New Veleno Designs Quantum DD

[Espionage Studio]

I got an email last night from Steve Ku, interesting little light here. The email I received is this:

Hello,
Sorry for the lack of updates.
I’ve been busy assembling the Quantum DD, a lower priced version of the DD series mini lights.
Illumination Supply in California is handling retail sales.
Each package includes:
1 Quantum DD mini light
1 10180 battery
1 USB charger
1 split ring
1 spare o-ring

They are available here:

Re: New Veleno Designs Qauntum DD

Does this DD have a low voltage shutoff circuit to protect this unprotected battery from being over-discharge?

Re: New Veleno Designs Qauntum DD

It's a simple direct-drive light (hence the "DD" in the name). There's no circuit there, but, from what I understand, there's no damage done to the cell from over discharge.

Re: New Veleno Designs Qauntum DD

I got mine today. I really hate going to Craig's place because he shows me all these really cool lights and I almost always walk away buying way more than I was hoping to. Today was no exception!

I hope the international export of lithium batteries from the US gets lifted soon. Because that's a great little light but without being able to get the whole package that battery is a PITA to find elsewhere

Re: New Veleno Designs Qauntum DD

Problem is, I have always wanted an original 40DD.
I consider this...... A Kno***ff of the original

I think this is wrong. If its a lithium
Ion battery, over discharge will definitely damage it.

There are many lights with Li that are direct driven including the Lummi Wee

That does not mean care should not be observed with regards to li-ion use, it should. Overcharge or over-discharge on the battery will damage it as gunga has stated.

I really like the usb charger, looks like a effective way to charge that little battery.

it will damage it, yep, but due to the energy content of such a small cell the danger is quite a bit less.
not to worry, international distribution will be solved very soon.

This thing is freakin' awesome!! I really didn't know what to expect, but any expectations I had are exceeded by a mile. Cool little package, amazingly quick shipping from Craig. This has a really stable QTC pill in it - the low is REALLY low - and the high is really nice and bright and floody. I couldn't help but put it next to my Spy 007 for comparison, and it's a cool comparison. I'm really, really pleased. Nice tint - solid build quality -nice beam. It's going on my key ring right away and I'll be buying more. I already have another battery on the way from Craig.


IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE, GET OFF THE FENCE AND GO FOR IT. This is an amazing little package. Thanks Craig and Steve!!!
A few iPhone photos, taken in the joy of the moment...

Right at home on my key ring...charger just to the right..
