vinhnguyen54 D26/P60 XML-U2 Cool White COPPER PCB 1300 Lumen Drop-In SALE THREAD

[vinhnguyen54]

Sold out!

Next shipment of copper PCB are expected to arrive on Wednesday but I am not certain...

[MoreToasties]

Ah, bummer. If they do indeed arrive on Wednesday I'll take one.

[vinhnguyen54]

Ordered 100 copper pcb on this next shipment. ;-)

[brightspot]

put me on the next list

That sounds more like it.

[vinhnguyen54]

COPPER!!! COPPER!!! COPPER!!!

[MoreToasties]

Does that mean they've arrived? If so, I'll take one plus a McClicky for a Solarforce L2, as we discussed via PM.

All Shallow smooth + Deep pill sold out.

All Shallow smooth + Deep pill sold out.

Was just about to order! Does this mean orders are off for now?

I can do the identical setup but only with Short pill and Deep Smooth/OP. Deep pill and shallow reflector are sold out indefinitely.

Forgive me if I'm asking the obvious, but what will I gain / lose with the short pill and deep smooth over the deep pill and shallow reflector please?

[mikesantor]

Deeper reflector = more throw but shallow pill = less solder fill/ heat sinking.

Deep pill has more solder fill so it helps out a bit with heat sinking. The Shallow smooth that goes with it provide a very wide beam not found in typical P60 reflectors. I particularly really enjoy a wide spill beam.

[tobrien]

do you have a comparison shot of the deep modules vs. shallow? I'm not sure which to get, but I'm leaning towards deep honestly (I tend to be a fan of OP)

[vinhnguyen54]

Shallow are SOLD OUT indefinitely :-(. Light OP makes the best beam profile. P60 are never meant for throw really...

so is the light OP the deep one?

I have all deep reflectors in OP, Light OP, and smooth left.

thank you. I'll be picking up a light op, deep module this friday then i hope!

I got one last 1300 lumen deep pill with shallow smooth reflector left. If you do not prefer the shallow smooth I could fit a Light OP on it but this would beam a longer drop in so you will need a Oring to fill in the gap between the bezel and the body. Let me know if you are interested.

Hi, I have a quick question.
Since the star is copper, can't you just solder the star to the brass pill? It sounds like you are using arctic alumina or arctic silver.

Soldering the star with LED to the pill requires lots of heat. That would destroy the LED for sure.

If I solder the star onto the pill without the LED then I can't center the LED with the reflector.

If I do mange to center the star in the reflector I still cant flow the LED on top without everything drifting around.

All the extra heat is really no good for me, the led, or centering the LED in the reflector.

Plus I sodler fill my pill. TOo much heat and the solder will flow out.

In short too much heat destroy everything and/or shift everything around and is dangerous for me.

[tobrien]

i got mine yesterday and started playing around with it and WOW!!!


THIS THING IS PERFECT! perfect tint and lots of output (LOP reflector, btw)

thanks a lot vinh! did you get what I sent you, as well?

[vinhnguyen54]

Remember. To wap the drop. Tight. With foil. Love. The sc31 too! :-)

Hi thanks for the response.
I understand that it would be a lot more work and I don't know exactly how you're making your drop-ins and in what order you do things so this may not work out so easily but I would imagine that using a higher temperature lead-free solder like an SnAgCu solder will give you a good ~20C+ temperature window over SnPb 63/37.

Are we talking about the solder used for solder fill?
