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

Hi,
:paypal:

Just sent $40 dollars more to get the driver that allows me to use 2 or 3 li-in cells😀


Thanks,
Jose

Thank you sir.

UPDATE:
I got the last of the heat sinks built for now.
Here is the damage from last night.

The first big order from Cutter was shipped today.🙂

one of these days I will get a good nights sleep.:candle:
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins. PRE-PAY SALE

I saw you stuck a P7/MC-E in one of the heatsinks. Very cool.

I am interested in a MC-E P60 drop-in for up to 4.2v. 1 cell duty.😀

The only issue with the quad emitters was the lack of heatsinking, but after seeing your heatsinks oh my:hitit:

Even if you put a smaller reflector and add more heatsinking, it would surely do better. In fact the Malkoff P7 P60 did 30ish more lumens vs. the Nailbender P7 due to the Malkoff heatsink.

Let me know if these are available or feasible. You can pot mine like it is going out of style because I want heatsinking as #1 priority. Maybe a 2.5A driver to keep the current in check.😗

Thank you,

It's a warm bin from Nailbender.

It looks like a friggen bonfire.😱

I'll get some shots tonight.

Additonally;
The P7 direct drive using the same LED, UCL, IMR 18650 in 2 formats...
1. In a P60 hosts = 356~383 out the front.
2. In a Mag w/ Britelumens heatsink = 710 out the front.

So, you see with all things considered equal with the exemption of the heatsink the P7 made nearly twice as much out the front in MrGman's sphere with adequate heatsink. I think your P60 MC-E: 6P type light will come as close as possible to 700 out the front lumens in such a small package.

Good info.

I am going to solder these MC-E directly to a chunk of copper and mate that to the aluminum heat sink with some Arctic Silver.

Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins + maybe MC-E soon

E mini PROTO Head? :thinking:😀 So it really isn't dead.

Anyway, so can you come up with an MC-e optic that can throw some without having a donut in it? All I can get is either mostly flood or a big stinking donut. I suppose the same issue will exist on this one though, either 1 mode only with 2 li-ion's or 3 modes with 1 li-ion. Wait I'm not sure if you even said multi-mode was an option on an MC-E. :ohgeez:

I really like your superb heatsinks and would love to have one of them working for me but I need to quit trying to alter/mod/personalize/tweak what you are making and selling here. I have to surrender to the shorter runtimes and use 1 18650 cell. I also have to decide on triple XP-E or MC-E. 🙄 After seeing your plan on uber heatsinking the MC-E that's what I'm leaning towards with a warm emitter. Just have to find an optic......... There I go again! 🙁

I've heard that the Boom narrow's are about as good as it gets with throw for the mc-e thus far.:popcorn:

Dead? it was just born on tuesday...
Been working on the design for a few weeks.
I had to come up with a high performance LED head for the E-series that is half the size of the KL1.
If things go well it might be 1/2 the price of the SF heads.

If these are sold:
The driver options will be similar to the triples.
I am constantly working on more driver options.
unfortunately, big power from big capacity = big $$$ right now.

The Boom SS seems pretty nice.
I haven't used it much yet.
In a package this small, a tight beam may be hard to get.

I'll build up one with the M-bin and get some longer range shots this weekend.

Thank you.


UPDATE:

All drivers have arrived.

Lots of goodies from Cutter arrived today.😀

Waiting for potting compound to arrive. should be here this week.

I am leaving on a camping trip middle of wednesday 7-1.
returning 7-5.

I will get the assembly line started next week.

Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins + maybe MC-E soon

I just wanted to add that now that we can purchase the fivemega IC bodies again the Tripple XP-E single modes are more appealing because the IMR C cells should have almost no sag.

Also,
The super heatsink you have with a P7 or MC-E with a single IMR Cell should really perform. I will run my Tripple R2 with 2C hosts from Fivemega and 2 IMR C cells with UCL lens.

Here is what the Nailbender P7 direct drive P60 drop-in did with bigger C NiMH cells...
Nailbender P7_D26 Mod__,__Fivemega 3C_________3 C Tenergy,___547.7______3 sec_______,
Nailbender P7_D26 Mod__,__Fivemega 3C_________3 C Tenergy,___459.8_____30 sec_______,
Nailbender P7_D26 Mod__,__Fivemega 3C_________3 C Tenergy,___441.1_____60 sec_______,
Nailbender P7_D26 Mod__,__Fivemega 3C_________3 C Tenergy,___422.4____120 sec_______,
Nailbender P7_D26 Mod__,__Fivemega 3C_________3 C Tenergy,___409.3____180 sec_______,

Conclusion: based on all the testing the added benefit of your heatsink and the new IMR C cells we will definitely see better numbers. I have spend money and time in trying to figure out why the P7/MC-E LED's can't make over 500 lumens out the front in a 6P size hosts. So, far I conclude it needs a massive heatsink and cells with the least possible sag. AW provided the cells and you have just invented the heatsink!!:twothumbs:twothumbs

Oh man, I think I'm game for an MCE drop-in as well. :ohgeez:
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins + maybe MC-E soon

I'll bring a few😀 lights camping this weekend.

and a video camera.

maybe get some real life beam shots.

I made a 3-mode warm triple headlamp last night too.😉

Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins + maybe MC-E soon

Hey everyone,
I'm back from the great north woods.

Tomorrow I will begin assembly of the drop-ins.

BTW, the warm triple headlamp was excellent. I barely touched any other lights, except for fun.
 
Re: Custom built triple CREE XP-E <> P-60 drop-ins + maybe MC-E soon

I will be re reading this thread further to determine what drop in to get, but I would like one.

Typically, the beams from quad die emitters in smaller bezels do not have the nicest beams, but I think this area is slowly seeing improvement.

For a single cell, what is brighter, a quad die or your 3xR2 bin Crees?

And if I bought one of these drop ins, could I send you both a Surefire C2 and a C3 body to bore?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
The beam from the MC-E with the Boom SS reflector to me is very practical for most use.
I hope to find the time to add some longer distance beam shots soon.

It is obviously not a tight spot like the single die beams.

It is also not for sale yet. :laughing: I am working on it.

I cannot say which is brighter, there are several differences in the 2 setups.
I do not have a cool white MC-E built yet to compare.
Calculations based on tech specs shouldn't really be relied on IMO.

I hope to have a couple of samples tested pretty soon.

Yes, I can bore your lights for you.
:wave:
