
In what way does it not fit?
Any chance to get copper DTP or at least aluminium triple 219C 4000K R9050 serial boards?
Home lighting purposes. 
Cheers ^:)
The KD triple boards I have are JUNK, they aren’t flat at all too thin by the time I filed and stoned flat, you can spin them on a flat surface like a TOP!
It’s look like stamped from thin copper plate. Edges are rounded, and aren’t flat as KawiBoy1428 said. If compared to other top quality like Noctigon it seems to be very weak.
But for this price I think we didn’t get more.
