Im in!

Why am i reminded of a light built from a bicycle pedal?

Yes, why three indeed?

Do we know if all 3 versions share the same driver?

[Gj1 (Gj)]

To the best of my knowledge there's only one base unit, you can buy it with or without extension tubes. I have a 1 cell and a 3 cell version from WB, either base unit works with 1,2 or 3 cells without visible output variation.

[FlashPilot]

Thanks Gj.

[Tom_E]

+1 same here. Pretty sure the 1 cell versions I bought from WB were with buck driver circuitry. The 2 cell might make a nice MT-G2 host with a zener mod driver. Not sure of the reflector opening - will check this eve.

@FlashPilot

They do. I just bought four of them from WB and they are all identical. Only difference among the samples was one had orange o-rings instead of red.

Speaking of the light, I did some measurements last night, and the emitter shelf is up to 8mm thick! I’ll take some pictures of the light and post them here… now just to figure out how.

These have an XM-L2 T6, correct? What’s the tint like?

Cool white, looks identical tint to a stock DST on my living room ceiling just now.

Thanks. And it XM-L*2*?

[ChibiM]

Thanks MrsDNF!!! And cnq.

It look like we don't have to wait for a minimum amount of interested people right?

Mrsdnf, maybe you could link to 1 or a few reviews, mods, so people can get more excited.

My Yezl Y3 Has Arrived!

I am talking about this light in case you have been wondering about it or are curious. Pics and a review will follow. It just came in the mail this morning. I am truly happy with it. It has a larger and deeper reflector than an HD2010 and appears to throw further while being…brighter?? Yes, brighter! Well, it looks it, but the beam is also visibly tighter, too. Tonight will tell the tale! It’s also lighter than the HD2010 and is a wonder to hold in the hand, which can’t but be a plus. And might…

The Yezl's are XM-L2, the DST is XM-L.

This was bought as a single cell - note the big inductor for buck circuitry. Nice flat pill top, single piece uni-body style and easy access to the pill top. Massively thick pill top I might add...

In this thread: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/24076, post #77 has stock measurements I made, post #86 has the prelim mod #'s and post #117 had final #'s, after the UCLp upgrade. My #'s may be a little high (optimistic?) but I use the very best cell I have, actually the Powerizer may be the best cell in existence - too bad you can't buy them anymore.
