The DEFT EDC is out!

[Rancid Badger]

Pulled the trigger and order an EDC today.

Just had a thought though, does anyone know if there is a remote tail switch which will fit so that it can be weapon mounted?

You can send in your P60 light to Michael, and he can build a DEFT into your host.

Dude, this looks great and the entire presentation looks very polished. So much so that I had trouble figuring if you where behind it. ')

But a quick read in CPF solved my puzzle. Like on the orig, I won't delay on this one.

Wishing you only the best with this as you deserve it.
Thanks

Eye candy.

Is this true for any P60 light? Michael, if you could chime in?

I'd send a TnC P60 host in for this treatment if it can be done. That sounds very cool.

Nice, PSM! Great choice of a host for the mod!

[grayhighh]

PSM, that is one amazing 6P !

[Morelite]

Very nice 6P, I'm sending mine in as soon as it comes back from the Cerakote service.

You know, sometimes I browse the forum and see a flashlight that I semi-want. This is one of those that I absolutely want. I'm just not sure if I should pull the trigger now or later due to how much it costs. Are there any plans for any sort of upgrades or what not in the foreseeable future?

[bigchelis]

Here is a small video of the only true and measured 40K lux I have. The 3D Mag XM-L at 720ish OTF and 40K lux is not really a fair comparisson, but my other Aspheric EDC build was not ready. It will be this next Saturday for the Aspheric EDC shootout.

^^^nice vid bigc!

[LuxLuthor]

Yeah, nice video BC.

[bigchelis]

Yeah, nice video BC.

Thanks guys, but thats nothing...wait till this Saturday for the EDC shootout.
For sure another DEFT EDC I have vs. a 100% identical build but with a 2.1A driver and XR-E R2 EZ1000. Maybe some other pocket throwers I have in mind.

My camera is the Sony NEX C3 and I can shoot the 720P video with all the settings 100% on manual.

In theory a Surefire one should fit but one customer who tried it said it did not work. Don't remember why. I will look into it more myself and see if I can find one that will work.

Sorry the delayed response as I have been on vacation. Yes any P60 host will do as long as it is metal.

As with all companies I am always planning for the future. There is an upgraded one coming but the price will be significantly higher as well. It is rather hard to improve on what is already the industry's most intense light engine.

Thanks for the video BigC. I am of course curious to see how our two setups compare in their measurements. I tried to be a little on the conservative side and it appears, at least by the video, that I may be a little conservative after all. Can't wait to see what you measure my light at.

Does anyone have any info on runtimes?

[recDNA]

Nice video bigc. Any idea how far away that buolding is? You have a nice view.

[saabluster]

Does anyone have any info on runtimes?

I had them and them misplaced them.Expect about an hour and a half to two hours on a decent cell.

[Nero]

Thanks! But what kind of 18650?

This one is probably the best.

So how did the shootout go?

So how did the shootout go?

Well, the meet went great. My buddy PCC had a difficult time doing the copper to LED bonding. So, just to have something ready for the CPF BBQ he put a 1.4A driver and XR-E on star which is not ideal. The DEFT has a hotspot about 50% smaller then the XR-E R2 EZ1000.

Needless to say the DEFT won, but I want to eventually show a video review once PCC finalized the LED to copper bonding and 2.1A driver.

Without active cooling in my opinion 2.1A is too much for the XR-E. On top of that it is too much thermal load for a light that size and still most likely will not equal the DEFT-edc for throw. I matched my components the way I did for a reason Although that copper star I sent you is for an XM-L you can also use it to mount the XR-E if you think it would make things easier for him to get his LED mounted.

why does nobody add some videos and photos about deft edc for comparation?just afew

for such a popular light, there sure isnt much pics of video is there? just got mine in today, i will try to post up some pics soon. pretty nice little light, it is much smaller than i expected.

[veedo]

not quite sure how to capture a good beam shot pic....these pictures are with a cell phone, and i am no photographer. this is one fun light! its like a laser beam out of the lens. i have a lumapower d65v r2 with a turboforce head i was comparing it to. throw is very similar i do believe, but i will have to play around some more. the difference is this is much more portable than the lumapower!

Where is page 6,7,8,9 and 10?

I tried, but its impossible to find something in this size that will throw anywhere near how much this throws. So, I can do a video of similar size lights considered throw lights but at 12~15K lux they hardly throw at all.

Maybe I can show a 350 OTF XR-E Lumapower D-mini with 35mm SMO bezel and 2A of current its at 24~25K lux due to the insane current and copper heatsink.

Stay tunned as this will be a nice comparison, but currently the 2A driver is being put together.
