Somebody tell me what is wrong with my new Deree Aspheric head....When the die image is focused to it's smallest size it is still 1.5-1.7 times the area of the Tiablo image area. (over 1.25 x 1.25)There is no way the Deree is a better thrower then the A9A. Deree does use a more powerful R2 drop-in driven to 1.2 amps. (320-330 lumens?) Tiablo uses a Q5 driven to 255 lumens. The tiablo still beats it. I've seen numbers that indicate the Dereelight is a better thrower. Just can't be. Best case is the A9A is 240 lumens, and lets assume a 1.4 times area disadvantage for the dereelight. That would require at least 330-340 lumens for the Deree to match it. Of course an upgrade to the A9 to an R2 would add at least 7-8% to it's output. The Tiablo is also a much cleaner image with much less rainbow around the edges. Anybody else out there ever actually try the two lights side-by-side?
