sigh…
the d5 is SIMILAR to the f8, it will take 3400 protected keeppower cells for a start, reflector is screw in not drop in, and its perfectly fine with an xm-l or xp-g2 at 3 or so amps, its extremely good at shedding the heat, I use mine daily as its one of my edc’s.
it also comes with an a/r lense.
I suspect it would do your task fine with an xm-l, with an xp-g2 it will definitely give you the throw and if that xpg2 is on copper it will be as bright as your uf-t50 with much much more throw.
Here’s a build thread on the d5.
I would disregard the contact board method I use in the build thread and use the board I linked above, don’t forget to solder a wire between the two negative rings (driver outer ring to contact board outer ring).
if you are going to try a build order at least two qlites (id order 5 tbh) and order a few noctigon mounted emitters (xm-l2 and xp-g2) you’ll use them and you might make a mistake and its a bummer withing for a month for a 3 quid part.
