Hey CPF,
I have a few P60 Mule drop-ins for sale. After lots of searching for the perfect light to use at work, I decided I was better off making my own drop-in. I wanted a mule that I could beat up and could stick in a Surefire. This set up allows me to use a 17670 or an 18650 in a bored host for suuuuuuper long runtimes. I decided to go with a 1.4A driver with 3 modes and memory. The relatively low power of this mule should provide 2+ hours on high with a good quality 18650. Low and medium are good for the close up work that I do every day, which again, is the reason that I started this project!
The machining and design of the brass is the only thing that I did not do. Chris over at TnC helped me out a lot with this! He also gave me a few good pointers about the build.
I used Arctic Alumina thermal adhesive to bond the 20mm stars to the brass. The LEDs and drivers are from Illumination Supply.
I have tested the fitting and operation of each drop-in in a Surefire 6P and a Fivemega 18650 body. I have no means of testing in any other brand host! Although, I do have outer springs for the drop-ins which may help them fit into other hosts. (Outer spring not needed in my two hosts)
The driver specs are 2.8-6v input. I would recommend using it with a single lithium rechargeable only. Modes are 5%, 30%, 100% with memory
I would like to sell these for $89 shipped each.
If I can get interest to do a larger run of these, the price will be lower. Also, I may order some V10 ultra glow powder to add with some epoxy around the emitter for the next run.
1) XPG2 5000k *SOLD
2) XPG2 5000k *SOLD
3) Nichia 219 4500 *SOLD
I recommend using this drop-in in a host with a smooth bezel ring like the ones from Oveready. It rounds out the profile of the beam to a perfect circle. It also works best with a McClicky setup. I found that with a standard Surefire push-button it will switch modes when dropped or abused hard because of the shorter spring. I've been beating up my 6P to make sure the drop-in is solid
I do not have a way of measuring lumens! The XPG2 is brighter than the 219 and the 219 is a bit warmer in color and has a higher CRI (obviously) pretty straight forward!
If these sell and there is interest for more, just post here. I only want to use 1.4A drivers and any LED mounted to a 20mm star because they are familliar to me and easy to work with. I will however, be experimenting with 3A drivers and some XMLs in the future but no solid plans yet.
USA only
Payment by Paypal
First "I'll take it"
I usually ship Saturdays but might make an exception for a week day next week. I am currently in a blizzard.
Feel free to post questions here and I will do my best to answer in a timely manner
