From 3,5A - 4A it´s not really brighter and over 4A it´s only hotter.
(my Brinyte C5 drives 5,14A with full charged 18650, little bit too much)
edit: ah, the 980l and my Brinyte maybe have the same driver. the driver of 980l look´s like the ultrafire xml-dropin driver.....and this driver is now in my Brinyte.
Thanks Andi and Pounder for all the usefull information. Now I see there is a cree xml u2 1300 lm at KD. Not much info on it I am assuming it isn't a thrower either?
...besides, the Brinyte D8 is the successor of the Brinyte C5, reflector has same deep, but it´s little bit wider. (little bit more spill and little bit less throw)
I'll be suprised if they send it. They had flashlights for $0.00 so I had to add them to my cart. I have no knowledge of these lights. apparently they are expensive.
Thanks! Andi. I don't like BOOM boom sucks!!! I have seen that light before but it was more than I wanted to spend $45-$70. I am going to try to order a Brinyte XML C-5 again. This time I am not going to add any free flashlights to my cart.
I'm planning to build myself more throwier XM-L light, so I thought buying a cheap (cree Q3-R2) thrower and swap the driver and LED from my XM-L P60, so I will end up with usable p60 drop-in and great xm-l thrower. What do you recommend? Maybe Trustfire USA168 (brinyte c5 clone) 20.55 USD or Kaidomain RQ 26.50 USD or something else?
