Cree UltraOK Q5 400Lumens Is A Thrower

wow 400 yards that's a long distance! The brightest light i own now is the KD C8 which throws 100 usable yards at most i think. But then it also has a very decent flow and a wide hotspot.

Ok I take that back on the seller. I bought it from this seller.

I thought that square was a target matter, not shure now. But the spill is definitely bright for an aspheric in throw mode?

You are right about the spill, I hadn’t thought about that but the right & bottom edges of the hotspot appear to be on a flat wall while the top & left edges are definitely on the building edges.

This was right at 12ft. UltraOK Technology Q5(400 lumens) on left and Skyline I(300 lumens) on right.

I don't have a multimeter yet.

And I paid $13.99 with free shipping for the light.

Here's a beamshot at 40yds.

Here's 60yds.

And just so you guys know that I know what 400yds is, here's the barn I lit up early this morning while it was dark.

Here's a good picture of the reflector and how it completely surrounds the led housing.

And here's the same exact beam shot picture as above but with the Skyline I. Camera settings are proibably different though and this one is more focused. But you can get the idea that both are throwers.

What about hotspot diameter? Wink

Don't want to be pest, but I already have an HS-802 with a 10cm hotspot at 3m, and if this one is equally small it would be redundant to me.

On the other hand, I like that body (looks the same as my TrustFire F15) and it might work well with an R5 emitter, which would throw a wider spot.

All well,but 400 lumens for Q5 this fantasy,Interesting how much indeed

Give me a sec.

At a distance of 3ft, the hotspot on each:

UltraOK Technology Cree Q5 is 2 and 7/8"

Solarforce Skyline I is 2"

That was manufacturer rated.

It's still a very bright flashlight.

Real there 230-240 lumens. Regrettably,disease of exaggeration cureless beside chinese seller.))Do Not think that manufacturer can indicate such improbable data

Aha, slightly wider than HS-802! May be right what I'm after. Thanks ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS !

Ordering now... We shall see how much they have overdriven that poor Q5. Smile

Will get used for short bursts anyway. And for that price...

Yes,was well measure current

Has Seen this subjects. Here, the manufacturer indicates real data

You welcome. And I wanted to say that this light really did fool me when I first got it. I thought from looking at the picture enclosed with the ad on ebay that it was a thrower. And that it was and then some. I can't honestly say that it will for sure out throw the Skyline I, but I can say at 400yds that it lights that barn above in the picture a lot better than the Skyline I does. That right there is why I made that statement above, but I don't want to be misleading so I will restate this here. That light is one of my best throwers I do know that.
