Can anyone tell me the height of the quadoptic + the mpcb is?
Rebel quads are 23mm: http://www.luxeonstar.com/sinkpad-23mm-quad-leds
and Rebel um heptas, 7 emitters, are 40mm ….
That is diameter, I want to know height.
7.5mm from bottom of MCPCB to top of optic
Thanks, I wanted to start my work on a vinh-esque p60 drop in before the parts arrive
Do you mean for the RC-G2?
Also is that host in your pic an A6? I have an A6 coming but it is taking FOREVER from farfarled!
EDIT: If you meant/were referring to the RC-G2, I used about a 1/2” length of 1/2” copper coupler (ala ImA4Whlr) to “extend” the original RC-G2 pill and push the quad emitter about 1/2” forward, toward the front (Caveat: It’s in the light already, and I am terrible at ‘eye-balling’ distances, so take that 1/2” with a grain of salt. Basically, the coupler is the difference in the height of the quad board+Carclo optic vs. the original RC-G2 reflector.).
CK's pic is an A6 - that's what he's been working on/with.
Hi Tom,
Maybe if the one I ordered would actually get here, I would’ve known that :)!!! Just kidding :)!!
Mine came from the same FarfarLED guy on DHGate in about 14 days to the midwest. I have an outstanding order from them for more, only at 9 days tho so hopefully they made it to US before this week.
Maybe it is possible fit in the Tiny 26650
but I dont know if the driver works with 4 LEDs. …
If your gonna do that no reason not to use the LEDIL cute quad optic. After seeing the MT swap just posted I’m sure it would work with 4 emitters wires 2s2p for 6v total.
I must’ve lost on the shipping lottery, because mine has been stuck in Guangzhou since 9/20/2014 (coming, hopefully, eventually to the east coast U.S.).
Good point. That makes it a pretty mild boost, which might be easier on the driver (I do not know). Potentially a person could maintain the advantage of the boost driver (consistent output) while getting better efficiency… I’d guestimate that efficiency might improve by 1–4 when compared to 3s1p.
New host I’ll be using (I’ll be doing another RGBW MELD light with the charger port filled with a 5mm UV LED)
Ultrafire AT-008
Can you post some more detailed pics of the inside of the head of that at-008? It is giving be some ideas.
I know it is a very-low budget light, but hey, that quad optic looks great in there!!
Interesting stuff Cereal_killer, thanks for the pointer. Will it be a high-end 5mm UV LED?
Serifus, I hadn’t heard of the light before Cereal_killer brought it up but it looks like there’s some good pics around here:
- kronological’s “Review: UltraFire AT-008” thread
- TexasToasted’s post #23 over here shows the view straight through the empty head :-/
This thing really kind of looks like a winner as an 18650 quad host…!
FYI head is completely hollow.
I had seen that, I was just wondering if making a solid pill for it would be within my means or not. The lathe I have access to can not do threads.
Yes that wouldn’t be a problem, could even make it out of copper disks stacked and solderer together. No threading needed.
