I think the L4/KL4 is really very bright. I can't stare at the beam for more than a few seconds before it starts to hurt. In contrast, I could stare into the beam of a KL3 without a problem.

Interesting metric you use grnamin /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
It's worth it if you think it is. All depends on your needs and expectations. It will be brighter than your 1 Watt LED, but probably won't have the throw of your incandescents.

grnamin,
how long can you stare at the beam of an E2e with MN03 ? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
more or less than the L4/KL4 ?

Alas, I don't have an E2e with MN03. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I went straight to an L4. FWIW, I have a G2Z with a P61, and I can't stare at it for more than a few seconds either. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif As an aside, you know your flashlight is really bright if you can get a cat to squint when you flash 'em. In the Philippines, there are a lot of stray cats and I would test my lights by flashing cats. Thus far, only the Surefire P60 and up have been able to make cats squint.

Just for sake of comparison - a 5W LED is actually four 1W chips stock right next to each other. Yes, there is a BIG difference between 1W and 5W. And the reflector just makes the beam LOVELY. Like nothing you've seen before. Kinda like the McFlood with on serious steroids, and with a throwing center spot.

You must have wuss cats over there, I hit a cat with my M6 HOLA and did not even get a flinch. Fresh batteries too.

My cat is used to having lights shone in her eyes. She just gives me this "get the light out of my face you fool... kinda look.
