Is there a newer? If so, I didnt find it..

No hurry, but thanks. :D

38

I can't find it on the new KD I go back to the old KD it's there but the new KD does not show it. They must have discontinued it, sorry. I have to find a way to order more, so I will have to figure this out.

Something like that?

40

Yes perfect the one dollar plastic thin ones work great you can doubke them up if you need to one on the reflector and one over the emitter. The hardened teflon ones can be problematic when trying to focus your reflector because they are so thick so I usually avoid them but they can be useful.

41

Alright. Do you have any experience in mixing different AMCs? Like 4 380s and 1 350?

42

Nope, I have a decent stock of the 350s and since the new board with the 380s has a different micro controller that is not compatible with my programmer I won't be using them until Tido or someone else figures out a way to reprogram the new boards, sorry.

I'll save you the trouble of reflowing, here are some 5Ks ready to go

@E1320

KD seem to have changed the way they index their products, and as such your links to their listings are all broken. Whenever you get the chance, could I impose upon you to update the links? I’d really love to have a go at putting together my own drop-in. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks :slight_smile:

51

Never mind. I stumbled across old.kaidomain.com, which they are obviously keeping up for now. As such I was able to find the SKUs.

“Old” links:

New links:

The Nanjg 105c 2.8 amp driver doesn’t seem to be available anymore (although there are plenty of others), and I couldn’t find the right isolator sheets either. Everything else is below:

http://www.kaidomain.com/product/details.S009877 (cool white XML 1A on 16mm star)

52

The isolators can be found if you search for "isolator" on KD. There are several different ones.

Or maybe these:

http://www.intl-outdoor.com/cree-xml-insulator-gasket-10-pcs-p-463.html

If you need a reflector for every dropin you can use the empty one from KD or maybe this one if you want to choose between smooth and OP:

Sources for LED are numerous.. the Nanjg 105C can be bought at illuminationsupply, intl outdoor, cnqualitygoods..

You can also just buy the pill only:

and the big spring:

and the small spring for the driver:

Generally, you will find almost anything you need on IO, IS, KD or CNQ. :)

Dont forget some thermal glue, solder and probably wires (although most drivers come with wires, sometimes they are crap).

53

Thank you very much for all that NightCrawl. Much appreciated.

I shall now stumble my way through the decision making process, and hopefully emerge with a freshly built P60 drop-in in a couple of weeks or so (which will mostly be waiting time).

54

Thanks Nightcrawl, I’ve been looking all over for those springs. Eric, do you have a list of the flash programs you can implement on the Attiny 13A drivers?

55

Sorry I don’t have a list but if you read Tidos thread I can do any of the shared programs in his thread plus the 5 mode I have.

56

Great, I was unable to download his driver and haven’t gone through the thread to see if there is a list or link elsewhere to one yet but I’m looking for 2 mode groups for a dive light: Lo-Hi and Lo-Beacon(.2Hz, 5 second delay)-SOS. I’d like the second group (emergency modes) accessible but not in the “regular” cycle and less cluttered than stock set ups. Anyone seen anything like this?
