Possible non-Moddoo Triple LED?

So I've been frustrated that the Moddoo Triple XP-G dropins are literally out of my reach, and I've been searching all over for alternate Triple LED Dropins that would let me have 600+ lumens in a 6P host.

Then I found this site here:
http://www.cutter.com.au/categories.php

The technical bits escape my grasp, but aren't there at least the proper pieces available in order to get ahold of a Triple LED dropin?

Or am I just dreaming again?

You can get them from a U.S. supplier now!!


3 x XP-G on 20mm board: http://ledsupply.com/creexpg-w417.php

3 x XP-G 20mm optic: http://ledsupply.com/carclo-optics-xpg-3up.php

Easy build if you can machine a simple heatsink to fit snugly inside the body and hold the driver.

I don't have any kind of tools for that.

Here's what seems to be the most promising source at the moment for completed quad drop-ins. He'd like to start building them for sale, although he's still working on the prototype.

Edit: It definitely wouldn't hurt to post an 'interest-to-buy' in his thread tho.

Due to a shipping error (the vendor told me to keep it) I have a really nice neutral white Rebel 90 tri-star that I'd love to make a P60 drop-in out of.

It would be nice if a P60 sized heatsink/holder was available for 20mm triples. I don't have the tools/ability to make one myself.

You could also buy these XPG boards from a CPF member here https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/265294

I've got the first one from Rav, looks great. Working on building it into a 2C torch using three small boost drivers.

I simply cannot stress enough how little tools/parts/experience I have with this kind of stuff.

If I bought myself a soldering iron, I'd probably try to solder the LED board to my face(would make a nice headlamp to be honest).

If you're really interested in getting a triple XP-G, contact Milky. He is able to do a triple XP-G using reflectors instead of an optic lens.

Seems IMO to be somewhat deceptive to call the Carclo triple optic an XP-G optic. The part number in the pdf that ledsupply links to is the same as when it was an XP-E optic and the XP-G didn't even exist yet.

I dont think its misleading. Carclo has optics which they specify for the xp-g and others for the xp-e. This particular optic is simply specified for use with the "xp" range. That being said, I think it is perfectly acceptable for Ledsupply to advertise these as "xp-g optics" It is also the same optic that Cutter is offering for use with the xp-e, xp-g and xp-c. And they seem to work rather well, although with a much larger hotspot with the xp-g than if used with xp-e.

I wonder if Malkoff might start producing triples for people who don't like the all-flood MCE modules?

Might be worth bouncing the idea off of them, though I suspect compatibility issues with their older hosts and heads - the triple optic is rather wider than their old single optic. (but hey, no more white ring?)

wonder if ledsupply's heatsinks for the 3-up will fit inside a p60 host. Dimensions are very close. I'm trying to save up for a VanIsleDM drop-in, but if my broke azz can't build up funds in time, I might have to try a DIY option. Thinking of going this route maybe.

I am interested also. I would have purchased a moddoo triple XP-G a long time ago but for the fact that it is not regulated or at full output at 4.2 volts. I want to run it on an 18650. I will not run something like this on primaries or rcr123a - I want the run time of an 18650 but I don't want the size of a 2x18650. If I wanted a 2x18650 light, I have much better options. Anyway, I'm hoping somebody can build one that runs (properly) on a single 18650.

Check the link posted by Kestrel and see if you can get a quad XP-G. They are really nice drop-ins and you can even select the color temp of the LEDs.

I've picked up one of these for my 6P. It has been great so far. Another option.

I'd enjoy one of those in triple xml format, actually. I wonder if it's possible?

I doubt it-but a quad XML mag dropin would be pretty nice.
