Let me come at this from a different angle....is there any maufacturer who sells an R2 drop in driven harder than 1.2 amps?
Manufacturer? Nope, they wouldn't want to risk having hordes of people call in on the warranty because they were pushing the emitter beyond its spec.Let me come at this from a different angle....is there any maufacturer who sells an R2 drop in driven harder than 1.2 amps?

Great find!
I like that the optic is included in drop in and that it is actually in stock. Too bad Neo drives it at only one amp. At 1.2 amps I would think it would do better. I'd love to see the neo 1 amp R2 drop in as a beamshot next to the Malkoff M60...not that it's easy to FIND a Malkoff M60. That's Neo's big advantage.
I assume the R2 version out-throws the R4 version but the R4 is putting out a lot more lumens and an optic comes into play so I wonder which actually throws best?
Emm. They are XP-E R3 V.s. XP-G R5. And XP-E R3 has a better throw.
While XP-G R5 version has a higher current: 1.5 amp.
My mistake - sorry. I never heard of an R3 (duh). How does its size (led size) compare to an R2?
Do you have beamshots posted anywhere? Any idea of lux at 1m?
I just pmed the same questions to you so you may answer here if you prefer.
The XP-E R3 has a smaller optic than XR-E R2, while the die seems bigger than XR-E R2.
It throws worse than XR-E R2.
You have really narrowed down the options pretty tight. Regardless of whether it's custom or factory produced a SMO D26 reflector, is a SMO D26 reflector. They are all the same. The only option to you is the pill. And the Dereelight R2-1 mode is the strongest at 1.2 Amps. (mine measured 1.28 Amps) Last I looked (a month ago) everybody was out of stock. I had to buy mine direct from Dereelight in china. I bought it for an Aspheric project, but have no use for it now. It has maybe 10 minutes runtime on it. I have a pile of reflectors. PM me and I'll put it in the best throw reflector and ship it to you for $30 total. I just sold my M60 this week. It does not out-throw the Deree R2/D26.
And you don't build one with R2 right?

I was told the XR-E has been discontinued, so only the R2 can be found in market.
Perhaps Neo thinks that's not enough and that the XP-E and XP-G are a better choice for these drop-ins?

Which R2 were you referring to?I was told the XR-E has been discontinued, so only the R2 can be found in market.

There is an R2 BIN available with XR-E, XP-E, and XP-G LEDs.
