Sold/Expired TNT P60 TripLED Surefire C2, 6P, Z2 high-power custom made hybrid modules/drop-ins...

My thought behind having one made without programmable ui is I'm worried it could be switched or enter a programing mode when I don't want it to. I would be wearing this on my belt in a bezel down holster an it could be accidentally switched. I guess I could run a shrouded tailcap to prevent any accidental presses.

Simple and less complicated firmware with High/Low is possible, yes and it does provide ease of mind that you don't have to worry about accidentally entering programming mode... In theory it is possible to engage programming mode but in practice, it requires 8 fast taps to enter blinking (which serves as cell monitor at the same time, showing approx voltage left in cell under load - thus giving approx capacity left)...

But even then I'd recommend 3-modes, especially as you're going with High/Med/Low... consider it Turbo/High/Low as Turbo is up to 2 minutes runtime (depending on host/bezel), Medium and Low modes that are safe to use until cell depleted...

Shrouded tailcap is one way to go... the reason why I love Surefire tailcaps is anodization on threads so when used with any P60 body it provides lock-out feat, unscrew tailcap just a bit and you're safe that there will be no accidental activation - I recommend doing lock-out with all hot-rodded Surefires of mine...

Thank you for the great explanation, it does sound pretty difficult to enter programming mode accidentally. I sounds like I'm over thinking it, I'll be sending you some money when payday rolls around. This drop in is absolutely beautiful and will look great in my C2 (bored for 18650s of course).

I'll take a P60 with Nachia 219 at 4.5 amps with light blue GITD powder.

 

[mk2rocco]

Anyone have beam shots of this drop in an open area?
There is only one picture in this whole thread!

 

[Tana]

These can give some idea of what to expect... TripLED in incan e-series bezels are in 95% cases at 3 Amps so 4.5A is about 25% brighter (approx)...

Also, 219B gives slightly wider hotspot than XPG2 which in turn is more rounded and prettier but less throwy...

Well... if you just go thru that thread, I'm sure there's more... the thread is quite long now... It's been over two years since it started...

 

[mk2rocco]

My drop-in arrived today! Craftsmanship is top notch, can't wait till the rest of my parts are in so I can try this thing out. I'll be sure to report back here when I do [emoji6]

Looks like he is using the lucidrv/ft firmware now, I'm definitely a fan of that. Do you guys know if this version has the double tap feature?

 

[mk2rocco]

And a shot of the blue GITD powder, a very cool touch.

 

[Tana]

Nope, no double-tap here... only on shooting range...

 

[mk2rocco]

Ha, no problem. I'll be sure to get some beamshots up once my 18650s come in.

 

[mk2rocco]

I'm worried, my buddy popped my drop-in into to 6P to see how it compared to his Malkoff 219. He ran it on 2 primaries for about 20 seconds or so till I caught what was going on, do you think any damage was do? I would hate to have ruined such a beautiful hand made drop-in before it was really used.

I'm having a deja vu... I thought I received exactly the same PM about 48 hrs ago (and replied)...

Module (driver) is fine but tell your FRIEND not to mess with hot-rods any more...

 

[mk2rocco]

I'll give him some stock surefires to play with [emoji13] , I was so worried!

 

[mk2rocco]

I'm still waiting on my C2 body but this will do in the meantime. [emoji4]

 

[nfetterly]

That will do VERY nicely - I have one similar with trit slots, running a VanisleDSM 5.6A Quad.....

 

[mk2rocco]

Tana,

Do you think of of the 3amp drop-ins set up for a 3v could fit in a VME head from Malkoff?

VME is perfect for Malkoff modules but not really for triple configs (or custom P60 modules using regular reflector/pills combos)... some light will get blocked by narrower hole on VME and as for fit - no idea... probably not... I wouldn't go that route...

 

[mk2rocco]

Didn't think about that. Thanks for the info, I guess I should look into finding an incan E series head for you to modify [emoji4]

 

[Father Azmodius]

Nothing for 2 cells? Your work looks so pretty I want one in the FM 2x26650 copper head i just got

Gotta work on ur three round bursts buddy. Two in the chest and one in the head! Don't want the bad guys shooting u in the back when you're walking away [emoji6]
