Your choice of sinkpads $1.57 each from LCK-Led. These guys are great and ship fast too.
OUT of stock on the XML’s still some XPG ones left.
Thanks, I bought some for XM-L and XP-G.
You’re welcome. I bought a bunch as well. I usually use the noctigons but at this price they are hard to beat and they do work great too.
You guys pretty well destroyed their stock. 
Now there is no XM-L Sinkpads left.. 0:)
Dang it, I just looked at the packaging that my last pads came in from them and they offer a 8% discount as well. The e-bay coupon code is

EDIT coupon doesn’t work with these pads. It might work on other stuff but I don’t know.
After going noctigon its hard to go back. 
I agree Helios-, but occasionally, the height makes a difference. If a stock light have a 2mm thick MCPCB, its better to get as close to that as possible and a Sinkpad are about 0,15mm taller compared to Noctigon. In lights where centering can be a PITA (flat reflector+de-domed emitter). You can more easily use several thinner wires on a Sinkpad too.
And in 20mm XM-L these were also a bit cheaper. So all in all its nice having a few extra. :)
Yep they both have their good points. I am using mine in hard driven multi-emitters. So price is important but I also do not need an extreme thermal pathway like I would if I was pushing them to 6amps each.
Some are going in a 6x with two of the 5amp per drivers that people use in the Shocker mods. I’ll be using 3 Sony green batteries rated at 50amp max. I’m hoping to get 7,500 lumens out of De-domed XM-L2’s. Should be fun to try anyway.
wowser! Couple of mins of blinding beauty 
! I got as high as 5,400+ or so in a Shocker with the domes, so certainly possible.
Maybe these SinkPAD's are the last of the Gen I's?
Good luck 18sixfifty. Let us know how awesome it turns out to be.. ;)
Ill be using the same driver/battery setup myself along with other combinations. I have 5 more of those drivers incoming now on top of the two spares I already have. I plan on doing some multi-emitter extreme power stuff myself next year... ^^
We have yet to see some of the stuff that these drivers can be used for.. J)
It could be the last of the gen1’s I hadn’t thought of that. Has anyone tried the Gen2’s and tested them yet?
Thanks and I’ll let you know. Keep us posted on your’s as well. Sounds like we are going to have some new extreme outputs showing up soon.
Yupp. Ill keep you updated. Mine might not be that soon though...
I know one thing, 2014 should be even bigger and brighter! :beer:
Somewhere I know there is a thread with info on gen 2 sinkpads.
They have no copper pillar. Its not raised up to meet the led’s thermal pad. Instead its a hole filled with solder to bridge the gap. S)

Thread was so easy find, should have tried before posting.
Gen 2 SinkPADs
Ouch, I missed the deal while I was taking exams. :~
Thanks for letting me know that they are gone, I marked it sold out. Sorry you missed it.
No problem, glad BLF members were able to get a great deal.
So the main advantage that the SinkPads have is that they are 0.15mm taller than Noctigons?
Yep that and they have two spots to put wires on so you can run two small wires rather than one heavy wire. This is better because quite often a heavy gauge wire is too large to allow the reflector to sit all the way down. The wire pokes up and hits the reflector so it’s out of focus.
The advantage of the noctigon is that it doesn’t have a small hole on the back side of it. It’s perfectly smooth so that you can lap the emitter to the pill and have no air or extra paste/epoxy between the two that creates a layer of insulation. So in effect the noctigon has a little better thermal pathway, thus you can overdrive the noctigon a little more than you can the sinkpad.
