Dale, since you have your M6 out, can you take the SS insert out of the tripod mount and measure the diameter of the hole in the light?

6062

My M6 is always “out”, loaded and ready. :slight_smile:

I made a custom filler for my tripod mount, in the dark the hole and the switch were too similar so I made an aluminum post with a SS 1/4 x 20 screw embedded in it to act as sort of a “trigger” that locates the light in proper orientation. This is screwed in very tight, I’d rather not mess with it as I’m very happy with how it’s fitting. (I’ll have a look, if that screw will come out easily enough I’ll get that measurement)

Edit: results and pics
The screw hole in the M6 head that takes the tripod adapter is 12.5mm x 4.9mm deep.

Here’s the “plug” I made…

And the tail switch addition… I was going for results here, not pretty, so gimme a break :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:


And in moon mode. I’m assuming I wired it somewhat wrong, probably bringing both leads through the set of 3 LED’s in the same direction such that the last one gets less current and in moon it’s such a low amount you can see it, could be wrong, didn’t know anything about all that back when I built this light forever ago.

EditII: Looking at it now, I have no idea why I bothered to attach ground to each screw. One would have sufficed. Duh. It was from 10:00 to 10:40 last night, I was stuffed from eating Mexican Food earlier, ready for bed and in a hurry. Literally got the tail cap part done in less than 10 minutes out on the lathe. Took longer to uncover/cover than to do the hole.

sweet thanks for the pics dale

6064

DB and PD could that hole be used for another switch ?

6065

anything is possible :wink:

6066

Hey Richard do you by chance have any S5 compatible pills you can sell by themselves? Would save buying another host outright hehe.

6067

I'll have to look. I have a few extras from some bad S3 hosts, but I'm not sure if they'll fit in an S5. IIRC the S5 uses the same pill as the S2/S6. I've never tried putting an S3 pill in an S2 so I'll have to check to see.

6068

Hey Richard, any chance the XP-E2 torch on single 20mm Noctigon be available soon? Thanks!

6069

Thanks for reminding me! I thought I had already listed it.

Going to sleep now but I'll get it in the morning.

6070

Richard,

Any updates on stocking the Convoy L2? Thanks.

6071

Question for the morning: :weary: Would you happen to have an ETA for more stock of your Omten 1288 Small Reverse Clicky?

6072

Yes. I am planning on getting them up tonight. I have had them for a while now, but there were some issues that I needed to get taken care of before I could put them up for sale. I finally have a tentative resolution so I can sell them now.

6073

They're up now! Thanks for reminding me.

6074

Thanks a lot guy!!! :expressionless:

(Ordered… :wink: )

6075

Are you the official source for these drivers as complete with firmware? I have not seen them on OshPark, I would like one or 2 of these.

Combining shipping to save me money, calling me out when I obviously ordered the wrong parts, making EVERY order absolutely perfect, nothing missing or mismatched,

you are AWESOME!

Seriously for all the stuff I have ordered from you the odds are completely against you, but somehow you still manage to get everything right. I mean you haven't even miscounted a single piece save sending me an extra 7135 one time.....

thank you!

disclaimer: ***knock on wood***

now how about those stickers haha :)

6077

Unfortunately not for a few weeks, but I will look at my stock and see if I have any extras. I sometimes keep a few for repairs or stock errors. I will make a note and check tonight.

6078

This is great I need to order a couple. How about the dedome service? For some reason it is out of stock.

Thanks Richard!

6079

I'm too busy to do them right now until I get caught back up on some other stuff.

Sorry guys, I thought that I would have a bunch of L2 hosts for you guys. I've had them for two weeks now trying to work out some serious issues with this order. I got some of that stuff worked out, but then today went to take pictures and realized that none of the L2 hosts have driver retaining rings, spacers, screws, etc., so they are expensive paperweights. I hate to say it but if Convoy doesn't make things right this time I may have to stop supporting them because this has been a nightmare.
