Everyone that’s getting a Triple should give Hank at Intl-Outdoor a big Thank You as he had a second run of the 32mm Noctigons made so we could do this. Without these boards, these little bada$$es wouldn’t be happening.
I think I read somewhere that someone contacted the seller and had them reflow some LED’s onto that board for a fee, but I can’t remember where I read that. You can try contacting Hank at intl-outdoor, or I’m sure Richard at mtn electronics would do it too
The 20mm mcpcb’s will work in the quad, but are the 20mm triple optics the same height and diameter as the quad’s are?
edit: The quad optics are 24mm at the top, and these triple optics are only 20mm, so you would have to add a spacer or something to get that to work (not sure why anyone would want to do that anyway)
That was me, i asked Hank to reflow 3 XP-L V6 3D in the right set up for the triple optics build on the xp 32 noctigon, and he was very nice to do it for free.
I actually had an XP-L not make contact in a reflow to a 20mm Noctigon yesterday. Put the light together (X6) and it wouldn’t work. I’ve re-flowed hundreds now and that hasn’t happened in forever!
Got in a hurry and didn’t let the plate heat up good. The smaller emitters don’t weigh enough to seat em down onto the star when the solder doesn’t flow quickly. And I’ve found that pushing them down can get them off center and cause a short between the thermal pad and connection with overflow under the emitter.
Just goes to show, with this game…it’s always something!
