wptski, the KL1 accepts an input voltage of 3 - 9V. The Pilas at 3.7V are ideal since the LED voltage is around the 3.5V mark and the KL1 has less boosting/bucking to do and runs more efficiently. The KL4 uses a boost circuit and presumably takes from 3 - 6V. The lower the input voltage the higher the current draw from the batteries. A 123 can't supply enough current to keep the KL4 in regulation, but a Pila can. A KL4 with Pila 168S will run for about 50minutes, so I have read. I estimate 35 minutes on a Pila 150S, regualted.

Thanks, you've solved my problems! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

Will these work with McLux PR-T heads with Wizard boards? Also, these have no tailcaps, have to work with SF E-series or McLux tailcaps or are they twisty bodies?

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

i believe balrogs design calls for the e-series tailcap to be used. (you supply your own)

flashlight, the Pilas will work with McLux heads and Wizard boards.

I'm in for one subject to final pricing...

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

I've updated the initial post. Please have a read of the edits if you haven't already read them. Thanks.

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

I'm in for one also depending on price.

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

Okay, I feel that there is sufficient interest for the Pila 150S bodies so I am going to proceed with the run. I've approved the design plans and the prototype should be ready as soon as this monday. Once I verify that it works, they can commence work on machining the parts. I still need to finalise the cost of the anodising before I can provide a final price. However, I am quite confident that I will be selling these between $20-25USD per body.

So, if you want any, please indicate in this thread how many you want, and whether you want HA natural or bare aluminium. The minimum run size is 50. As long as there is sufficient demand for 50 in HA natural then I can charge a little less for bare aluminium. I won't need to take prepayment and if you put your name down, and later decide to take it off because the price is not to your liking, that's fine. First come first serve. Order as many as you want. I'm sure I will have more than enough for everyone.

I expect that the bodies will be completed late July. I'm going away on holidays most of June and should be inspecting, and, pending approval, dropping the machined parts to the anodisers as soon as I get back from my holiday early July. Anyway, that's the plan as I see it.

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

I'm in for two. One HA, other bare AL.

 

[JonSidneyB]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

I will take one...I will also be wanting to bug Roth about getting one of his as well when he is ready.

 

[BigHonu]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

one please

Aloha

[Wildcat]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

I'll take one bare or anodized.

 

[kakster]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

2 of each flavour for me please.

 

[kfasold]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

One in HA

 

[Wildcat]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

Dang, I just realized, these are for 150 S, not 150 A. Why did you choose the smaller cell over the larger one?

 

[Rothrandir]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

larger one won't work...

 

[JonSidneyB]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

scream really loud when yours are ready Roth.

 

[balrog]

Re: Pila 150S bodies (E series compatible)

Wildcat, that was my original wish, But as Roth says, it wouldn't work /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mecry.gif. If you tried to make the inside diameter of the tube 2mm wider then there would not be enough width in the material to make this thread and the walls of the body would be too thin.
