Re: Tri Conversion pills for Mac's XML/SST-50 EDC lights

Lots needed. :) I've got about 10 interested, I figured I would get 20 to get moving, but I think to make it a low enough price per piece, may need 200. I've talked to 2 people already about making them, but still have a couple more to talk to...

200 is a little ambitious, don't you think? Even after 9 months, there were still only ~80 people interested in replacement retention rings and that included all Tri-EDC, Knurly EDC, SST-50 EDC, and XM-L EDC owners. You may want to take that into consideration. Just my 0.02...

Thanks for taking this project on. :thumbsup:

Yeah, it's too many, so now my brain is thinking about it being the basis for a new light...

for potential counts, I've got 12 units of interest for the tri-conversion and one unit of interest for a normal tri pill.
machine shop got the material figured out, but still working out the details for the machine work.

Tellurium Copper is going to be the material quoted.

4 conversion pills?

Oh I see, I misread it completely. I thought its a light engine for Tri-EDC. I don't have any SST so none for me at the moment :)

and we have confirmation that the triple conversion works in a Copper XML-EDC as expected...

and just for kicks I put the XML pill into the EN plated SST 16340 body, and all worked as expected...

I will definitely be interested in a Tri EDC one! I'm looking for a programmable one in copper if that is possible.

general question to those interested. are you looking for an empty heat sink or a ready to install complete pill?

and regular TRI-EDC fit or tri-conversion for EDC?
