Wolf Eyes cree drop-in

[cheapo]

wow. ho is dimmer than lo.

 

[m1match]

I placed my order with PTS as a pre-order- the website said they weren't available. Apparently they got some in because I got my order within a week.

I got the D26 3.7V-13V drop ins. I also got the spring for Surefires and the unit with spring was a perfect fit and function in my C2 and G2Z. As far as I can tell they work and are regulated with a single AW 17670.

Thanks. You say that the 130 lumens Cree is regulated. Good news.
I have ordered and waiting both 130 and 170 lumens new Cree from W-E.

Hope the 170 lumens is regulated too.
Because I plan to use it in W-E D2AX + 18650.

130 lumens will take place in Surefire M2 + 17670.

If someone could cofirm that the 170 lumen Cree is regulated too, I will be glad.

I believe that if you go nito the site (Search for "Cree") and bring the selection up....then go to "description".....and Mike has the run times for different battery configurations including the length of time under regulation and after they drop out. VERY useful information and I think you will find answers to almost all of your questions there. As I recall both lampa ssembles are regulated.

 

[jumpstat]

Could somebody post some beamshots of these WE cree drop in, please?

Cree XR-E LED 3.7V-13V D26 Lamp *High Output*

The new Cree LED is the most advanced LED on the market so far. This new lamp is perfect for weapons mounting and makes an almost indestructible duty light for Law Enforcement.

Specifications:



Cree HO 3.7V-13V D26/ D36 lamp assembly

• Output: 170 lumens
• Voltage: 3.7V-13V
• Runtime (2-CR123A batteries): 90 minutes with regulated output, and 8 hours with unregulated output.
• Runtime (3-CR123A batteries): 180 minutes with regulated output, and 14 hours with unregulated output.
• Runtime (4-CR123A batteries): 270 minutes with regulated output, and 16 hours with unregulated output.
• Runtime (2-LRB150A batteries): 160 minutes with regulated output
• Runtime (3-LRB150A batteries): 270 minutes with regulated output
• Runtime (1-LRB168A batteries): 100 minutes with regulated output

Hope these specs are true.

From information posted in the Dealers Corner, it appears the HO 170 lumen version regulates from 4.8 volts on up (not 3.7 as listed by MFG) - according to the current measurements. This would also coorelate to the MFG listing only runtimes with 2 or more cells with the HO 170 lumen version

I hope the 130 lumen version is regulated for use with one cell like the times provided by the MFG suggest. It would be cool if we could see current readings for this module to confirm.

 

[Quinn_Inuit]

I see, thanks. I'll get ahold of PTS tomorrow and place an order.

 

[depusm12]

I'm contemplating buying one of these for my SF M2 to use as a duty light once I get the M2 bored out for 18650's. Beamshots please. This thread is useless without beamshots. Does the reflector actually have a Light Orange Peel finish? The pictures on Pacific Tactical Solutions website show a smooth reflector.

• Output: 170 lumens
• Voltage: 3.7V-13V
• Runtime (1-LRB168A batteries): 100 minutes with regulated output

170 lumens Cree is supposed to be regulated 100 minutes with single 18650.

Hi Regulator, Wolf Eyes have 6 different Crees so it can get very confusing at the moment. I would ask the person you are purchasing from the specs of that one, as they vary a bit.

 

[Flash007]

Until now, I know there is :


- Cree 3,7V-6V 130 lumens smooth reflector (first batch)
- Cree 3,7V-6V 130 lumens light OP reflector (first batch)
- Cree 9V 130 lumens (first batch)

- Cree 3,7V-13V 130 lumens light OP reflector (actual new production I have ordered)
- Cree 3,7V-13V 170 lumens light OP reflector (actual new production I have ordered)
I don't think there is other version of the Cree module from Wolf Eyes.

When I'll receive my order, I'll do some test (1x18650/17670, 2x18500, 2xRCR123) for each module (130 and 170 lumens), and keep you informed.

End of next week probably.

I hope at least the 130 lumens version is regulated with single 18650/17670.
Strange about the 170 lumens HO Cree, because it's said regulated for 100 minutes with single 18650 cell on the specs.

Yup, depusm12, I can confirm that the Wolf Eyes 130 lumens Cree drop-in has an orange peel reflector. I've got mine in a SF G2 with regular 123A batteries. It makes the P60 bulb look pitifully weak in comparison. I don't have a P61, so I can't post beamshots of that vs. the Wolf Eyes Cree, which is a much more relevant comparison. Anyone?

 

[jumpstat]

Output wise, is the WE-130 lumens brighter than Litemania's or Calvinmo28's 6 mode drop in? . A beamshot of them would be better. TIA

I don't see all these Cree info items on the PTS website ??

With exception to the WE Cree drop in, the rest are being sold by CPF'er namely Calvinmo28 & Litemania, in the Dealer Section of CPF

I was blown away by the WE 130 lumen D26 3.7-6v in my SF 6P until I put a DealExtreme $12.50 Cree in my G2. Even on a 18650, the DX Cree is considerably brighter and out throws the WE D26. Granted the build quality isn't nearly as good, and it may burn out tomorrow, but for the price it's a hell of a deal.

Just my two cents, others may have had different results.

That is interesting. Anyone else care to comment on this? For me LED are solid state, if it works it should work I reckon. If it was bulbs built quality do count though.

 

[PhantomPhoton]

I can comment that the DX Cree Drop-in (the $12.50 one I think) that I received a week and a half ago is absolutely amazing. It far exceeded my expectations. Unfortunately I don't have a wolf eyes to compare it to nor do I have a shoebox tester to compare it against a knowwn light. But against my Jetbeam MkIIx running a 14500 on 100% in advanced mode it is significantly brighter, not only in the spot but the spill as well. I definitely got a good one.

 

[tomcat017]

wow. ho is dimmer than lo.

Well, that's not good. Several people have mentioned this. Beamshots would be really helpful I guess...like a WE cree LO / WE cree HO / P61 / DX cree / MkIIx.

Anybody happen to own all of those? :candle:
