Batch run: copper s2+ triple heatsinks, retaining ring style. [COMPLETED]

[SeniorXJ]

Are you still making these copper pills for the convoy s2+? If so, I want one!!

[Matchoo]

I too would love one of these! Please make some more.

Thanks for all the kind words and interest from everyone in this thread. Seeing it revived is touching. My current plan is to build complete flashlights and hosts. You will be seeing my work shortly. :+1:

Hey Hoop, so happy to see you back here. I still have a single and a triple of yours waiting for just the right light. I’ve been thinking of a copper S2+ host lately just to make it pure.

Occasionally I get them out just to marvel at the craftsmanship and to remind myself that they need to be put to good use. Very much looking forward to see what you come up with next.

Cheers

Interesting.
Are you both the designer and the maker or just the maker?

He is the designer and the maker:

Uh oh. Cats out of the bag haha. I’ll make a post about my company and the light later today. :partying_face:

Yes, it was not too obvious at 1st glance.

First off, both the manufacturer of the light and you were based Spokane WA. That was the 1st clue.

Second, you wrote that you were using a FET+1 driver based off of an Atiny controller. That was the 2nd clue, and the proof that the manufacturer was on BLF.

Third, I saw something interesting. You wrote about using silver-plated BeCu springs. I then searched for BeCu springs on BLF, which yielded mostly my thread results, and then I saw this post specifically mentioning Beryllium Copper springs:

Yep! I am finishing up a batch of like… ~1400 parts not related to flashlights, but I should be done within a couple of days and then it’s onto heatsinks for a while. The Octo-sink for D mag’s is coming very soon. I just ordered $80 worth of hardware from mcmaster to make them happen, and to make prototype battery carriers happen as well. I think I will do a group buy at a discounted price in order to kickstart the first batch run of the Octo-sink. The design is finalized and has been physicall…

I then connected the dots, and realized that it was actually you who started the Kickstarter

Nice light BTW. I would have loved it if you could use a boost driver though for NiMH compatibility. Although there are not available boost drivers in the BLF variety.

[Hoop]

That’s good detective work right there. :+1:

[teacher]

/\ … Sure is. . :+1:

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

And I thank you for that Detective work, but my wallet does not!

Thanks Hoop, very much looking forward to lighting up the darkside.
