i could have sworn some a lot more people ordered this drop-in (all of first batch was ordered up, in the 40 plus units at least)... especially several respected forum members who do all sorts of testing.... oh well... waiting for more inputs and comments...

I tested the first batch of Cree drop-in.
Used my 6A/168a

I got 3+hours with little or no dimming.As per my gear 120L out the front.


On 123a ( primary) I got 2 hours full power then it slowly dimmed for 1+more.


Best I have tested by far : lumens per run time.

Also Tested quite a few diffusers on same light.When diffued with Frosty con-tact paper this light is a L4 killer.

Of all the current cree lights this combo is hands down my favorite.


My 2cents

I bought the sniper with the cree drop-in. Couldn't be happier. I also bought a 150 lumen incandescent drop in and ran them back to back and I decided to stick with the cree. The versatility olf running the fantastic 168A rechargeable or 2 X 123 is great also. Can't wait for the 1 amp drop in.

very reliable module. I accidentally shorted it out with two 18650s and it still worked. Also, it has a lot of mass that helps dissapate heat.

I had one for a brief moment as I soon realized it was a smooth reflector one that I got instead of the orange peeled one I wanted/expected.

It's robust and seems to have good build quality. The only thing I don't understand is why at the outside face tip of the reflector, it's one step lower, thus when mounted in a SF, it touches/sits on the lens, whereas my other Wolf Eyes bulbs never did that.

Oh and it DOES work with the G2.

It'd be great if the next one could handle 3-8 volts, so it would be ok with a pair of 18650s.

Just the thing I was looking for... sounds promising and thus i feel better with purchasing the module for a light i'd already have. thanks FASTCAR!!!

Hi Vermonter73,
Ok, how does 3.7V to 13V sound? There will be two versions; 700mA standard to use with SureFire flashlights and others, and a HO Cree running at 1000mA meant for Wolf Eyes only since these will heat up a little if not run in a Wolf Eyes body.
The D36 will run at 1000mA+ and work in the 6M, 9D, M90 and M9013V

Thus, 2 versions for D26 : 700mA and 1000mA.
Runtime with 18650, if you know ?
And approximate lumens with each module ?
D36 : 1000mA+.

Excellent work from W-E.

That sounds great Mike! Any word on availability?

Can somebody who has the WE module measure the diameter of the outermost tip of the reflector from edge to edge? I'm not looking for the diameter of the wider ring slightly behind the tip of the module which, rather the edge.

Hey Mike do you think you can measure one for me?

The reason is, I think if I can add an o-ring in the front rim area, the module won't press on the lens.

side note: Mike did you get my PM about the reversal? Sorry for all that.

I'm wainting impatiently for the D26 700mA and 1000mA Cree drop-in.

Hope the regulation is perfect, even @ 3,7V. Very important.
Both modules are OK for use within 3,7V - 13V range.
Correct ?

Mike, do you have an idea about the availability ?
And maybe you can give more details about the new drop-in.

Thanks

I, too, am curious about the new module. Do you know if there will be a 1000mA version for the 6ax? I'd like to buy a flashlight that runs on 123s.

Mike (PTS) said that there will be 2 versions for D26 module :
- 700mA Cree
- 1000mA Cree (high output)

Both with 3,7v-13v voltage compatibility.

D36 module will be 1000mA+.
