    I'm back, and I'm building another Quad P60.

    I should have linked my earlier work in the original post. This was the first quad P60 ever made, as far as I know, using a modified (machined down) khatod optic, before the more efficient carclo became available. The khatod is still a better thrower, but it loses too much overall compared to...

    I'm back, and I'm building another Quad P60.

    Hi Ryan, I currently have a couple working prototypes I've been using and testing for the last couple months. I'm working out the kinks to do an initial production run of 10 units, hoping to have them ready by the end of the year, as long as I don't have any parts sourcing problems. How long are...

    I'm back, and I'm building another Quad P60.

    Hello! It's been a long time, I know. I apologize for leaving abruptly a few years ago, life threw me a couple serious curve balls at once. I'm back on track now though, and I've been working on a new design for quite some time as I've been able to. If anyone has any grievances regarding my...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. I've had some of my PMs disappear on me, and have been told that some of the PMs I returned have disappeared as well. If you were expecting a reply through PM and did not receive one please PM me again. Custom Septas are available...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. Planning to use a 40mm TIR optic for efficiency/usability and throw. I can send out a head "shell" to be refinished and mailed back for assembly.

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. Kestrel, I like how you've put it into perspective! I hadn't thought about it like that. Largest Diameter is 46mm / 1.8" Added length compared to Surefire C head is 28mm / 1.1" Weight of the entire Septa head assembly (95% heatsink...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. The optic is 10 degree FWHM with an XPE, so probably about 12 FWHM with an XPG. You can see some beam shots in the Septa review done by run4jc here...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. I'm now finally done the Septa Multi-Mode driver. It's been a long haul with a lot of work, but it's here! Septa is available yes, I will be making a sales thread very soon now that I've completed the multi-mode version. Single mode version...

    The "FETtie" - 500W Tailcap Switch for Z41 / FM26XXX

    Sorry for the long wait. They have been available for a long time along with one of my 1900 Lumen P60 Quad S2 drop-ins, I didn't have the equipment to be able to build enough to supply any more than that. Not any longer however... FETties are ready! I don't have the sales thread up yet, I'll...

    Aluminum P60 style (D26) 26650 Light Housing ** Interest / Discussion **

    PM sent about FETtie and VID drop-in compatibility. Definitely needing a solid source for 26650 hosts.

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. I've been abstaining from an update because I don't have anything too interesting to update. I've had to do a complete driver redesign for the multi-mode and it's taking some time, along with the other new projects I have on the go. Rest...

    The "FETtie" - 500W Tailcap Switch for Z41 / FM26XXX

    You're right, the whine is due to resistance. It's from the FETtie not making proper contact in your host, not the switch itself. There's either some debris in there or you may just need to snug it down slightly more. Here's a quote from another member. "On low it has minimal inductor(?)...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. Price will be up when they are for sale. Mentioning a price seems to turn the thread from information into sales. I had planned to have the septas available by now. I've been a little delayed because I've had some unexpected kinks to work...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. I'll do a little photo instructable on this in a bit. For now all those wanting to put their FETtie in their new FM tailcap, it's really easy! Head down to your local hardware store and grab three M10 or 3/8" flat washers. Unscrew the...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Re: 3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts. Good news. The FETtie will work in the new FM host. It actually works with no adapter at all, but be careful if you try this, as the clicking mechanism of the FETtie is compressed by the washer as you thread down. Overtightening will easily...

    3115 Lumen "Thread-On" for 6P and FM26XXX hosts.

    Having pushed the Drop-in to it limits for the time being, the never ending quest for more light continues with the Thread-On Single cell operation, 9.8A draw, 1.4A regulated per LED. (Single LED regulation very important in parallel configurations) Same high quality construction...

    Quad Optic (for P60 Drop-in) Comparison, Khatod vs. Carclo

    Hello everyone! Hope the holidays went well for all. I've been back in the shop doing some prototyping. There's a new Quad optic on the market and I want to test it out to make sure that continuing to use the best parts possible to build these Quads. I've built two R5 flux 5.6A Silver...

    The "FETtie" - 500W Tailcap Switch for Z41 / FM26XXX

    I'm not sure what a solarforce switch feels like either, but it is about the same as a McClicky as flashfiend has mentioned. With an FM host the rubber section is left in the boot. With a Z41 the stock boot must be replaced with a supplied boot that has the rubber section cut out of the...

    P60 Quad Drop-in information thread

    The 4.2A version is safe with a regular high quality LiCo like the AW2600 18650 rated for 5A discharge. For the 5.6A version I would recommend IMR cells. Though I have been told by another member that AW is introducing, or maybe has already, a 2900mAh cell with a max discharge of 5.6A. What a...
