Best 1x18650 light for my need

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.

Interesting thread.. Im also looking for a 1x18650 light, and are getting some bits and pieces of info here and there.

Whats nice about the x9, it has that huge head.. but thats also a minus.. Because I wont have much place to put it.. (i dont own a car) and my pockets will clearly be too small.

anyway.. waiting to see what others think.

the ones that I was been dubbing are the X9 and the Keygos..

would like to read a bit more about the keygos.. its also a bit cheaper..

I already have the X9 and the Keygos will be here hopefully by end of the week. Will be comparing the two by then. hopefully other member with bright and thrower 1x18650 lights will contribute to this thread. Definitely appreciate comparison among lights...

I was just bidding on ebay.. in the last 20 seconds, I got outbid on a (fake probably) L2 with XML...by 50 cents.....

gone for 17.50$

Thats really annoying.. its now 0:11, and waited 2 hours for this auction to finish....

those lights cost me a lot of ...... time......

I Just received my Keygos KE05 today and 1st impression is: It's small.

Here's a comparison pix.

X9, Skyline1, RQ, Keygos, L2P

Beamshot comparison.

X9, RQ xml, Keygos


Updated post #8 with the Keygos KE05 beamshot for comparison.

Thanks Ian2381 for the updates. I'm also looking for my first 18650 throw light and this thread is very helpful.

Once I get extra funds I'll try acquiring the Ultrafire 980L.

Hope to get more feed-backs from members owning 1x18650 throwers.

Nice thread

Just bought a Keygos KE-5 (with 2x UltraFire 2400mAh Battery + Charger) over eBay yesterday for 37.29$ after looking at both of your pic, impressed what that small light brings

Have 2 things i would like to ask..

Will the stronger battery like Ultrafire 4000mAh battery fit as well, thinks its a tiny bit longer.. Or if TrustFire has better batterys and equal capacity?

Im looking also for a Holster to the Keygos, is it the same size as the Ultrafire C8? So i can mabey fit my Keygos in the C8 holster?

Thanks

The "4000mah" batteries are fake.

The keygos should be similar size.

I Agree. I'm happy with the light and hopefully you'll like it. If you want optimum performance you should get better batteries, I have an XTAR 2600mah 18700 on the way. This batteries are longer but I think it will fit but tight, the Keygos have springs both on the driver and tail cap.

Ok, nice! So i can fit it in a C8 holster!

How do you mean by fake? That they dont hold 4000mAh?

Talking about these:
