If this is like the Spark (well, if like the Spark SK7) the battery goes in with negative towards the head. Good job it has polarity protection - what, read instructions before playing with a light, me?? :bigsmile:
Oh,really?I don't realize cree doesn't have Q5.The Q5 and LM were told by manufacturer,the different manufacturers are always give different data even it's the same item.Never mind DX link,it's convenient for compare or reference.
I wish mfrs would stop making tiny CR123A “keychain lights” that can’t tailstand. Love these size lights, but I never use them on a keychain. Too fat & heavy.
TF BLF mini01 is one of my favorite lights, but I had to grind off the keyring tab with my dremel so it can tailstand. Easy mod, but why should I have to bother?
I have a few EDC, but bought this and another light. Just another day in the land of Flashaholicism… J)
I’ve got an ultrafire w610 from CNQ who claim it’s an xpg r5.IThe led does look a touch bigger than the one in the tf 801 in front of me,that’s an xpe q5.I’ve dremmeled and sanded the keyring tab off and it tailstands really well.Why have to bother?Lapping practice for your pils of course.
One rare feature on the w610,the tail spring is just a press fit so can easily be removed.Stainless steel bezel,smooth reflector,very approximately,about as bright as convoy s2 t4 7c 8*7135 on medium,$9 from CNQ so slightly cheaper here.Protected and unprotected fit.All in all a nice little twisty and very compact.Go for it
tag!!
Will, that’s a great triple prosperity price! For keychain use, it’s better to round off the sharp edges of the key attachment and have no anodizing as the keys will scratch them off anyway.
I applied the BLF coupon and it shows 10% discount for a total of $10.52. How can you get $8.88 ?
It might be because the deal was limited to 50 pieces, but if so, that was pretty quick.
OK Woody! Saw that now from the first post.
Thanks.
Guys, Cree does make a XP-G Q5. Before you say stuff like that please look at the datasheets...
Here’s one to look at xpg-q5.

So let me get this right. Your name is Will Bang Good?
!
since it looked cool, i bought it :party:
no more flashlights for a long time now, since i need to spend money on repairing my car :~
Got the shipping notice when I woke up this morning - looking pretty good so far.
Anybody knows the LUX reading / throw?
Has been around for some time now:

I almost bought one a while back from fancy flashlights but the single mode just doesn’t get it done for me.
Shame that the working voltage seems to be 3.7v, requiring a 16340 cell - if I don’t like mine I was hoping to stick a primary CR123 in it and give it away.
