Same here after seeing what a XHP70.2 can do…

What can you say about your upcoming cube lights?

Good evening Richard, I am about to place an order for several XPL Hi Leds and a VT6 battery, Do you have XHP70.2 LED on order? if so What tint and bin? Looking for a 1A tint in the highest bin available…

Thanks!

Not to take any business away from RMM but Digikey has the XHP70.2 P2s in stock now.

Thanks for the link djburkes, by any chance do you know which of the E2 tints (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) are they shipping?

I’m really not too sure on how to decipher the bins…here’s the link to what they have in stock.

Alex, that’s exactly why I don’t buy emitters from digikey or Mouser, they sell a group bin and you can’t ever rely on what you’re going to end up with.

Where do you usually buy yours from? Trying to figure out the bins gives me a headache…

I get mine from digikey, I just order the easywhite bins, they are all within a macadams ellipse, so you at least know a range it will fall in. All the different color bins are too much for me to worry about, so far I haven’t gotten anything I didn’t like.

I ordered 3 5700k N4s the other day and put one in a MT07 and did a resistor mod…turned out nicely.

I buy emitters from Richard, or Cutter, or LEDDNA and occasionally from Intl Outdoors. Probably won’t be buying from Cutter though, everything just got out of hand on that end.

No, they do not sell group bins.
The part number describes exactly what bin it is.
XHP70B-00-0000-0D0BP250E-ND
for example, this is LED is chromacity group 50E, min flux group P2, CRI group B (70 cri), etc etc etc

All you have do to is read the data sheet and scroll down to page 22.

Or you can literally just sort by lumen output or CRI or whatever spec you want directly on the digikey/mouser website by clicking the top of a column.

For non 3 or 5 step easywhite leds 50E is group tint which can contains any from A/B/C/D tint with fixed color temperature.

Richard, any chance you might get some of the black E2L Jaxman hosts?

What’s the narrowest/thinnest 26650 cell available?

I got a couple of cheap flashlights in “blunderbuss” style (7-emitters, 3-cells) that are bored out just too narrow to accept my EVVA cells (the shrinkwrap would peel off if I forced the cells into the tube).
They bundled 18650 cells in those plastic sleeve carrier things, which fit the tube loosely. But I’d rather use the larger diameter cells if I can find some that fit.

See if 4 regular C cells would fit.

I’ve got a 2×C light that I hoped I could stuff a 26650 into (with spacer). Nope, juuuust a little too snug.

So 3 18650s with sleeves might roughly equal 4 C cells.

Purchased a Convoy C8 Flashlight Host - Clear Anodized from RMM on 06/13/2017. Very nice host. Accepts all my protected 18650 batteries with no problem. I recommended this host.

Maybe Basen 4500mAh . 26.2mm max diameter

Regular “c” alkalines do fit, with some space around them.
Looks (lacking a caliper) like 26.5mm bore diameter.
Thanks for the suggestion of the Basens.

The new quad board is a great improvement over the Tpad board. I was curious and had to order it and put it into one of my P60 pills. The beam is round and i think it throws much better as well.

No regrets! I bought a P60 from Vinh awhile back and I now have to take that apart and reflow the LEDs to the new board. Will order more in a bit.
