Been Away, Questions on DBS Competition, Weapon Light

[Mattole]

I've been away from the forum for a while and so am not up on the latest offerings in the LED world and I have a few questions I am hoping to receive some assistance with.

I own a Deerelight DBS V3 that I am very happy with. The first question I have is if there is anything that beats the performance of this light that is the same or near to the same size. Perhaps a light with at least equal throw but that has more spill.

The second question refers to the fact that I was recently hoping to use this light as a weapon light but the diameter of the head is too large to mount beneath the barrel of the rifle I want to use it on with the light mount that I have. Is there a CR123 or 18650 battery light with a smaller diameter head that is still insanely bright with good throw and at least decent spill?

Thanks very much.

Mattole,

You might want to look at the HDS Systems EDC Tactical 170. Works with a standard 1" mount and was designed to handle the recoil.

About DBS - you can try XP-G pill but it works best with separate reflector designed for this emitter ($25).

That sounds interesting, thanks.

Any other advice from the Candlemasters out there?
