LiteFlux LF3 vs LF4

What difference is there in maximum output, runtime and size (DX's pics don't help much)?

I'm unlikely to buy one anytime soon, but I'm curious about CR2 lights.

I'll try to help out a little since I owned a LF3. I thought the light was nice and I liked the versatality. The LF3 was on the smaller side for a CR123 light but not the smallest. I have a LF2X which has the same UI. I like the AAA format better for EDC.

Between the LF3 and the LF4, the LF4 is just a bit shorter and is the same diameter as the AA version LF5 (now discontinued).

I beleive a RCR-2 has approximately the same energy capacity as a AAA-14400 rechargable cell. I would guess the CR-2 has similar energy density to a Lithium AAA or close. So it comes down to whether you want a shorter fatter light or an AAA version that is slimmer and longer. They probably have similar runtime and output.

The CR2 has a larger OP reflector than the AAA LF2X and uses a SSC emitter. The LF2X uses a Q5 Cree. The beam profiles will be different. Hope that helps.
