    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...

    Sold/Expired CUSTOM QUAD P60 XPG Drop-ins. Up to 1654 Lumen OTF!

    Hey Guys! I'm around. I've been busy with some family stuff helping my parents pack up and get rid of 28 years of stuff, as they're moving into a new place. My Dad's still a little weak from some radiation treatment but he's starting to bounce back pretty well now. I apologize for not being as...

    Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! Inbox cleared. Forward FETtie were delayed to due a parts mix-up, but I have 25 of them nearly complete now. Need to find time to finish them up. Even the 4.2A quad is still about 15 Watts of power. It will run quite a bit cooler than the 5.6A on high, but...

    Sold/Expired Want some Steampunk? **PIC**

    Re: Want some Steampunk? 4.2A Quad will draw 4.2A at the tailcap. 5.6A will draw 5.6A at the tailcap. The problem is you have to use a thick, short, high strand count wire for good contact on the battery and the host, and then use a high resolution "clamp style" meter to properly measure the...

    Sold/Expired The Ultimate Tailcap Switch, the FETtie, for Z41 and variants.

    Happy to say that last night I clicked on the very first FETtie in a forward fashion! It will be another 2 weeks or so until I've completed a production run of them, but everything is looking good.

    The graphics company ATi is from Canada Paul, much more well known than Matrox. RIM and the blackberry line are Canadain, though not doing so well lately. Canada also builds most all the robotics for NASA. Including the main piece, the "Canadarm" -what a stupid name. Google the "Avro Arrow" A...

    Hi mohanjude. My favourite optic for the Quad is the Carclo tight. It's definitely the most popular, most light output, and smoothest beam. Either a FETtie switch or HC-Twisty switch is highly recommended with any Quad. You won't get the most out of it without one. I am just finishing up a...

    Sold/Expired The Ultimate Tailcap Switch, the FETtie, for Z41 and variants.

    Hi mvyrmnd, The FETtie is not a direct swap for the McClicky. The FETtie is a larger diameter. The FETtie will work in almost any host that has 7/8" 20TPI threads or 22mm x 1.25P threads in the tailcap. The McClicky is smaller and uses an adapter to fit 7/8" 20TPI threads or 22mm x 1.25P...

    drmalenko, please see post #19. I responded directly bellow you the first time you asked. bstrickler, I do use leaded solder for everything I build. Easier to work with and far more durable than non-leaded. Taking a quick look on ebay I don't see any mag switches other than a used one...

    Hi bstrickler, I'm pretty sure I could come up with a 30V version for you, maybe with a very slightly higher resistance, in it's current form. Would you use some kind of adapter to make this Z41 switch work with your Mag? I could probably a build a mag replacement switch as well, I'm just not...

    Sorry gt40! Very busy with the release of the 3300 Lumen Septa right now. Your switches were shipped yesterday, you should have had a email sent to your paypal email account with the shipping details.

    Vf goes down with heat, but up with current. Maybe the XP-C performs better in tests than the datasheet would have you believe. I haven't done any myself so I can't say for certain. For adhesive around LEDs silicone is your best bet. The solvents in superglue can put a haze on the LED domes as...

    If you're interested I will build you one, but I think it'd be much better off at a moderate overdrive of 700mA, or 1A at the most. At 1.4A the voltage of the LED will be very high. I'd be quite surprised to see anything much over 1A from a single Li-Ion cell. The forward current vs luminous...

    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. Fabienne, the Multi-Mode Septa is still maximum 4.5V, for single cell use only...

    Thanks for the order chesterqw. I responded to Kent through PM about the Leef U2 body. I don't have any experience with one myself and cannot help him. Does anyone know if the FETtie will fit into a Leef U2? If the Leef U2 tailcap threads onto a surefire P/C series then there's a good chance it...

    Yes, the battery can replaced easily by pulling out the clicking mechanism. The battery voltage can also be tested with a multi-meter without disassembling anything. Once the cell is under 2.7V it should be replaced. Check it every 6 months or so. What exactly do you mean by installation...
