what i like about Olight UI is that it seperates strobe and SOS from normal mode but i dont like twisting the head to adjust the modes because i have to use 2 hands...
My Olight T25 regular version (with beamshots and runtimes)

I did a bit of an informal runtime test the other night. I had no equipment other than a clock and I was planning on just getting a good idea of runtime as well as get a feel for how hot it runs and I was pleasantly surprised at my findings.
It gets warm, but not hot when running on NiMH's (Duracell 2500MaH). It ran for 1 hour and 37 minutes (on high) on a freshly charged set of batts and then, to my surprise, instead of just starting to dim and fade out, it jumped to medium output. It was getting light out so I did not continue on to see if it stepped down to low as is drained the batteries.
The more I use this light the happier I am with it. I have a P60 drop in that has more total output, but does not throw as well, so the T25 does not light up a room as well as the P60, but it does a better job lighting up the parking lot.

Check out old but still excellent www.flashlightreviews.com.
Should have lux-readings for most maglites there.

Chao, are those Lux readings w/alk. or NiMH cells? Does it make a difference? please advise. many thanks, pj aka half-watt
Hi half-watt, they all tested with alkaline batties, I also added the information in my previous post
When using NiMH, I think the difference in L2D and T25 is only the runtime, the total output looks same, and I haven't have chance to try NiMH in my Mag2AA.

I also have mini mag 2AA beamshot,
Lux readings at 1meter(all using alkaline batteries): Mag2AA 1400 lux, L2DQ5 3750 lux, Olight T25 5880 lux
10m shots (all using alkaline batteries)
Chao - that's awesome!
May we please use the T25 and Mag pics on the website for comparison?

You da man Chao! Thanks a thousand for all your effort.I also have mini mag 2AA beamshot,
Lux readings at 1meter(all using alkaline batteries): Mag2AA 1400 lux, L2DQ5 3750 lux, Olight T25 5880 lux
10m shots (all using alkaline batteries)
Now if only someone could snap (comparison) shots to show Olight T25 throw at far distance say 50m, 100m would be great... ehem ehem
Its just that newcomers to performance LED lights, such as myself, still compare with "traditional" flashlights that we own.
*edit* on 2nd thought, maybe testing maglite 2AA incan at 50m & 100m would simply be a waste as even at 10m the light is already so dim :duh2:

I got one of these lights about a month and a half ago from Battery Junction twothumbs) and it is one of my favorite lights. We took it with us when we went on vacation in the mountains and I used it quite a bit on a night hike. I rarely had to put it on high and it lit up the woods! Its only flaw is the clip that holds the lanyard on the light. It is very poorly made and broke the first time I used it. Really surprising considering the build quality of the light.

Do you have to twist the head in one direction, or back and forth? Help me understand. If just one direction, that's not so bad. I would probably just leave it on high permanently.

Lux readings at 1meter
Level 1: 267 lux
Level 2: 560 lux
Level 3: 1182 lux
Level 4: 2580 lux
Level 5: 5880 lux
The total output is a little higher than L2D Q5, and thanks for this new designed OP reflector, it generates a smooth beam and bright hot spot.
.
How much higher?
Those are readings of my L2D Q5 (smooth reflector):
low 315 lux
medium 1063 lux
high 2010 lux
Turbo 3750 lux
Judging by lux readings, the high mode is substantially brighter than the Turbo mode of Fenix?

On the pics, the output looks pretty much identical.
I like the lesser-throw and more flood of the L2D.
I don't have Q5 but might just upgrade to it or something newer when it comes out.

Could it be that due to Fenix L2D Q5 max brightness is lower that Olight T25, runtime for L2D is longer at max brightness?
