Dereelight DBS + Asperichal XR-E R2 mod available?

[troelskc]

Hi!

I'm the proud owner of the DBS and would like to know whether or not it's possible to get some more power out of the R2? I'ts is currently run by 2 x AW p18650's and the current to the emitter should be 1.2 A. I'm not sure how this is measured, but got it from their webpage.

Thanks in advance!

There is a EZ-900 R2 1.5 amp pill that's available now.
Not too sure how long it's been around.
I came across it when someone posted it on another forum.
I just got mine today.
Going to be used in a aspherical setup.
Darkness is taking a long time to arrive.

Dont if know if you have seen this thread below - If you want to look at this thread there is a lot of information about the DBS V3

Tried out the new pill last night. The night was crystal clear except for a full moon.
Big improvement compared to the old pill (XP-E R3). My eyeball guesstamation puts it at about 35% - 40% more throw.
So I think 90,000 lux is just about right.
I live in the city so the ambient street lights combined with a full moon diluted the full impact of the hotspot.
I'm looking forward to the next time I head out to the countryside.
There's a huge field close to tall white office building that I use as my throw test site.
Hey mohanjude, thanks for the link, excellent info, don't know how I missed it.
There's a post that saabluster said can achieve 200,000 lux with the Dereelight setup.
Can you imagine that, having that kind of throw in your pocket, incredible !!!

makapuu - saabluster is a whizz... his DEFT EDC LR is just amazing..considering it has a small lens diameter. I am sure if he puts his pill into the optics of the DBS V3 it is possible to get this kind of output if the heat can be managed. I thinks his DEFT EDC LR is a good compromise between portability and throw as I find it difficult to carry the DBS V3 with the aspeheric lens in my jacket pocket.

I've just measured my XR-E at the tailcap, it said .84 and that's with 2 x 18650's, so 1.5A at the head should be about right. So I do have the new XR-E R2 but anyone knows if it's possible to get something like saabluster is working on? I'd really like to run this R2 @ 2.0 A.

It would depend on the battery capacity but a 3000 mah rated 18650 should last 1 and a half hours to 2 hours.
