That may be the "best" that Dereelight offers, but you can buy EZ900 R2's driven at 2.1A (and only needing one 18650 too) from vinhnguyen54 over at the marketplace (and I have an idea that Nailbender may offer an XR-E drop-in as well).

Has anyone measured the output of the Dereelight aspheric with the XR-E driven at 2.1?
Also, I believe Nailbender commented that there wasn't much advantage in driving the XR-E past 1.4 amps. But I could be wrong.:shrug:

I am a fan of throwers too. :thumbsup:
Here are some of my throwers, I have MC-E, SST-50, R2, R5s, warm, cool, and some XM-Ls in them. Plus 1 small orange 6P size.

I'm kinda wanting a de-domed XML running ~3.5a w a SMO reflector.
P60 module.
My domed SMO XMLs throw surprisingly well especially @3.5a
I'm wondering how much I would gain by de-doming?

And my neutral XRE 1.7a modded Smallsun is KILLING it!
I left the reflector on so the beam is ugly but doesn't bother me outside.

I have a 2.1A EZ900 in my DBS ASP and its stronger than the 1.5A I had previously (can't compare side-by-side though). With the solid heatsinking in the ASP head (and plenty of Arctic Silver on the pill/bezel threads) I'm not worried about overheating. Don't see any drop-off with AW & ReadiLast 18650s, but then I don't run this light for long periods...

It should be same throw or even little better than R2 EZ900 all depends on lenses lottery.

I have tiablo A9 Q5 and A9 R2 with EZ1000 die but Q5 outthrows R2 but not much...

Just got a PAlight 123 EDC SS
It has a smooth reflector and XPE that seems to be driven Hard.
Shocking throw for a small quark mini123 sized light.
strange little guy.
Mines a neutral- ~4500-5000k I'd guess.

I am very happy with my Thrunite TN31 and looking forward to more info on the Olight SR95UT. I am assuming that UT stands for Ultimate Thrower.

My Malkoff MD3 Hound Dog XP-G. with 2X18500 AW. cells throws and it is a good sized hot-spot out to about 250yds. In a truly dark situation, it throws a lot further but I'm not in total dark often: This is all I need and I couldn't be happier!

LOL

Lucky then that you don't need a dedicated thrower like the ones discussed in this thread.


:D

Now now that's naughty. Just because it throws less than a Maelstrom G5. It's still better than nothing.

I know that Deerelight factory is testing new EZ1000 R2 driven at 2 amp current.

For now throw goes 90 000 lux...

So if that will work out throw will be same as old one with bigger die...

Why put out a thrower that puts out the same amount of lux with the bigger die?

I have the Dereelight Aspheric DBS-T EZ900 with multi mode and multiple batteries and it really throws already.

I think I now prefer my Thrunite TN31 because it gets used more and has useful spill as well as being a monster thrower.

Aspherics have their place but are in a specialty area.

If they make a pill with a bigger lux rating it should be just a case of buying the new pill and fitting it.

LEGO STYLE with Dereelight!!



Cheers

I must admit, I am really liking my Thrunite TN31 in combination of my Dereelight DBS aspheric EZ900 R2.

I am waiting for Michael's DBS upgrade :)
