Nitecore Defender Infinity Q5

[selfbuilt]

selfbuilt put all that info including beam shots in his review a couple of months ago. It's the pre-shipped version of DI, but as it turns out virtually identical in output to the shipped version. See here

Thanks for the plug srvctec, but that thread has been replaced by a new one where I also compare the pre-production to current shipping version and the Olight T15 Q5.

I knew about that thread also, but was thinking it just compared NDI to NDI and no other lights. Oh well, that's what I get for thinking.

Do you by any chance have a LF5?

If so, how does it compare (max brightness) to the DI?

I have the LF3 CR123
I use RCR123.

Pics in the other post are acurate to what I see. Liteflux has a little less brightness and a smaller hotspot. Twisty vs Momentary. Both are nice,LF 3 is smaller and really 3 levels available. PIA tp program but once set to your likeing it just stays there.

I've got to ask if anybody has attempted to have a warranty repair done on this light?

My quick story: I'm quite interested in new UI implementations, and so wanted to give the Infinity a try for the express purpose of checking out the interface. When the light arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how it worked, the quality and the output. For an EDC, I really liked the UI. Set it once, and just use it. GREAT! Less than two days later, the UI would not function. I get high, and sometimes it'll strobe for no particular reason. I've done everything at my disposal to get it working right again, and nothing helps. I have tried to contact the various dealers that are to be offering local support, and have heard nothing back in the three weeks that I've been trying.

Where'd everybody go?

Either that or PM/email Ms. Wong (EDGETAC). She's been super with getting back to me with my questions/problems. One of the best customer service responses I've seen on any light I've ever bought on CPF so far.

Yea I contacted her and told her about my problem with the switch on my DI. She was very helpful and I will be getting a replacement part soon.
I really like this light and even though the switch is stuck in the on position I'm still using it as my EDC. I'm currently using it as a twisty.

"Everybody" didn't go away. Edgetac has been posting in follow up threads and has been easily reachable via PM's or emails for me and others. Perhaps you haven't tried contacting Ms Wong yet?

I agree with srvctec, "One of the best customer service responses I've seen on any light I've ever bought on CPF so far."
