Im looking for the smallest, brightest light.60-300 lumens. I like the DQG fairy, but cant seem to find it for sale. I also like the DQG bullet because it has the click activation instead of the twist, but its too long. SO the big question. Is there any lights as small as the DQG fairy but with button?? Thanks
Yes I originally bought the fairy from that site, and I received an email saying that they didn’t have the product in stock. And yes the DQG spy is the probably the next one ill buy.
I’ve also used the 602C as a host, and you’re right that it’s great, but, from the thread discussion, I think that the OP was looking for something much smaller. I myself didn’t realize that until I saw the later posts :(.
Yep, I put a 2.2K ohm resistor on the RProg of a bunch of mine…get 500mA~ output all day long, an RProg resistor of 10K will give you a minimum of 180mA
I was looking for DQG choices too at the best price and one website was down. So I managed to buy some direct from the maker on TaoBao without knowing any Chinese. Both the Spy and Fairy are there, and the Spy has some discounted blemished ones(afaik it’s the textured part or lacks the same shine). I just placed the order, so hopefully it won’t be too long to get them.
The emitter/PCB was a perfect fit for the host; I used a cone-shaped diamond bit to slighly enlarge the reflector opening, and it perfectly seated around the emitter dome. It's a twisty, not a clicky, but it's still crazy-bright using my old Trustfire 14500s. I would love to see it with one of the Efest high-current cells...
Runtime is low... Tailcap current is unknown due to the design of the host, but it gets very hot very quickly, and brightness drops noticeably due to the thermal sag... Total flooder though... Not much of a thrower. Tiny reflector +OP +XM-L2 ≠ long throw.
