New Light,my choice-Dereelight CH1 V4,SolarFenix TK11 R2force L2P

[Koevoet]

Hi everybody, I've been reading this forum so now an again for the past 2 years, actually since i bought my Fenix P3D i got interested in pocket lights,these small blinding pocket rockets really got my attention.
i work with the fire department myself so light for me,workwise is really important.For private use i have need the Lumens for my bike,car,home and camping.
I currently own a P3D,L2D,Ultrafire WB-503B,Petz Tactikka.

But i needed something else for my bike,something with a good runtime and al lot of Brightness and throwing power..
Because of my daily use (cycling to work and back home again (2 hours) i need something sustainable.

I used my Fenix L2D for this in the beginning but wanted something stronger,more light output.So i changed to my P3D but this was only possible with rechargeable batteries.
I bought the Ultra fire WF-139 and 4 RCR123 600 ma
My P3D last only a disappointing 30 minutes,and becuase it a pain to reload the fenix with fresh batteries during my bike ride i wanted something else.

First i was hoping that 18650 batteries would fit my P3D,but they dont..
So i started looking for a new light small and compact with alot of power.

I ended up with 3 best options,wich where:

- Fenix TK11 R2
- Solarforce L2P
- Dereelight CH1 V4 with a XP-G R5 light bulb

The Fenix Dropped out as soon as i found out about the p60 drop ins,wich means that if a new and more powerful led would come out i could easily upgrade my light without having to buy a new one.
The Solarforce also is able to be a p60 host, but the design and Dimensions of the Dereelight are more to my wishes.
The Solarforce is L140 x 32 x 25 and the Dereelight L128 x 34 25 x 27
So thanks To all the useful topics, beam shot comparings etc, etc, on this forum, And all of u that keep this forum alive i could make up my choice..
So Again thank you all for your Help..

i'm a huge Dereelight fan also...the DBS line is my bread and butter year round. i've got one CL1H and i like it. works w/ every P60 setup i've ever tried on it, and w/ having to add nothing more than a small ring of copper wire. i like that its compact but its still a little heavy for its size. i did end up taking a Dereelight XP-G pill and using it w/ my C2 w/ a reflector from an altogether separate DX dropin. results have been outstanding. P60 versatility is great, Dereelight sweetens the deal even more.
