can i use 2x18650 with the XR-E R2 pill?

Hi ppl,

Quick question from a torch noob. I'm looking at a DBS V3 and adding a 1 stage R2 pill and wasn't sure if i could use the extension tube and 2x18650 or not?

Will the extension tube add lumens or just increase runtime in this situation?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to CPF :welcome:
If the pill you are using is a 1SM pill, you can use 2x18650. I don't think it will increase your output, but will greatly increase your run time.

o.k, cool.

What is the difference between the 1S and 1SM besides the bigger input V?

Is the R2 the best pill for the DBS V3, i'll be mating it with a aspheric lens to make a thrower.

Cheers,

Anyone?

The R2 will give you the best throw for an aspheric. It's been awhile...but IIRC the pills are different depending on the input voltage. They are either one-cell or two-cell pills. You cannot install 2 cells in a light with the 1 cell pill. 1 cell in a 2 cell pill will not deliver full output.
