Went to the PO this morning to pick up my new Dereelight.
All I can say is WOW!! I love this flashlight!! :twothumbs

I got the 1SM-2 Cree XR-E module but had them swap for a
R2. I have both reflectors, but am only using the SMO for now.
And I'm running a 18650.
This light is way brighter than any of my other LED's, and it's
built like a tank. VERY solid and extremely well machined. It's a
little large for a EDC, and I can see it getting in my way if worn
on my belt.
Mine came with a battery (18650) and a little zip-lock bag of
spare parts (O-rings, oragne clicky switch cover, and spare screws).
The threads are as smooth as butter and the flashlight has a
great tactile hand-feel. Yeah, this SMO reflector does have rings,
but it's not objectionable, I've seen way noisier beams.

Cant wait till it gets dark outside to check the throw, but I know
this little guy is going to be a favorite keeper indeed. I am way more
impressed with it than I am my SF U2A, and it's less than half the
price. Of course, my DBS does not have adjustable beam, which is a
feature I love on the U2, with it's adjustment ring instead of a stupid
click, click, click!! which is very annoying when waring gloves.

Shipping did not take as long as I thought (from Hong Kong) just over
a week.

For the superb machining, quality, output and reasonable price, I
would recommend this to anyone. And I can tell by the design of the
head and reflector that it's going to throw very well. Just cant wait to
actually test it.

Happy customer!! :D

PsychoBunny,

Enjoy your new DBS, you will love it. How come you didn't order from FlashCrazy? I have ordered from both Alan and Jay (FlashCrazy) and Jay's shipping got to me in 2 days compared to 11 days from Alan. Anyway, where in MD are you? I'm in Frederick.

Nothing like waiting for something to come in the mail.


lol


I ordered my MRV SK from Battery Junction and it arrived in like 3-4 days. I was very pleased.


I am really happy with my MRV SK, but I would like to get a Dereelight DBS 3 too.

Because I did not know they existed. Two days after I made the order, I
found out that there was a US distributor right here on CPF! :oops:

Hey neighbor, I am in College Park :eek:oo:
