Would love to hear his thoughts. Trying to decide between the two, and it seems owners of each stand behind what they have. Really would love to hear from someone who has both.

Welcome to the club, toade!

Unfortunately yes.
I’ve decided to keep it and take the star off and realign it. Was cheaper to buy new thermal paste then it was to ship back cause i’m in Canada.

Wow, I am surprised to hear that out of Brian. I’ve never had a problem from them, sorry to hear that. You could send it to E1320 another guy on here just sent his to Erik and is very pleased.

Ok to the lights I just got the XinTD C8 V3 XM-L I chose the 2 mode CW which says 910 Lumen
It does throw good and is a nice bright white color. I got my last KE-5 out to compare it to last night which pulls 3.55 amps and they are pretty close, the tight hot spot of the KE-5 edged out for the win up close but the KE-5 get’s alot hotter to hold when the XinTD stayed cool/warm
Here’s a link where I got my KE-5 for $19.99

I hope I was some help, My new KE-5 and RC-T601 II is very close to call…

That does sound like a good idea, i’ve just never heard of E1320. I’m pretty new to this site.
But i am interested in getting it centre. I think i might destroy it trying to get that paste off.

33

Ya i searched and found him. Just sent him a PM few minutes ago.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

34

Your welcome, glad to help.

35

wow - have heard alot of good things bout them

36

Hi rikr, I see you compare the output and touch on heat management but could you comment on other aspects? Build quality/feel/grip/size/Runtime/PWM/modes/UI etc, I know it’s a lot to ask but it would be interesting

37

Thanks for the input. Still not sure which you like better between the XinTD and RC-T601. Sounds like from your post KE-5 > RC-T601 > XinTD… but that they are all VERY close. Plus KE-5 can be kind of a lottery.

38

Well I’ve just mailed off my LED pill to Erik. Gonna get the Led realigned and the 5 mode no strobe 3.5 amp driver installed as i’ve already noticed flickering in low mode and sometimes it goes down to almost moonlight then back to full power lol. might as well get it swapped out to

Wait until you see his moon/mode it’s bad ass

41

The Keygos has a tactical bezel and tailcap and the Romi has that cigar grip rings.It is true that the Romi and Keygos are a lot cheaper than the XinTD, but a neutral XM-L would cost me $7-10 and a high PWM 3-mode driver $4-5... so that puts the high price of the Xin ($32) into perspective.

42

Build quality is good, the led is centered perfect and the light has a good feeling in your hand. I got the 2- mode High-100% Low-10% and I got cool white T6 1A overall I am very happy with the light. I’ve been pretty sick the past 3 weeks so I haven’t been outside alot…… sorry…

43

No worries mate, any inputs helpful so thanks for your thoughts, GWS.

44

Rikr, still not sure which you like best. If you can only grab one, which you grabbing?

45

The Keygos KE-5 would be the one I would grab. Ask Rick out of these 3 which one he would say is the brightest. Rick’s got a good Keygos KE-5 as well.
