Re: *24HR. UPDATE* L1-RD (L1 Red) ~vs~ X5 Red ~vs~ 24/7
Yer welcome PSM...I know which one I will take when the Zombies come now. I had high hopes for the X5 after reading all the hype. It's a great battery vampire/drainer, but for a red LED light, the runtime kinda sucks...L1 all the way! I'm sure this thread will get alot of views over the years though, so I know my effort wasn't in vain. I (and several other CPF'ers) always wanted to know the "real" runtime of the these lights, so, I put the final nailin the coffin. Just wish I had my 5th gen L1 white head back so I could do a side-by-side of the L1-RD/L1-Wh. I'll definitely pick up another 5th gen L1-Wh next time I have some extra funds though.
