Need a comparison of D-mini vs LILL(Mini Blink)

[LGCubana]

I'm just about ready to jump into the world of crees. I've opted to go with the Orange Peel D-Mini over the P1D CE.

But my biggest concern (since I haven't seen a Cree in person) is, will the D-Mini with OP blow away my stock LILL (AKA 8w Mini Blink) ?

Here's a post I did with a LILL Cree'd vs. a textured D-Mini. The LILL is probably about 2X as bright as a stock one would be. Hope that helps.

I don't think there's any comparison in quality of the D Mini vs. the Lill.

Lots to read here:

Here's a more expensive DX light and it doesn't even compare

I guess it depends on what you're looking for?? If you just want a "decent" light I suppose the DX lights will do. If you want, I believe a higher quality light, well...

I might pick up one of those DX lights as a backup/spare keep in the trunk of the car, garage, etc..
