Qlite also runs from low to high
not high to low
1st Star : 2% - 25% 100% (Default)
2nd Star : 5% - 30% - 100% - Strobe (10Hz) - Beacon (cycle: 2Hz blink, 4seconds light off)
3rd Star : 15% - 100%
4th Star : 20mA - 2% -25% -100%
I think these other lights start on high ........which I don't like

+1 Hint hint to _the_ ;)
XinTD X3 is already very affordable ($31.72 for U2-1A with coupon blf ) so they won't go any lower. [Tried hard. Didn't help. Sorry!]
Edit: Tried once more, might help, please wait..
Edit2: Helped a little. See below. :)

XINTD X3 are all Tint options XML2?
other lights explicitly say XML2 T6 4C.. while this one says XML T6 4C...
just wondering

Oh, and the Qlite also uses 8x380mA regulators= 3Amps on high
Regular nanjg 105C normally use 8x 350mA regulators= 2,8A (it could be using 380mA)
Do you think this will make much of a difference in final output?

XinTD X3 U2-1A for $31.03 (with coupon bgf141 )
ChibiM: It says XM-L2 in every place on that page, and Neal just confirmed me that all tints are XM-L2.
sb: You won't notice it. :)

Just look at the XinTD pictures, there’re Simon Mao’s mark. Should be not bad, Convoy-XinTD X3 or XinTD-Convoy X3

Side by side, barely, but without both to compare with, not at all.

Hmm, my only reservation about buying the Xintd X3 is that the reviews mention that it doesn’t work with protected Li-Ions because of the longer length of the cells. I strongly prefer protected cells, so that’s kind of a downside.

3,04A-2,80A=0,24A extra.
In real life the difference is more like 0,15A extra based on what I have seen. (due to 350mA 7135s usually overperform, and the 380mA sometimes underperform. Qlite might also have a tad of PWM on high)
0,15A difference is close to nothing.. Its about 5% more current. Which probably is no more than 4% more light on high..
Thanks for the coupon code _the_.. Tempting, tempting... Im not supposed to buy this light...

I have ordered the extendable baton, it is irresistible price.
I am not happy with SK68 clones I have received from BG. May be this time they will do good.

Regarding those X3 tints, can anyone give me a short description which tint is what?!
T4-7A
T5-5B
T6-3B
T6-4C
U2-1A
I figured I'd make a guide related to XM-Ls and tint, binning, CRI, and all the other details I can think of.
Tint
There are 3 basic tints.
Cool White is a very pure white and is what most lights are. This generally has a low CRI (color rendition index) and will not show colors that well. Some people say that it is to blue. It is generally around 6000k.
Neutral White is considered to be one of the better tints as it still seems fairly white, but does have a higher CRI. It …
I found this pretty informative.

Agreed, there’s another “ANSI-chart” here, a bit easier to read the text. File:Ansi-white.jpg - Flashlight Wiki

That's what I always use. However, flashlightwiki doesn't like hotlinking, so here's a link to the page: http://flashlightwiki.com/File:Ansi-white.jpg

For a description of those tints, basically, this is what I have found:
7A = very warm
5B = neutral, tending towards yellow
3B = neutral, tending towards cool
4C = neutral, tending towards red (this one is described as very pleasant by many)
3C = standard “neutral” tint (not available for the Xintd for some reason, but probably the most common tint described as “neutral”)
1A = standard “cool” tint (by far the most common tint on most flashlights)
This post was also helpful: What LED tint do you prefer?
In my experience 5B can often be redder than a 4C. 5B is certainly warmer, but the balance between red and yellow in each can vary.

can klarus p2a/p1a be opened up easily for upgrading the led?
