Of course if you are buying a sub $20 item you cant really expect mind boggling specs.

Even the best ones can disappoint without the proper "binning" or sorting by the manufacturer since LED's brightness vary a lot right off the assembly line. <br /><br />Another factor is the driver circuitry - the electronics that regulate the voltage to the LED. Poor quality circuitry can hamstring an otherwise excellent light. <br /><br />The brightest of the bright right now are supposed to be the P7 emitters, but I recently bought the wrong one! The emitter bin was wrong and the driver circuitry apparently substandard. It is no brighter than some smaller lights I own that have a "q5" emitter.<br /><br />On DX it pays to read the comments, especially with a $35USD flashlight, although it hurts a lot less than a $125 light!Bonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-88905804954235223562009-07-06T22:56:45.705-07:002009-07-06T22:56:45.705-07:00You're welcome.

(I don't know why I didn't spot the single-battery charger that you got.) <br /><br />I was impressed with the lumens output on the new batteries. I keep my flashlight set on strobe for tactical purposes. I figure that just using the strobe might stop and blind an attacker long enough for me to run away. If I need other settings, they're just a click or two away.McClarinJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237200661539297700noreply@blogger.com
