Q: Anyone with SF L5; Performance?

[Spence]

I'm considering buying a SureFire L5 and would like to know how it performs?
What kind of throw or beam spread does it have, considering the size of its' head? Thanks to any owner of one for your comments.

It'd be worth ensuring the L5 has a KL5A rather than the old KL5 bezel.
I'm sure a search for KL5A will drag up discussion of it...

What Al said.

The KL5A has a beam similar or identical to the SF U2 and sports a way longer runtime than the old KL5.

If you gonna use it as the L5 light, considering a U2 instead for the added benefit of more levels in a KISS interface might be interesting.
IMHO the KL5A shines on the C3 body for really long and bright runtime in a KISS light.
