I have asked Mattaus if it was ok that I made these, he gave me the ok, they differ slightly from his. I had originally planned for a solarforce only type of shell, Matts design was universally best so I went with that.
These are the same dimensions as Matts’ shells.
These are for triples ie. 20mm carclo optics and 20mm noctigon, or similar thickness MCPCB.
17mm driver hole with recess for potting components.
These do not have a ground threaded hole and screw.
These have a small divot to allow you to solder a wire for a ground.
No large outer spring included.
Cnc machined in a professional shop.
These are being made for me. I’m offering here because I know some people missed out on Matts.
These are for the shells only. Complete made to order triple dropins will be available in a few weeks on my thread.
40 are available.
There’s a possibility I’ll have more made. If this happens it’ll be a bit cheaper through the company I’m using and silver plating may be a possibility. Or reduced prices.
It’s expensive here, to silver plate, because of the flat rate.
Price will be40USD for one, and30USDfor any additional. Extra for tracking number. Paypal only please. Pm for paypal info.
All packages sent via small packet air through Canada Post. 6-10 day delivery.

Immediate paypal will be shipped the next day.
This will be added to another forum soon.
Thanks for looking, feel free to ask questions or comment.
I’ve been looking at these for a while now, and been thinking if I should add one of these to the ‘collection’. I have Solarforce L2, N, T, and P and was wondering how well these would work in those lights. I know very little about these copper drop ins and their performance. How much better are they? Is it just esthetics?
These dropin shells will fit all of those hosts and many many more. They are pretty universal.
If you plan on running a dropin at full power, 6-9 or more amps These are amazing. At conservative power levels there’s not much out there that will beat solid copper.
There is very little thermal sag and the led stays cooler longer.
You will still have to add a small piece of foil to the biggest part of the dropin for a snug fit.
I ran a nichia 219b triple in my hand at 4.5 amps for over 5 minutes and the shell was getting warm but not by any means hot.
In my opinion these are the cats ass for triples. At least high powered triples. They also fit everything needed perfectly.
(edit) I was wondering the same things when I first ordered the others from mattaus. Once they arrived I knew I needed to have more.
Hi everyone, I’ve been crazy busy with work, sickness and a very late spring (still isn’t here)
I’ve had these almost two weeks and if there’s still interested people I have 40 available.
If you’d like completed triples I’ll be updating my p60 build thread in the coming weeks. I’ve got a couple of projects I’m working on right now so the dropin factory will remain closed for a bit longer.
I’ll like to order 4 of your copper P60 shells. Is the price still the same as the previous batch at $40 for the first one and $30 each after the first?
