I am in need of some wide and narrow TIR optics for XR-E, and sort of in a hurry. I have ordered some Carclo optics from Future, but what I would really like is something that snaps onto the LED, like the narrow optics sold at DX (sku 1920) and KD (I dunno the sku).

It looks like Khatod 1127 series are just what I need. KEP112725 and KEP112740. Or better still, the same optics but with the black holders.

Anyone know of a US source, or at least a reliable source?

OK, now I can at least type. So, yah, those optics, or anything comparable. I did try checking out through Khatod ecommerce site, but it started getting too involved, not to mention expensive!

I pretty much finished this project.

In addition to the Carclo optics I ordered Q5-WG on round PCB from Cutter. If you aren't aware of it, the Carclo optic holder I am using cover the solder points on each side of the star. I THOUGHT the cutter round board had contacts at the ends, but I was wrong. You can imagine how happy I was when I opened the envelope and found that out :) What I thought were solder points were actually mounting holes. Doh. So I had to solder directly to the LED which went OK but I had to use smaller gauge wire than originally planned.
Haven't taken any pics yet, I may make a new post about it.

But, the point of the story is, afterwards I found the optics I wanted LEDSTOK.com for anyone else who needs something similar.
