R2 P60 $15.50 @ DX!

[warlord]

Just FYI, the R2 P60 drop-in is available at dealextreme for $15.50. Not much info there, of course. Input range 3.7-18v.

*edit* I see it was posted in the drop in module list already.

I just went for it! I have a feeling that the price is going to go up later.

any ideas on brightness or runtime? 117-225 is a big spread.

 

[techwg]

Yeah, it should after you remove the large outer spring.

And in this thread. PM a mod to merge?

Anybody received it? Mine just showed up but I have no light with me to test it.

Vikas, please let us know how it compares to the Q5 0-100% 3-mode (actually 15 modes in 6 groups) which, according to Mev at LightReviews, is as bright as a Fenix T1 and has great runtimes. It is my understanding that the R2 isn't driven as hard as this module and may not be as bright.

+1 vote to merge this thread with the other one.

My order was placed on 3/27
Shipped from DX on 3/29
Hong Kong tracking says it left HK on 4/1

So mines somewhere on/over the Pacific by now.

I don't have a Q5 for comparison... only a P4
:thumbsup:

I'm still waiting for mine ! I have ordered quite few of the R2 LED Lamps for my assorted Surefire lights.

It is $12.59 at KD.

It is $12.59 at KD.

And I think it's the exact same module, so I bought a few from them!

What about the reflector?

Is it made of aluminium or is it just plastic?

 

[M.S]

I got mine yesterday. It's not any brighter than solarforce Q5 dropin and the tint is worse... Sorry, no time for pictures now.

I think this one might be one of the brighter ones for under $20-. It's a bit complicated though.

Not sure about Solarforce.

Do let us know if they're actually in stock as claimed.
