Thanks Linus.
I’ve been looking for a 3x18650 soupcan for a while just to see if my idea for a series conversion would work. I also have scads of 4P lights, and needed the change.
I plan to install a 7A buck driver for no other reason than I’ve never run a single XM-L2 over 5A before. I don’t know what will happen. It seems like a waste of space just having a single board driver in that big cavity.
I’m in the middle of redesigning the heat sinking on the pill. I’ll be posting the build and photos in the OP.
I did order an LD-36 driver. I also ordered another COURUI (in case I wrecked this one), so it may go in that one. I’d install another tail switch just for easy lockout.
Thanks for the bit link. I’ll be seriously looking at them. I guess you have to keep stopping the drill to take measurements. I also took notice of that reflector you installed in your COURUI and ordered a couple.
Yeah I actually had one without the stepping so I just drilled until I got to the right size, the steps should be known diameters so that should actually be easier. I think what helps is the cuts are gradual and the previous step acts as a centering hole for the next cut. They’re also perfectly round except for where the cutting edge is recessed so I’m sure that also helps avoid wandering compared to helical drills.
You mean the acrylic lens right? I’m still really impressed with mine so hopefully you will be too, no scratches yet either !
i wish mine will get here all ready its been over 4+ weeks from KD, if i go this route like Ouchyfoot did i will not use the rubber boot, ill have a little piece of aluminum machined to fit the hole ?
true luck there it took one of mine 41/2 weeks and still waiting on my other
judco switch 10 amps >)
!!
how thick the button it
!!
and how far it sticks out as shown on the right
!!
Also im going to the harware store and im getting a stainless steel washer and im going to place it around the click switch to cover up the little hole showing
that im not there yet but by the looks of it i should have around 12-15mm of space, but im working on a driver i might use sorry no pics/info on that yet
EDIT: my copper slug will be 34mm wide and around the same long and will be machined at the end for the driver
