In line with the 200+ post thread closure notice, I am starting a new thread in the right forum, that is... here.

A small bit of background. The first and original Hotlips heatsink project for the popular D sized (OAD) flashlight was started between myself and Rothrandir back before June 2003. Back then, this forum (Custom & Mod B/S/T) had not even been created yet! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The thread has seen the introduction of the Hotlips-C, the Sleeve and the pre-fitted LuxeonIIIs and LuxeonVs' on the Hotlips for simplier modding, ie. Hotlips-C/D #3 and #5.

The contents from the first post from that thread is below. The ORIGINAL HOTLIPS THREAD can be found HERE.
 
Re: Hotlips-C and D heatsinks. *** ALL AVAILABLE ***

MEET THE FAMILY:
-----------------------
Hotlips-D NEXGEN:
This is a version 3 of the popular original Hotlips heatsink. Fits the ~34mm OAD (Ontario Aluminium) body snugly. Note the chunkier lips /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hotlips-C NEXGEN:
This is the version 3 heatsink for a NEWER C-sized OA, ie OAC, with serial # starting with C. The OD of the heatsink is ~26mm. The bottom recess is large enough to fit the Ecan (available from the Shoppe) comfortably.

Sleeve:
The Sleeve will take the ~26mm diam Hotlips-C to ~28mm to fit snugly into older OACs.
*** This item is no longer offered for sale. Instead it will be given away for free and included with your order if you specify that you have an older OAC. You will most likely need to freeze/heat the Hotlips-C and Sleeve combination to make the complete heatsink for your older OACs. Available whilst stocks last.


FORMAT:
-----------------------
Hotlips-D and Hotlips-C will also be available in Configuration #3 and Configuration #5. Config #3 being the LuxeonIII mating (LuxIII epoxied to the Hotlips) and Config #5 being the LuxeonV mating (LuxV epoxied to the Hotlips).

Here are some pics of the hotlips going into the Mag. Note that I have not removed the switching mechanism to remove the bulb holder. When that is done, the hotlips will simply drop in (without needing any force as the picture shows).

MN, your Hotlips-C+S will be shipped to HI today.
 
Re: Hotlips-C and D heatsinks. *** ALL AVAILABLE *

How will the TX1K in the config #3 work being DD'd off of 3 D Alkalines? I'm working on my first mag mod. I've seen a L Vf being recommened, will the K be too low for my use?
thanks in advance,
Tim
 
Re: Hotlips-C and D heatsinks. *** ALL AVAILABLE *

No problems at all DD'ing the TX1K with 3 alkalines. The problem is heat dissipation rather than over voltage. The Hotlips-C in OAC body does a great job
 
Re: Hotlips-C and D heatsinks. *** ALL AVAILABLE *

Excellent, I'll be sending some payment first of next week after payday. thanks for the rapid response.
Tim
 
Re: Hotlips-C and D heatsinks. *** ALL AVAILABLE *
