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

Now I’m in need of the full copper pill for the convoy S2+ and the heatsink for the convoy C8. Can you let me know a time frame that they will be ready by?

Triple pills for S2+ wont be available for at least one more month.
C8TT sets are in stock. Spacers for C8 mod will be available from led4power website soon (together with optics, pcbs, leds, drivers etc.) soon.

Following up on this. I ordered a CUTE-4 ~20° medium optic (C10447_CUTE-4-M) instead of the smooth spot ~12° and it got rid of my donut problem entirely. I imagine LED4Power still recommends CUTE3 for dedomed LEDs but this is good if you must have CUTE4. Definitely one of my favorite builds so far.

Are you making the spacers for the C8 mod? Is it going to be copper? Also more interested in a Sofirn C8F 21700 kit since with 6 LEDs, it makes more sense to go with 21700 batteries.

No, no and no.
For sure I will make any part if I see good demand.
But now all this custom 1-2-3pcs orders just cause problems. Sometimes I agree to make a custom part to satisfy a regular buyer, sometimes it causes big delays that is not good for anyone.
CNC made parts - this is what I can provide as good deal. I dont worry about quality and metall stocks (just use full bar and forget about it), you enjoy quality/price ratio.

S2+ single pills are ready.
They have slightly non-standart design (I was not 100% satisfied with current design custom rings, have developed new version that required pill changes) with deeper retaining ring thread. New rings are not ready yet, but you can use them with regular convoy rings or previous custom rings. Havent checked yet but I suppose even convoy rings will allow using 2-side 7135 drivers.

PM sent!

How the hell are you getting 28+Amps on a single 18650 light?

Bypassed everything plus super low vf LED. Each emitter is 4 dies so basically 16 LED. And of course you must use the highest drain 18650s (vtc5a, 20s, 25s, etc)

kiriba-ru,
Well, I don’t think there will be enough interest to make it viable, but I’ll express mine anyway:
I’d like a nice pill for Astrolux A01.

What are you planning to do with the A01? I have one, so if it’s interesting, I might want to get a pill too. :wink:

Planning is a too big word…
I have a copper A01 BLF edition. It is “that dim light”. Dim, heavy, not my taste at all. But a hefty copper host….would make a fine hot rod.
I’m contemplating 2 builds.
One that is tempting but too impractical: XHP50.2 K2 3C + 2*10250 Nukes + QTC.
The other that I might actually attempt: LH351D + 10440 + QTC.

Or maybe even less practical. May not fit. XHP50.2 6v+3s10180

I’m pretty sure neither the 2x 10250 nor the 3x 10180 will fit. Unless you know something that I don’t. :question:

EDIT: I wonder what it would be like if you put the OSRAM KW CSLNM1.TG “white flat” emitter in there. It’s a 3V emitter, and the current “throw king” according to the testing.

Dunno maybe it wouldn’t. But the stock driver is very thick. And I have a similar construction by CRX in a Thrunite host, so that was an obvious inspiration. 3s 10160 is an option too. :wink:

White Flat would need a SMO reflector to really perfofm. And bezel is quite thick. Though low Vf is interesting. Anyway, not for me, I want a pee light, ideally with 1000+ lm. :wink:

Just received two Copper P60 Quad shells. Excellent quality as always, awaiting parts to build with.

Yeah, dunno if I mentioned this when I got ’em, but the pills for S2+ triples came in perfectly, nice sturdy box to hold everything, and shiny! :laughing:

Just received my S2+ copper pills. Thanks!

Hi Kirill, do you offer Convoy C8/C8+ retaining rings?
