The triple looks awesome in the M2 Cryos.

and effective , that's a nice wide beam :

Looks like the M2 cryos really makes a difference in beam width. Do you have a regular surefire z44 style head to better show the difference?

Thanks for the nice comparison pics, boudeou.

 

[kyhunter1]

Thanks for the comparison.

it's normal. without CPF i would have only one light and i'd be rich. so now if i can help you to buy flashlights and Drop-in and stay poor like me, it's a pleasure :nana:

About all the triple optics are carclo's.

:thumbsup: I was almost sure, optics #10507 clear narrow I suppose.

Plenty around here to share the misery with.

So it shall be said, so it shall be written. The life of a Flashaholic!

Thank you for the comparison of beam.

I have too many lights because of CPF, but it is so good.

4 days in with the AA runtime test now. No change since my last update. The XML2 single module is still running strong at ~ 2 lumens. Just for laughs, I compared it with a quark XPE light on moon mode, and the sportac is way brighter.

 

[boudeou]

these drop-ins are great !

just got home today to see my XM-L2 single (NW) awaiting me and, based on everything posted, I opted to use 3x CR123 cells in a Z2 + A19 (DIY Z3).

Conclusion? This thing is stupid-bright and the beam looks amazing, too! This is an absolute steal.

My nichia triple will only run for 2-3 minutes and then it goes dim, into a moonlight mode. This is in a 9P with 2x17500, both at about 4.0v. If I turn it off and back on, it goes back into full brightness, but will dim down again after another 3-4 minutes.

Anyone else seeing this?

 

[kyhunter1]

Is that 4.0 volts under load?

 

[cland72]

Resting. I don't think I have a way to test them under load unless a basic DMM has that functionality and I don't know it.

I performed the same test with primaries and the drop in did not dim, so it must be the li ion batteries?

Your cells may need a recharge. V under load will be lower.

Just tried two eneloops in my 9P w/ the 219 triple - it produced about 10 lumens of light. Very interesting...

I finally tried two eneloops myself (Nicha triple). I used the 123 size extension and needed a magnet and a nut as spacers to make contact. These are the 2000mah version with full charge 2.8V in my Solarforce L2P, L2-S8 tail.
I got more lumens than you. I see around 35-40 lumens. (as we read in an earlier post the tail switch can affect output).

My single CR123 (3.2V) cell gave around 75 lumens.

So I tried 3 of these eneloops and get full output.... very bright. I had to use the 18650 extension and couldn't tighten it or the tail cap all the way due to the length of the 3 cells. I measured 4.2 volts.

There is some more data to chew on, guys and gals.

I like the length of my light with a single 18650 or with the shorter extension, but the double 18650 is a bit long for me. It is less stable when tail standing too.
I think I might order some 18500 x2 protected button top cells and get the benefit of full regulated output with the shorter extension tube. (Keepower 1700mah look good). I can pop in two AA cells if I want lower lumens, but I would likely just use a different light with multi-modes!. L3 Illumination L10 Nicha.
The single 18650 config is good if diminishing output is OK. The double 18650 is fine for extended run times with regulation.

Yep, a 3 mode driver would be nice here.
