UK SL4 LED w/cree R2 and LEDs for halcyon scout

[jjblomquist]

How does the R5 beam compare to the R2? I want to keep the beam tight for mucky water conditions. Also, are cr123 batteries worth using with either the R2 or R5 and how would you fit a cr123 in an SL6?

The Hot spot on the R5 is twice the size as the R2 giving it more Lumens. The spill out on both are the same size but the R5 is twice as bright. I have dove both lights in 8ft to 25ft vis here the averge day here is 15ft vis. They both do great. With the SL6 you have 9volts and thats good for both LEDs. I have used the cr123 3.7v in a SL4 it takes 6 = 22.2 volts it works but they don't last long and burn up easly. If your after a rechageable batterie option. Look at AA batteries and a C batterie converter. I have some on order but have not tried it yet.
If you check on Ebay I have some beam shot pics. send me a PM when you are ready to buy. Thanks

Bought the R2 from you, now I guess i've got to give the R5 a try. Is the 3 c-cell configuration in the scout enough power to run it?

Yes you can run the R5 in the 3C scout. Burn time should be 3.5 to 4 hrs. Thanks
