Ian, I think you ought to check out the KEYGOS KE5 off ebay. Cost me $25 shipped to my door. Super bright and throws a good beam. https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/3320
Thanks ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS, actually I bought one in ebay after reading your thread, I have both the Keygos and X9 on the way. I'm really excited and will post beamshots once I receive them.
You’ll love that light. It’s hard to beat for the price. I know I couldn’t believe a light that small with only 1 battery could be so dang bright.
Oh and I love beam shots. 
I wanted to mention I got one like this in the mail yesterday. Slapped a cheap Ultrafire battery in it which aren't very good at all, flicked the switch and this baby is going to be a beam thrower I can already tell that. I'll have to post some shots later on once I get off from working the weekend. Excellent light for $13 shipped. I'm very impressed so far. But it's a super tight beam thrower. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Tactics-CREE-LED-400-Lm-Flashlight-Torch-Lamp-New-/120710615523?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D1%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2214490935578780763
Thanks for the link, Looks like a real good thrower. I'm getting broke so I'll just have to wait for the 2 new lights before deciding what to get next. I'm already full of anticipation.
Love to see beamshots.
Go bro! Awaiting for those sweet beamshots!
I Just received my Trustfire X9, felt it is too big to take in a climb/hike. Now waiting for the Keygos to see if it will be better for my need.
Here's the comparison pix. Will take beamshot tonight.
X9, Skyline1, RQ, L2P
Those are some nice lights. Can't wait to see that Xp in action. My Skyline 1 should be here today.
Updated post #8 with the Trustfire X9 beamshot for comparison.
How many yds?
Estimated 34 yds as per google map.
Did you see my added shots I took of the Keygos K-5 last nite? I really liked that 1st one.
Uh, very nice. Thank's for the beamshots. You wouldn't happen to have a luxmeter, would you?
I'm wondering about the highest lux between the Skyline1 and the X9. The X9 obviously has the bigger hotspot, but with the slightly increased reflecterdiameter - is it near the Skyline in throw as well?
Yes I saw that, I'm really excited with my Keygos, wanted to see which light is brighter and probably I will carry in my next climb.
Do you have a size comparison pic of the keygos to any lights you have like the Ultrafire L2 or the Skyline 1?
Anyways, I think my keygos will arrive if not late this week, early next week.
The Kegos is a good thrower and it puts out a lot of light up close too. My Skyline 1 should be here today. I'm really loving this new little UltraOK Cree Q5 light I got for $14. I'm burning the light on high to see how long it will go. It don't even get hot, and it's been burning for 1 hr and 29 min as I type this abd it's still putting out quite of bit of light.
It seems you're getting more and more lights every day.
I will be testing my X9 runtime now.
Yea, and it seems I am a bit asleep. I told you the wrong light. It's the UltraOK Technology Cree Q5 w/o the gold band. It's rated at like 300 lumens. I meant to grab the other one with the gold band. Silly me.
This things been burning for 1.75hrs now and still going strong on the high mode.
Also love to runtime test all my lights, especially those I tend to use even on special occasions only.
