Probably, since the E0 has better regulation than the Arc CS. The Arc starts out brighter, but the E0 is brighter for most of the runtime. I suspect that it won't be longer than a few more months before they upgrade to a DS or better. Personally, my LOD Q4 has already spoiled me and I probably won't buy an upgraded E0.

Every-time I'm about to take the leap and get a LOD Q4, I come to my senses just thinking about having to scroll through all those modes just to get to low changes my mind. If it would just remember the "low" mode, I would be all over the LOD Q4.

I can't wait to someone mods an EO with a DS LED and post some beam shots.

On the LOD-CE Q4 you start on medium, twist off, twist on and you're in low. Only 1 mode to skip over.

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense than the memory modes on my Jetbeam and Rexlight. I wished that the LOD started out in low though, but it's is a whole lot better than I first thought.

I'm interested in splitting an order. I'm confused though what would we be buying DS in a V bin?

I'm looking to replace the 5mm LEDs in my APEX pro. From what I've gathered, they are Nichia CS and I wonder if replacing them with these DS models will gain much output?

I have a PM to WeLight - am awaiting a response. I will PM you when I get the details.

I just ordered 100 from Mark. I will probably keep somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 and sell the rest. Cheers,

Paul

I guess I'll be modding my ArcAAAs. BS-CS-DS :)
