I cannot find any review on the Olight T25 R5 version and have to go off what I can read off the Olight web site and several other dealers site.
I am comparing it to the Fenix LD20 and here are the points I don't understand and/or confused.
T25 uses R5 and LD20 uses R4, that I get. Both are rated at about the same brightness and both use 2x AA batteries.
- Olight rates the usage at 50 min vs Fenix rates at 2 hrs. Is R4 that much more efficient than R5?
- Anyone knows which one has a wider hot spot and which one has a better throw?
- They are rated at 210 and 205 lumens accordingly, close enough but do they both mean OTF or emitter?
- at at least a couple of the dealers' web site, they mention the T25 is compatible with 2x 14500 Li-Ion battery but I found reviews on the older Q5 that says don't use 14500. Have they changed the driver on the R5 or those dealers don't know what they are talking about?
- T25 is a heavier light by specs. Does that mean it has more aluminum?
