ordered dereelight V3 today

cordystoy · Jul 12, 2010

Ordered my V-3 today from Flashcrazy, he was very helpful. Really looking forward to it. No matter how much you read and see the little computer pictures actually getting the light is a blast.

This will be my first big thrower, I guess I'll ordering a bunch of batteries soon.

Fingers crossed you dont get a dirty / patchy lense.

Great light, very modular and seems to be built like a brick. What emitter did you get?

stallion2 · Jul 12, 2010

i love Dereelights and the couldn't have picked a better distributor than Jay, especially if they have only one dealer state-side. i bought my first DBS w/ two pills (MC-E and XR-E R2) and two reflectors and then bought an additional head and CL1H a week later so i could just swap heads back and forth rather then swapping reflectors and/or pills. i now have a Dereelight 'kit' in a small pelican box. w/ all the parts in their i could probably assemble 15 distinctly different lights. what emitter did you get?

I've had one for a couple weeks and I was blown away by the throw with the aspherical head.

Just got a Nailbender SST-50 pill for the DBSv3, what a beast! you will appreciate Dereelight's flexibility, great pick!!!

You are in deep trouble.

Those Dereelight hosts are so modular and you are going to soon realize that keeping it stock will be hard to do: its P60 compatible or at least the pills are.

congrats,

So how do you do this do you just order the pill "only" from Nailbender?

Darvis · Jul 12, 2010

Yes indeed, you just need to specify that it's for the DBSv3 and he'll set the correct height of the pill for you. The SST-50 is "drop in" size for the XR-E reflector.

Thanks I was going to ask about that as well.

Darvis · Jul 12, 2010

NP, just waiting for it to get dark here so I can see what it can do. Looks promising, the hot spot is very tight... Much tighter than my P60 SST-50 drop in... this thing should throw!

jhc37013 · Jul 12, 2010

Lets us know how it does I'm thinking or ordering one. Do you have the aspherical head you could try it with as well?

Darvis · Jul 12, 2010

I don't, just the R2 and my other P60 drop in. At first glance, the R2 hotspot is more defined, but this thing is not that much more floodier and is a whole heck of a lot brighter, and I mean by a large margin... As info, the Nailbender is a single level regulated for one 18650 and will be set in the standard XP-E smooth reflector

Darvis · Jul 12, 2010

Ok, got it out for a quick test. Extremely impressed, very extremely impressed.Wow. Does not throw quite as far (almost, though) as the XP-E, but it is a HUGE bright tunnel of light with impressive sidespill to boot, along the lines of the M1X but in a MUCH more compact package and on a single 18650. WAY out throws the same LED with the P60 reflector.

jhc37013 · Jul 12, 2010

Thanks for the report I'm thinking hard about getting the pill.

If you do the regulated 2.8 amp 3 mode is the way to go IMO.

Thanks and I have already eyeballed nailbenders thread to figure out this much. IIRC the direct drive pills are brighter but I got to have regulated, even at the cost of lumens. Even if both was DD I like multi modes whenever possible.

It's taunting you. You are weak. Submit the order.

jhc37013 · Jul 12, 2010

haha, indeed I'm very week especially for quality stuff.

ODatsBright · Jul 13, 2010

I love my DBS w/ SST-50 Nailbender 3 mode pill. Awesome combination! Now I just don't know what to do with the MC-E and R2 pills I have.
