By the way the conversion of the Dereelight DBS V3 aspheric to an XP-G2 S4 2B with a FET driver is complete. I’ll be testing output soon. No collar yet.
I did my nightmaster v2 (same 50mm lenses as in old DBS) with same IO XP-G2 S4 2B emitter driven at 3,85A nanjg, and I got 280 kcd. But I had pleasure to choose among over 200 same batch lenses.
My fingers crossed. Please report.
I like “Budget Lights”. :bigsmile:
216kcd without a collar. I’m thinking my meter is a low reader though. If it really does read 20% low then it’s more like 260kcd. It’s higher than a Jax Z1 measures with an XP-G2 on my meter(204kcd @ 4.6A with S3 3C).
Hmm... Tailcap switch bridge is hard in this flashlight I don't know if you managed to do it? It should bump performance for 20%.
You’re not kidding about it being hard, I managed to bridge from the top to bottom of the spring but wasn’t willing to unglue the board from the brass ring so I could solder it to the board directly. That was done before measuring.
Considering that it’s probably pushing almost an amp less current to the emitter than the Jax Z1 I mentioned, the higher output is impressive.
Yes. That switch is weakest point of this flashlight. I don't know if you could try properly bridged switch from other flashlight?
Or maybe you could do this mod (drill through brass switch holder):
This flashlights should push more lux than that... Saabluster had his own(Osts Nightmasters) that did 200kcd with 1,8A driven XP-E2.

Lens view of lights.
Updated price drops.
Received the UniqueFire UF-F10 this morning. I’m happy with it. Nice little light.
I’m going to be leaving town for about 2 weeks as of Monday at 6am. If anyone is thinking about a light, pull the trigger soon because shipping will be on hold from 6pm 6-28-15 through 10am 7-10-15.
Received my beautiful L2R at a great deal!
Thank you!
Now to find a smooth bezel to replace the ugly crenellated bezel. LOL
More than half of the PM’s I’ve gotten have been about the Solarforce L2X. I haven’t sold it because I had no idea what it’s current value is, but thanks to jmpaul320 selling one in a couple hours I at least have an idea now. Maybe if I sell it people will pay more attention to what is actually listed for sale.
Solarforce L2X, in original box, with a 1 mode Solarforce 3-18v XP-G2 R5 high output dropin. It’s in perfect condition.
Let’s start at $90 shipped USPS Priority. First I’ll take it gets it.
Picture of the L2X and box.
You might do well to list the L2x in the title
You’re not kidding. Pretty much everything I’ve listed at 50-60% of retail (or retail and upgrades) if it’s in like new condition, and it’s like a graveyard. I’m wondering if I’ll even make my money back in a year. I definitely won’t if my time is factored in.
Some of the group lights have sold. Anything that sells in the next 8 hours will ship today, anything after that will be after 7-9-15 when I get back from Florida.
Today only price on the L2X, $75 shipped.
How much are you willing to part with the P20a2?
