Part 2: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/278902
Features:
- P60 Dropin
- Solid copper slug thermally attached to base
- Reflector is thermally bonded to base
- Electronics & leads are fully potted with thermally conductive compound
- Inner spring is epoxy bonded to driver board
- Powering an XP-G R5 emitter by a 1.4A, Single stage 7135 board
- Runs most efficiently with 1x Li-ion (2x123 can be used in emergency situations, 6V max input)
- Copper strip included for maximum heat transfer from dropin to host body.
Changes:
Switched to clear epoxy for inner spring. *Black again, 2nd batch
Due to the R5 being mounted on a thicker board, the there is more of a hotspot compared to the R4 variant while still retaining spill. (I like this beam pattern better).
*Dropin modules sent to me had a slightly larger base diameter than my R4 base did, requiring a single coil of the outer spring to be removed (see picture).
Output:
MrGman and bigchelis confirmed the R4 variant had 306 OTF lumens & 287 lumens after 3 mins!
R5's should net ~320 OTF (approximation) with a higher Lux reading.

Due to the nature of the 7135 boards & varying XP-G Vf's, I will not be making any regulation claims. However, XP-G's naturally have a lower Vf (3.3-3.4), and when tested out of 4 modules, still managed to pull an average of ~1.2A from a 18650 with 3.64V. This will vary depending on what 18650 cell is used. In addition, reverse polarity will destroy these boards.
For this initial run, I will be constructing 17 modules.
9 Will be going to waitlisted members in the thread,
8 will be for open purchase.
Limit one per open purchase! (For now)
*The reason I left 8 open spots is to give people who either didn't post or were further down the list a chance to snag one.
Subsequent runs will have fewer open spots & more people on the waitlist getting one. In addition, waitlisted members get their price locked in.
