I decided to finally get my first Solarforce after a few Surefires. I would like to get a nice nichia 219 P60 dropin, but haven’t found any custom builders other than Nailbender and Vinhnguyen on the “other forum”. I am trying to set up my first “budget” light, but their prices are not int the same spirit:) Could you guys direct me to some other P60 builders? I have heard about MrJones, but i don’t know when he’ll make another run, and some other gentleman from the States, who’s currently having a rough time because of the illness…
Any help would be highly appreciated!
I apologize if i wasn’t clear enough:)
I would like to buy already made multimode nichia 219 drop-in. After calculating shipping cost for all the needed parts it doesn’t pay off to build it by myself…
Yea, E1320 is the one who makes them, but he ceased building them because of the illness. Thank you for the link but i can’t open it since i’m not member there…
Can you please give me more details about dropins made by LPS? If it costs around 25€ and has low med and high levels, it’s very good deal!
And i’ll also check IS, i have very good experiences with them!
LEDs, optics and driver will cost you 34.79 shipped at IS. You buy these, send me a host with all the other stuff, and I’ll make you a perfect drop-in. The idea is to turn down inside of the tube to remove ano and make a pill that fits tightly in the tube so the heat path is nearly perfect. No other off the shelf product will fit like this
I'd go for the "really cool dropin" and take up on Toasters offer. Thats pretty much a one-time-opportunity and something like the above linked EDC+/IS dropin, just fitted for your host (and cheaper^^).
It’s the “really cool dropin” I had in my mind all the time, so the parts are those, like NightCrawl suggested and I’ve already calculated the price for you in my previous post. Additional costs are 3x10507 optics, while you’re at it.
And it’s a great drop in, very well made and the light output is superb. The lo mode is almost night light low, 6 lumens I believe they said, it’s pretty cool. Med mode is good for most things as Hi is almost too much. I use mine in a Solarforce L2P for taking Macro pictures. I got it when they had the coupon discount , think it was $64. Very well built drop in designed in conjunction with mattaus who does great drop-in and driver work himself.
How do you get a 20mm triple nichia star to fit a P60 drop-in? I wouldn’t mind trying to build a triple P60 for my Solarforce P1D, but need counseling on the proper arrangement and parts.
Please send me a PM with required parts and additional cost for your lathe work.
