Unfortunately not. The D4 does NOT use Narsil. It uses its own special firmware that is similar to and or based on Narsil. The D4 does NOT have memory.
Nope. I am not going to be buying any more products from Cutter. After what happened with several of my closest BLF friends and me personally I am through. I am not going to get into the details, but I am choosing not to do business with them.
I need to do a final look and make sure I don't have any hanging around anywhere, but I am not purchasing more.
Unfortunate to hear, but I do understand. Best way to show approval or not of a company’s business practices is to vote with your wallet. Which is coincidentally why I keep coming back to MTN.
If that’s the case, any plans to build your own 32mm XML triple, now that you have a manufacturer for copper MCPCBs with your quad boards? Personally I wouldn’t mind seeing all MTN branded MCPCBs in the future, your quad board is the best I’ve seen.
If you do happen to find more of the T-Pad boards laying around, I’ll take a couple of them.
Richard is there such thing as as triple XHP70? Does Carlco make optics for this kind of thing?
I feel like I’d pay a lot of money for an L6 with three XHP70(.2)’s on a few pounds of copper, the 30mm FET+7135 Driver - 2S Momentary - Convoy L6 and an optic… kind of like a really big S2 triple.
I don’t believe that has been done before, but I see no reason it couldn’t be done if a suitable optic is found.
Kaidomain sells some 50mm triple optics which are the biggest I have found. An XHP70 dome would likely fit in them. I happened to order one today to experiment with a triple D-cell maglite, so I will report back in a few weeks when it arrives.
I know something about it. 3 lbs of copper under 3 50.2’s still allows it to get hot pretty fast. 12,000 lumens does that. Khatod makes an optic that will fit over the XHP-50.2, so if you can get the mcpcb under them you’ll be seeing 10,000 lumens and then some from a C8 using a pair of dark purple Efest 18350’s. The Aspire cells will last a bit longer but not produce quite the lumens. An extension tube with 18650’s will do something like 14,000 lumens, and this is just the 50.2. But of course, heat is a big factor and for most people the weight is also more than they care to deal with.
Going big brings in heat problems like a big dog, so without active cooling even several pounds of copper isn’t really sufficient.
What khatod optic did you use in that C8? I was going to do my triple 50.2 C8 with a Ledil CUTE-3-SS and shaved domes, but if I can avoid shaving the dome that’s even better.
I didn’t make a C8, yet, but I made an X6. Still a 35mm optic, will have to find the number on it again…. I had that one here for a few years before using it.
Pretty fun, 10,000 lumens in a X6! Not all that practical, even with a taller copper sink (the Khatod is shorter than the CUTE-3)
Lumens, big ones, and run times…. difficult to combine the two. Cells die, takes a lot of current to get the output. I tested my TR-J20 with 4 of the 9V MT-G2 emitters on level 4 of 7, looking to see how long it would stay above 4,000 lumens. I think it ran like 36 minutes, pulling down the 3 big 6000mAh 32650’s even at half what you’re asking. I’ve got it heat sinked in a big way, so heat was there but not quite a problem. More, like the next level, and it probably would have gotten too hot to touch.
Sorry, no plans for a triple 32mm XM MCPCB. To make it cost efficient, you really need to produce hundreds---if not a thousand. I've only sold a few dozen in a year and a half.
