*****Eagle Eye X6 heatsinks ******CLOSED RUN #3 STARTED

With plastic lenses a lot depends on how you care for them and how much you care about them. They will scratch and wear more than glass if tossed around but are less prone to cracking. The weakness in these particular optics is in the legs which can snap off, mostly from shearing forces when installing or removing the bezel. That said, I still like the cute –3 over every other multi emitter optic I’ve tried in the past 7-8 years. 35mm(MR-11) may or may not be as ubiquitous as p60’s (closer if you include older bike light designs using MR-11 halogens) but it’s certainly a well tested platform size even before the X-6 came along. Cutter has been marketing a DIY bike light using them for years. I guess I come down on the side of the fence where putting a glass lens(no matter how clear)in front of an optic is redundant. A reflector absolutely must be protected since it cannot be safely cleaned whereas an optic while never again being as good as new can easily be re polished without removing any coatings.

If you build it they will come.

I'm in for probably 3, described with raising the height, I'm fine with that. Not sure yet for copper or alum, or combo.

I’m in for a copper one. Thanks

Ciao

I’m in for 1 definitely (maaaybe two, but don’t quote me on it)… not picky on copper or aluminum. (Preferably whichever is cheaper; i have too many flashlight projects that are sucking up my money hahaha). I like the raised height idea.

Ally cheaper, lighter, and the benefits of copper I believe outside the MCPCB have shown little gain? IIRC, copper can absorb more heat, but ally sheds the heat better?

But Id be down with whichever too.

I’d be interested in 1-3 aluminum depending on price.

The price for the copper is still the same, as for the aluminum it might be $1-2 more i should no soon when my mechanist gets back with me

Prices can be located in the OP LINK

2nd post updated with interest members

I’m in for 1 or 2 in Al.

2 Al

I’d be in for two as I missed out on the 1st run. Ta.

Aluminium would be fine.

2 Alu.

Are you planning on selling these as whole kits again? Optics, emitters, spacer, driver…

I kinda just did that for the Guys out of the USA and i got stuck with lots of extra parts lol so i would just stick with the HS for now sorry

No better way to get rid of extra parts is to sell them as kits to guys in the USA :bigsmile:

Not trying to peer pressure you into taking on extra work… it was much easier for me to just buy everything from one person (you) as a “kit” ya know…

Edit: I’m still in for a solid 1… but definitely not two. Thanks!

I’m with Yourrid as to taking no preference in material, as long as the Al isn’t more than/as much as the Cu.

No they will not be more than copper.

up^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am interested in two pieces of Aluminium (without the stock glas lens) if its possible to ship to germany.
Whats the price for two with shipping to germany?

It fits the X6 with this MCPCB http://intl-outdoor.com/noctigon-xp32-advanced-direct-thermal-path-copper-mcpcb-2pcs-p-808.html and this optic http://intl-outdoor.com/ledil-cute3ss-triple-led-optic-lens-p-851.html , isnt It?
