1AA Q5 options

[kilgor]

I'm looking for the brightest, quality light. Multiple levels is a plus.

So far I have found the Olight T15 at 120 lumens. http://batteryjunction.com/t15-specialedition-olight.html

Are there better options out there?

Not sure if it's better, but Fenix have a "4in1 Powerpack P2D/L1D Q5 Black Combo" *phew!*

The Nitecore Defender Infinity comes to mind.

Thanks for that direct.

180 lumens for 50 minutes or 3 lumens for 45 hours on 1 AA battery with an infinitely variable brightness setting. VERY NICE. :thumbsup:

I would take that lumen claim with a very big grain of salt.

But the pre-production version I have certainly does outshine the Fenix Q5 in 1AA. See my review in my signature block.

Wow. Nice review. Nice light.

Hope that lights a fire under Fenix and they update their feature set.

does it outshine the p1d with 14500?

Do you mean P1D with RCR, or L1D with 14500? Not that it really matters - output is exactly the same in those two setups (just runtime differs - a bit longer on my 14500s).

As you'll see in my NiteCore review, the Fenix head is brighter on 14500/RCR, but with less runtime. EDGETAC has purposely kept 14500 output a bit lower, due to heat concerns on such small lights.

The specs on the light look very good, but after reading up on it I think I want to stay with more established brands in Fenix and Olight. I have been burned before by prepaying for products that won't be delivered for awhile. I'll sit back and watch the NiteCore for awhile. :sigh:

Are there any other 1AA Q5 lights out there that i should look at?
