That was indeed what I was hinting at :-) . The optic that fits that board is the Ledil Cute optic, which is 35mm diameter. It could be shaved to 32mm of course, but you will loose some beam quality and a bit of output.
sinner has a thread about a new host that he’s making and might offer, and I’ve posted over there about possibility of using his host with the quad setup:
Anything with an attiny13 MCU can be flashed with momentary firmware. The BLF-17/20/22s will do 8.5-9A from a single 20R/25R/VTC5 into 3 parallel XPG2s, with 4 LEDs I'd guess that would go up to 10-11A.
By now many of you have probably seen my quad RGBW A6’s
Notice all the extra wiring? Think wiring one of these for series is a lot? Try wiring them individually addressable.
Has anyone found any other suitable clicky switch hosts for these? What I don’t want is empty space around the optic.
Also I’m using a 35mm cute in both my new EA41 builds (one the production version of pukelight, the other a white only (using a boosted factory driver) triple I’ll be calling the EA41_ck.
Note all of these lights (plus the quad SC02_MELD’s I’m doing) all require custom spacers, the optics are shorter (some by quite a bit) than the factory reflectors*
*i was able to shorten the A6’s instead of building a spacer/new pill.
Also is that host in your pic an A6? I have an A6 coming but it is taking FOREVER from farfarled!
EDIT: If you meant/were referring to the RC-G2, I used about a 1/2” length of 1/2” copper coupler (ala ImA4Whlr) to “extend” the original RC-G2 pill and push the quad emitter about 1/2” forward, toward the front (Caveat: It’s in the light already, and I am terrible at ‘eye-balling’ distances, so take that 1/2” with a grain of salt. Basically, the coupler is the difference in the height of the quad board+Carclo optic vs. the original RC-G2 reflector.).
Mine came from the same FarfarLED guy on DHGate in about 14 days to the midwest. I have an outstanding order from them for more, only at 9 days tho so hopefully they made it to US before this week.
