One of these days I will get better at video, in the meantime here is the DDC20

Jetbeam/Nitecore seems to take on average 3 to 4 before it's working right. I'll Pass.
An RRT mated with an EC1 and had an ugly baby. How can a CR123 light be as long as the 18650 EC2 version? Also the reflector looks smaller than the EC series because the bezel ring is so restrictive. So it will throw less than the EC's. So let me get this straight......I get a lower performing light, with a CR123, thats as big as the Nitecore version with an 18650? And of course the big question is how many versions will there be until the bugs are worked out. Jetbeam/Nitecore seems to take on average 3 to 4 before it's working right. I'll Pass.
Nope. DDC20 is 130mm long. EC2 (18650) is 99mm long. EC2 is only 2.5mm longer than the DDC10 (1xCR123). These lights are very long compared to the Explorer series.The DDC20 takes 2 CR123 batteries, the DDC10 takes only 1. The DDC20 isn't much larger than the EC2.

Yes, they are for all practical purposes the same company.To clear up the confusion, Jetbeam that developed "DD" Series is in no way affiliated with Nitecore.

What I'm saying is....that the DDC10 is too long. For 2.5 extra mm one could get the EC2 which has an 18650 instead of a CR123. I like the EC2 a lot. I just ordered an EC1 from you. I'll probably get an EC2 when/if it comes out with XPG2. That will be a really hot light. I'd estimate about 500 lumens and 9500 lux in throw. And all in a light about the length of CR123 lights.

I like the idea of a fuel gauge on the light, but implementation seems a bit cheesy. I think a small line of led dots could have conveyed the same information and taken up less room on the light. The level of dots could stand for both current-mode and battery level. I'll have to wait for more reviews before considering this series.
