You can try to contact LEDSupply sale dept and ask to ship you items with First Class… that way your shipping option would be more acceptable $10… also, while you’re at it you can add few Arctic Alumina epoxies to the mix as they appear to be the cheapest at their site plus rather FRESH…
IS has cheap First Class Airmail by default that’s maybe $7 for 2-3 optics (but $2 per optics price)…
Do you have experience in getting something like 7-10 amps or even more with 3 parallel XP-G2s and with stacked 7135s (preferably in a real flashlight)?
With a quick direct connect battery test set-up with 3xXP-G2 I got something like:
Over 6Amps (Pana3400B)
Nearly 8Amps (PanaPD)
A bit over 8Amps (Enerpower26650)
Nearly 9Amps AW IMR 18500
Nearly 10Amps Samsung 20R
None of the available optics would fit with a 16mm MCPCB footprint. Besides, the stack height is so much shorter than with a conventional reflector it needs a custom pill or a custom extension in the pill, you'd still have to build something to raise it even if it were 16mm round.
There are ~35mm OD optics that fit the 20mm base, with a blank outer ring that can be cut down to 26mm for a P60.
Well, that's what happens when you sneak it in on an order of 50 XM-L2's on Noctigons (ordered 9/21). actually I think the order was sent 1st class - came quick, that was the deal. But just 1 or 2 days earlier I got another order from Hank for 20 more XM-L2's (ordered 9/8)....
off topic, but what on earth do you need 70 XM-Ls for?
A friend of mine is going to get one of the XP-G2 3C triples to use in a 20mm Easy2LED housing as a bike light for his coach, I’ll see what he thinks when he fires it up.
Me and Daylighter are splitting them, so I'm in for 40. I've been running low, and I tell you - IOS's prices for the quality is just outstanding - $5 a piece for XM-L2 U2 1A's on Noctigon's in qty 10 and above, Hank gave me a price of $4 for the emitter only in qty 10+, but all he had was XM-L2 U2 1C's bare. Look around at IS, Mouser and DigiKey and it will be $9 minimum with copper star, maybe $7 minimum bare. The XM-L2 U2 1A's are exceptionally rare and I don't know of any other reliable source to get them - Mouser and Digikey don't even list them by tint.
I got 3 Shockers to upgrade, another triple of my own, then I maybe have 2 J18's to upgrade (14 total there), many, many more single LED lights, etc. Actually we wiped him out of the 1A's on 20mm's - I see he's posted out-of-stock.
