Looks good
i am wondering if you guyz really enjoy(ed) the DQG 18650 with 1000 copies sold?
still enjoying it, did it live up to your expectations, or has it become unexpectedly fast a dust collector in the storage drawer? me observing after people had received their units all discussions on all forums stopped all of a sudden seemed like and i heard sincere comments on the product thru pm which they didn't want to post in public in orda not to rain the buying spree rocking the boat who does that.
i don't buy a new handbag or a new pair of shoes only because the maker has released a bigger shoe. if 1000 people buy the bigger handbag and continue to rave about it for say 4 months then it maybe a long-term enjoyable product yes and this fact would make me interested in some apparent "special quality" of the product.
well there are girls who take a good look in the mirror and collect handbags and shoes i agree ya why not so go ahead throw da money :)
Well put Kollege. Only thing is I did not kauf a DQG 18650 so if I kauf this one, I am still froh. I did not waste geld.
Just let me know when your better bigger battery charger is here so I can buy a couple. Cheers.
The light should be good if it takes protected cells and has memory. One can only hope.
i don’t need it,i want it
Pretty compact. ;)

only miss up front picture
If World War II ended in a tie... :evil:
Each XPG driven at 1.4A.
That's respectable, and is good enough for an EDC. If there was a slimmer 18650 version I'd get it, I need the smaller size!
Looks really interesting!
My wish list for changes, in priority order:
1. Quoting leaftye: "The low mode should be lower.", about 2% should be fine
2. Add lowlow mode of 0.1 .. 0.2% (not a moonlight, but 1-2lm)
3. 3D tint instead of 3B
4. Tailcap design with longitudinal lines breaks the harmony of this light. Please consider similar knurling than in head. Something like this, but thinner:
Here's some rough calculations for "perfect" mode spacing:
Basic data | ||||
Emitter count | 3 | pcs | ||
Drive current / emitter | 1400 | mA | ||
Total current | 4200 | mA | x3 | |
Mode spacing | ||||
High | 100 | % | ||
Med | 30 | % | ||
Low | 2 | % | ||
Lowlow | 0.2 | % | ||
Cell used | 4200 | mAh | King kong or similar | |
Approximate runtimes | ||||
High | 1 | h | ||
Med | 3 | h | ||
Low | 50 | h = | 2 | days |
Lowlow | 500 | h = | 21 | days |
Approximate output | ||||
XP-G at 1400mA | 441 | lm | From CREE charts | |
Total | 1323 | lm | x3 | |
Efficiency (approximated) | 80 | % | Optical & electrical efficiency combined | |
Approximate OTF lumens | ||||
High | 1,058 | lm | ||
Med | 318 | lm | ||
Low | 21 | lm | ||
Lowlow | 2 | lm |
Just keep in mind that most drivers are very inefficient at low currents and you could assume under 50%.
i would love this in warm white… will take neutral though
Thanks for correcting me. The table is just a very rough estimate for starting a discussion..
Yes, lets keep the discussion on this light. I am keen to find out more.
It looks interesting.
I forsee me being roughly $42 less well off in the very near future. I too wish it was 3d tint or one of the hi cri bins but i guess that just means I’ll have something to do.
The qlite mode spacing on star four would suit me, but otherwise, 26650, nw xp-g2, its ticking boxes for me that’s for sure.
I bought the DQG 18650 XM-L2 and ended up selling it. The only cells I could fit in it were Trustfire flame 18650’s and I don’t have enough trust in those cells to keep them that near my twig and 2 berries. It wasn’t a bad light, but it just felt cheap to me. I imagine this will suffer the same fate. CNQG has shown they can make a great light with the BTU Shocker, but sadly, I think my desire for cheaply constructed lights has shrunk as my interest in this hobby has grown.
i want try a triple XP-G2!…where can i buy this flashlight?
