Sorry, I planned to post a beamshot but the light shipped the very next morning & I was not able to. I reserved the second post for them too. Looks like Donn can help here.
Wow, that has to be some sort of record! Shipped on Sat from Cali & delivered in NY on Monday! Good to hear Donn, I'm glad they meet your expectations. :thumbsup:
Awsome mod Will
Maybe one of these emitters in my LionCub....
Donn_ you lucky dawg :thumbsup:
Benny, sure can do if you can supply the emitter. I don't have any. The DD performs better with the larger 27mm reflector.

In the standard 20mm head throw is not as great. The K2 TFFC would be a better choice for throw. Not sure if you would like this bin that came from MJ, tint is very cool..

I'm very frustrated.
I went to great lengths to set up indoor screenshots, against a white ceiling, and got good shots of all three emitters in the HD45; X-Bin, SSC P4 and Diamond Dragon.
The problem is I haven't been able to figure out how to use Photoshop Elements to create an animated GIF of the 3 files.
So for now, here's a pic of the three lights against a beige wall...~12 feet away:
Left-to-right, X-bin, SSC-P4 and Diamond Dragon.
If I can stay awake, I'll try to get outdoor shots later.

GIFs in PSE are not easy. My wife downloaded a free editor from CNET that is just drag and drop for a GIF, no frames, layers etc.
Great beamshots, you get an idea of the intensity of the Diamond Dragon.

Got it! Photoscape from CNET does the trick quite nicely:
The lights were tail-standing on the same spot on the floor, and the white ceiling is 8' away. The camera was elevated 2' and slightly offset.

Wow, nice comparison Donn! I had no idea it was that much brighter. I've worked with a number of these & while I do know they're brighter I never realized it was that much different! Now I need to build me a DD light for myelf too! 
For you, anytime my friend! I'm trying to think of something for you to do for me! Not that I need it, just so I can say "yup Brian did this one".

Hey Donn,
You wouldn't have any outdoor beamshots of that great mod with the original x bin would you? Reason I ask is that I have an HD45 (x bin) and would really like to upgrade to the DD.
Regards.

Sorry, I don't, and I no longer own an X-Bin HD45. I do, however, have a 1x18650 C-Mag with an X-Bin in an McR45 reflector, so it should be pretty much identical in performance. I'll try to organize an outdoor shoot.

Thanks Donn, most appreciated. Really would like to get a feel for the DD. Trying to decide if I should upgrade my XX1T HD45. Decisions, decisions...
