Help with a good light for throw....

[Brian321]

I have a dereelight DBS Cree XP-G R5, Im not really impressed with how it throws(maybe i expect to much:shrug:). But i am wondering is there anything that is around the same size(maybe a little bigger) that throws better and is a tad bit brighter?

Dereelight Aspherical Lens should provide all the throw you need!!!

Anything designed for throw with an XR-E.

i feel your pain. i have a bunch of Dereelight pieces, enough to make 3 DBS's at one time and was rather disappointed w/ their XP-G setup. the pill itself is awesome...i WAS using it in my C2 until i crushed the pill when reinstalling w/ a new P60 reflector. anyways, you might as well try and get your hands on a DBS SMO for the XR-E and an XR-E pill. that light is great for throw w/ those pieces but not really useful for much else. the aspheric housing is pretty cool also. in the meantime you can drill the opening on your DBS XP-G reflector to about 0.25" or so and the beam quality should look smoother, rings should at least dissipate somewhat but it won't do much for output. Flashcrazy and i have done this and it was an improvment. a lot of people are also talking up the Eagletac XP-G equipped lights right now.

I believe anything with a reflector will disappoint you....you probably need something with an optic....

To the OP; If a DBS disappoints you, you are going to have a hard time finding joy.

Aspherical is what you need to look into.
