Are the optics able to be changed by us, the users? Or is the one we order the one we are stuck with?
I like the spot and then medium frosted if I can interchange.
If interchangable, what is the cost of an additional optic?
Thanks
Russ
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

The optics will be assembled with 3 drops of silicone glue on the legs.
this could be removed and replaced by you.
(Driver will be potted with a thermal silicone, Arctic Silver beneath leds, This will allow easier disassembly than an epoxy.)
modify at your own risk

I do not have a quick change system set up yet.

You would need to see which one you like best and glue it in.
If you would like, I will sell you one with the optics loose.

I will supply extra optics for $8 each

Beamshots added 8-18:

Distance = 50 feet

R2 triple @ 2.8A with:

Narrow Clear<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>Narrow Frosted

Yes, I will get them out ASAP. But Cutters parts take a while to get to my door.
7-20 is a latest estimate.

Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

Will this fit and work in an old aluminum Surefire P6? The 16850 does not fit in the light are there other options?

I will bore your light to fit 18650 for $10 with your order.
Yes the drop in will fit your light.

Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

Can you bore SureFire Weapon Lights? I got a 951 that might could use a new dropin.
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

It looks like it would bore just fine, send it over.
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

The "neck" for SF weaponlights has a different interior profile vs. SF Classic handheld tubes. That's why the solid body Malkoffs often need a fitting ring to make electrical ground contact. Can you verify that your heat sink shape works reliably with weaponlight tubes? Does the driver cavity have a little ledge or stop where the board can sit so that it doesn't get pushed in any farther under pressure from the battery stack?

Thanks for the info man.

I will verify the fit when it is received.
If needed, I can have some customized to fit.

The driver does sit on a ledge, and it is fully potted.
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

Im very interested but do you ship Internationally ?
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

I'll take an R2 with the narrow optic. + a Defender body.
