Thanks old. Those UF RL series lights have always looked nice.......but I wasn't too keen on their Osram emitters. They definitely look like they're worth a second look now that they have upgraded them.

Nice review I have my eye on that or the C303

Old4570 can you do beam shots with other XPG lights please.

Can't see the low mode image.

Thanks for the review ;) Would be nice to see some wall beamshots comparison, other R5 or Q5.

Pictures = Might be a high load on the picture host , works for me though . [ hosted by imageshack ] Maybe click the little link and see if you can see it on imageshack .

Beams , ill take some tonight , but the beam is very XR-E like due to the reflector in the RL-198 .. [ something I thought a lot of people might be interested in ]

Low current , XR-E style beam , good hotspot ..

But I will include some XP-G shots tonight , + XR-E , for comparison .

Temp issue, works now

IE Seems to work ok , + Chrome works fine ... What browser are you using ?

Try Jayki.com for this review , or maybe a different browser .

12

IE and Firefox the same, in another imageshack pic from a DX's thread got the same, maybe is like tinypic some months ago which block some areas... I can enter the site using it normally

I'm not alone, check it

Have you tried cleaning your cookies and temp files?

BTW, can't see any spill :O Comparing to R2 and R5 :|

15

it's fixed now

Look at the wall , and the shadows on the ground ..

Check out and compare hotspots ..

The RL-198 really pushes the light forward with a narrower than normal beam profile ..

If you compare the XR-E and XP-G R5 C1 , you will see the XR-E has a more intense and concentrated hotspot while the C1 lights things up more evenly ..

So those that like to push light forward , should like the RL-198 .. + The C1 is about 350ish on the Lumens and pulls over 2A with a fresh cell .

The 501 pulls over 1.5A with a fresh cell , and does about 270L + depending on the battery used .

old4570, where did you get the Ultrafire C1 XP-G R5?

18

Mine came from KD , initially there were problems that needed sorting out ...

Review on Jayki , but once sorted , it has been a very reliable light , I reach for it often ..

Only thing I dont care for is the high current on high , over 2A with a decent battery .

Ive been using the RL-198 , and I like it very much , the C1 does not have mode memory , always starts on high , which is good some times , but may annoy the neighbors .

So sometimes , a light starting on Low is more sensitive ...

We'll have to take your word for it.

All but one of the images are overexposed and there is no exif info attached. I find them difficult to compare.

Nice shed though.

Thanks old4570 - did a search - no luck. I found it on DinoDirect but from what I've read, I'll pass on them.

Manual exposition or automatic white ballance?

Even so, interesting result. So RL-198 will throw better than C1, right? (both with R5)
