Suitable hosts for 24mm quad optics.

Looking for suitable hosts for 24mm quad optics. Preferably without much modifications.

Quad mcpcb is 20mm. Quad optics are 24mm.

ZY-T11 (pictured below) is good with a 22,6mm head opening. Id guess openings around 22 to 23,5 are ideal??

Djozz posted this picture here. Fits Supfire A6-T6 nicely too.

Anyone else that's got nice options for epic handburners bright small flashlights?

How wide is the Ultrafire F13?

Duh, broke out digital calipers…glass is 36.82mm, reflector OD is 36.78mm

That is a REAL nice setup you got there with the quad!

lol yeah.. Head opening in F13 is more than 33mm.

P60s are usually around 24,9mm, give or take. So the head opening needs to be smaller than those if you want a simple and nice fit. Not larger than P60 sized.

Hi,

If I might ask: Where’d you get the star and the lens?

Thanks,
Jim

The star is custom made by member Dsche. He has a thread about it: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/22412

The optic is a Carclo optic, available in many places, bought mine at Conrad.nl

Racer: I have of course looked around for hosts too, there's not many, another host that I l found (and bought) is the Fandyfire P03. I'm on my phone now, I will post some dimensions tonight.

Wow, I was wondering the same thing with those quad MCPCB’s. I was hoping to find a way to get the lens into something smaller in diameter than a Solarforce /P60 format. Needless to say I’ll be following this thread.

I found this I hope it has a momentary switch! Then it could use the STAR firmware with strobe and other niceties. Quad XPG2, FET driver with STAR firmware, 26650 battery. Would make a nice camp light.

That looked so nice, then boom, non anodized tailcap threads.

Comfychair has a post showing how to make an adapter ring to fit smaller optics into bigger heads. It should be doable with a drill press. I have a milling bit in the mail, so I'll be giving that a try soon.

Solarstorm/Fandyfire SC02 (don't have one but the size is right). It has an electronic switch so it needs a suitable driver.

Indeed! Size is very right. 22,5mm head opening..

Just look at it.

I forgot I had that light when looking for suitable lights. This light needs a quad rebuild!

On the UF-T50 & 'PH-08' clones, the bezel thread ID is 26.3mm, bezel front opening is 23mm.

Roche F6 uses a 24mm lens. The bezel opening is small (~20mm) though that can be enlarged. Great quality on those as a host. Not much space in the driver compartment, it would have to use the stock driver or a dedicated redesign of the BLF-20DD.

Helios has a F6 OSHPark driver in the works…

I don’t think it’s “in the works” so much as “waiting for a crash dummy volunteer to test it”. :wink:

anybody have a link to comfychair’s honing down of an optic?

Suitable host for a 35mm triple optic? :-)

Do you mean post #23 in your thread here: Recommend a bench top drill press ?

Or here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/25551#comment-557387

I’m losing my mind, Wight! Thanks, Comfychair, I am subscribed to that one you posted as well. They say the mind is the second thing to go. Now if I could just remember what was first to go…

or 32mm :slight_smile: ?
