Here's the difference from Selfbuilt's review from CPF, purely regrading to the 48.500 vs 55000 lux. Flashlights are not pointed in the same exact spot. I belive the eyes cannot notice that small of a difference. The other you mentioned will probably have a similar throw.
Crelant looks decent light to me for that price. Good quality. i am intense using Crelant V9CS (about 2 hours/day on max) since 2 months ago and still no problem.
But is more heavy, bigger because uses 3 batteryes. on 7G5CS you can add collimator head witch will improve beam distance.
Anyway, is a matter of prefferencess here
The collimator head is an extra $35. If you add that up that’s already $120. IIRC that’s around the price of an L3 Illuminations K40. And a reflector light which produces nearly the amount of throw of an aspheric is magnitudes better for searching due to the spill(or whatever you like doing actually).
Just shared a couple of emails with Mark over at MD-lightsource. Got a great deal on the Crelant 7G5-V2 with the Aspheric head……. ~$80 for both!!! Use coupon code buyit and you’re in!!!
I have no affiliation with MD-Lightsource at all but this deal was too good to pass on, and I thought that I would share.
Mods: Please move to deal alerts if this doesn’t belong here.
