compared to the R5-a3. ALOT dimmer say about 100-200 lumen diff (im probably getting over 450 lumens out of the R5-a3 on a 14500 tho, with a PROPER reflector so little loss)
wider hot spot, but not too wide, so its not a thrower, but gives light good downrange
its nice that it will take rcr123s, i didnt know this til i read the package!
it claims an OTF 310 lumens ON THE BOX. not 250 like the websites say.
IT IS BRIGHTER THAN OTHER q5 flashlights however. decently brighter.
draws a little over 1.0 amp on fresh cr123s. will check on RCR123s next. but its now my carry on of choice due to the fact that the memory mode is actually easy to use. and it makes the IPX rating
