I finally got my DL125 from Stephan today. the delay was USPS shipping instead of UPS -- I was getting worried...... It arrived in like new condition - Good to see a seller on this forum who delivers.
Anyway, I have a DL95 and now the DL125 - Brothers.... Time to see which one "swings" better.
Model Total mW (Peak) mW 10 seconds mW IR
DL95 132 mW 85 mW 0.24 mW
DL125 126 mW 85 mW 0.25 mW
DX200 192 mW 137 mW 10.9 mW
It looks like I got a "sweetheart 95" 6 months ago. All testing was with e2 cells and I limited the test to 10 seconds because of battery slump with AAA cells.
Power tests made with the LPM-1 meter and verifed with a calorimeter type meter.
While the DX200 has more power total, it has a larger beam and has a limited "burn" range of 2 -4 feet. It does appear slightly brighter at night. The DX also has something on the lens inside which I can't clean. It gives a herringbone pattern scatter around the output.
The DL "pointers" have the same start-up signature (peak/slump) which I will draw when I have a plotter.
