Received DX "$12.50" Cree module

[021411]

Took forever but I finally received my two DX Cree drop-in modules for my Surefire 9P. Both fired up. No DOA's here.
I'll get beamshots tonight and will post them up here. They are pretty dang bright. I can't screw the head all the way down. I'm going to try to take some of the reflector down with sandpaper and will report back.

Note: It also works in the Falcata 6V but the head can't screw down past the o-ring. I will need to mess with it also. It fires up and but is in no way shape or form ready for carry. I'll post beamshots also.

As soon as possible,would you confirm the drop in runtime with 3.6V CR123A ?

(Runtime: Approximately 2.5 hours to reach 50% light using an Ultrafire 2400mAh 18650 unprotected cell)

Thanks for the heads up on the 6V. I'm almost finished fitting the 9P. I'm "lapping" the reflector down with sandpaper. I'll post pics in a few minutes. Looks good so far.

Sorry no beam shots my camera just isn't up to the task. The green tint isn't too bad, just the luck or the draw, it is most noticeable when it is side by side with another light.

Thanks for reply Norm,ok.

Here's the fitting job I just completed. As you can see it was taken down quite a bit. It's fine now and the head is on tight as it should be. Modding took about 20 minutes using 240 grit sandpaper.

The before gap

After

The process..I just ran the reflector back and forth on the sandpaper until it was at the right height.

The difference.

:thanks: very :goodjob:


Any beamshots? :naughty:






(About 2x123 runtime ....)

2x123 means you use two of 3V, 1300mAH batteries
you get 6V x 1.3A = 7.8Watt

LED module consumes 700mA and around 3Watt

7.8Watt devide by 3watt = 2.6 hours

2.6 hours multiplied by 0.8 ( say 80% of circuit efficiency, rather than 92% max.)

= 2.08 Hours

Beamshots tonight! Can't wait until the sun sets.

How did you keep dust and metal from getting on the reflector?

I am guessing you sanded the reflector exit, large outlet, or whatever that end is called, LOL!
How about the end with no spring

In the past when sanding down reflectors what I have done is to blow the dust away using one of those compressed air cans used for cleaning keyboards. I figure wiping the reflector with something would jsut grind the dust in more and scratch the finish, but the compressed air seems to do the trick.

Trust me, it got dusty alright. Luckily I have an air compressor in the garage. That took care of the dust problem.

How bright is this drop in compared to other cree lights like d-mini and P1D CE etc...

The electrical control by U.S.A Digital control. ( Brightness stable )
Use Light Orange Peel aluminum reflector.
Input power:3.0V-4.2V
Use one 17670,18650 rechargerable battery for extra long runtime.
