X3 is one sweet flashlight.

Can you provide some details about the drop in's LK?
Will they work with a pair of those Eagtacs? Will it still have a beam that throws like it was shot from a bazooka?
That sorts stuff...

Re: 15 flashlights: Dereelight, Nitecore, Manker, Sunwayman, Spark, 4Sevens ++

Drop ins are custom made, copper pills, XP-L LED's, fully potted, and very bright! (Still in progress, with supply chain issues) The recommended battery setup is 2 x 16500 or 2 x 17500 (Double A size, AA sized batteries, with wider bodies). I am currently sourcing the best value in these. The EAGTAC 17650 batts are too long, as they were made to replace 2x 16340, or 2 x CR123's.

Of course the PentagonLight X3 with XP-L drop in, (or incan Xenon) works well on three primary CR123 batteries!

Are you able to quote a price on the X3 drop-ins so we can prepare?

Sounds great.
Thanks for the info.
Sounds versatile in that a pair of 50mm's or 3 primaries will work. Looking forward to these.

lightknot -- Will these drop ins you are fabricating be single mode or will there be other options available on them?

So far, plans are for straight tactical 100% only. We will possibly explore mode options in the future

I'd be in for one light when the drop-ins are available.
Always been a fan of the pentagon light look.

Supply chain issues finally resolved. XP-L drop ins should be available next Friday.
We will post specs and prices as the drop ins become available in the upcoming week.

PentagonLight X3 drop ins available in very limited quantities. These are built in the USA. Fully potted, XP-L LED emitters with massive copper heat sink, superb soldering and high quality components throughout. They have each been tested with a 20 minute timed burn-in period. These XP-L LED drop ins provide a huge increase in light output over the original Xenon bulb, they are much less fragile, nearly impervious to shock, vibration and drop damage, and have a almost endless lifespan. Brand new, custom made in the USA, XP-L LED conversion drop in - $35ea. Free USA shipping, Please reply with a definite "I'll take it" to receive the PayPal address. One per person please.
