I received my CountyComm X5T-HA. It arrived in just 2 days. I bought the CountyComm $5 X5T sheath and I highly recommend the sheath. The sheath is very well made, slim, and the velcro sticks like glue. I don't know how well the sheath will hold up in the long run but it is well made at a low price.
Here's the pros and cons for the CountyComm X5T-HA:
Pros:
Excellent construction
Excellent design
HA finish is low gloss and durable
Slim in dimension
Cons:
Too dim for a 2 CR123 light
Blue tint to beam
Inova should make a model with a 1 Watt led in it.
The X5T-HA is good for very long run time situations like backpacking for hours, close up work, a good light to use in a power outage in the house.
I would recommend the TL2/NF2 leds or PM6 led to a LEO instead of the X5T-HA.
Price: The silver and black X5T can be had for $32 and the CountyComm X5T-HA (HA III finish) is $40. You can get more light for $32 to $40 with other brands, therefore I think the Inova prices are too high. This light should sell for $20-$30 at most. Cheaper maglites and bargin plastic flashlights give off more usable light.
I only recommend the CountyComm X5T-HA as a back up flashlight. If you're a flashlight collector and love the solid construction, form factor, then look in to this flashlight. It is not a must have flashlight. The Arc LS, TL2, PM6 led, or any of the surefires are better choices.
