Another Dereelight question

[insanefred]

I am thinking on getting DBS V2 w/ 1SM-2 Cree XR-E 5A Q3 (SMO) with extension tube.
I will be using two 18650 cells, I want good constant output with reasonable run time (2 hrs +).
Will this option give me more and longer output than my TK20 and have regulated out put?
Oh, can the DBS v2 tail stand?

what?
no one?

I just stood my DBS on it's tail and it fell on it's ***(I'm on my 7th beer since I got home from work and the same thing is about to happen to me).Take my advice,buy the Q5 and forget about the ex-tube.The DBS is a sweet little light,don't ruin it with an extension tube or messy MC-E-M pill!

I'm talking about CANADIAN BEER. The British have a saying about American beer-it's like having sex in a canoe-f**king close to water!

The pill gives 1A to the led, that will probably translate to around 1.2A from a 18650 battery, with 2200mAh your will get close to two hour on one battery and double on two batteries, i.e. 3.5 hour. With two batteries you will get regulated output until the batteries are drained, remember to use batteries with protection, or your will damage the batteries.

Personally I think that the DBS with extension tube is to long, I have an MC-E with extension tube, but are going to try running it on two IMR16340 and see if I can accept the shorter runtime.

Is it longer than a 2D maglite?

 

[FlashCrazy]

It's shorter. A Mag 2D is 10 inches long. With the extension tube attached, the DBS is 9 inches long. Without the extension, it's about 6.25 inches. Of course the body is much thinner than a Mag 2D, and the head is a little thinner/shorter as well.

No, you can see the 2D maglite, Dereelight with and without extension tube and minmag here:
