L1T vs L1D

[shootist16]

What is the difference?

 

[greenLED]

L1D has 5 modes, L1T has only 2 (and a forward switch, IIRC).

I think the L1T has a deeper reflector for more throw and less spill.

Kramer..Thats the specs for the old L1D CE, not the Q5 :whistle:

The L1D Q5 is 120 lumens max.

Oops... error noted.

On that note, how hard is it to mod the L1T? It would be nice to have a 2 mode version with all the brightness of a Q5 or R2.

false

You sure about this?
