Romisen RC-T5 4-Cree beamshots

[Glance2]

I received the Romisen RC-T5 4-Cree from DX yesterday. It has 4 Q4 emitters. It is extremely bright.

I took some beamshots at 1M against a white wall. I'm a relatively new to this, the only halfway equivalent light I have is the Lowe's Task Force 2 C cells to compare it with. Please forgive my crude review.

4 Cree Q4s AW 2x18650

Task Force Cree P4 emitter 2 Fresh C cells Energizer Alkaline

Task Force on the Left, 4 Cree on the Right

The 4 cree is so bright, it took about an hour for the afterimage to go away after looking at it. The spill is enormous. I can't wait to try it on my bike.

Thanks for posting--looks like a very promising monster thrower, without going HID.

I have one on order, can't wait to get it. Nice whitewall shots but we need outdoor shots!!!!! And a full review!

 

[copperfox]

Perhaps you could take shots of it further from the wall, or perhaps less exposure time? Outdoor shots would be wonderful. Thanks for the effort so far.

Edit: Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Task Force use a Q4 Cree?

 

[nobita]

been waiting for this, thank you! Please post some outdoor pic once you have them.

OK, I ventured out tonight in the wind and rain...

Sorry the Task Force shot didn't come out that well, the wind and rain is not good for my below average photographic skills.

whats the run time on full mode?

i heard some people said its about 1 hour but never own one of these bad boyz yet.

if this light will hold 2 hours run time on full mode i will definitely buy it

Does anyone know how bright or the throw power of Romisen T5 vs the Dereelight DBS Q5?

Thanks for the photos. I ordered one too a few days ago. Unfortunately the status is still "Waiting for Supplier", I hope they will get them more soon...

 

[nobita]

Thank you, but man it's green green :shakehead I hope it's just the camera or the weather. Going to wait for a review then I will decide ...

I think it's more my iPhone camera than anything else.

If i can shorten the battery tube would this light work with 2x rcr123
or 3x rcr123 or maybe 1x 18650 ?

Reverse clickie.

Hmm i dunno but the pictures of the beamshots look not much better as an UF C3 or something in this class!?
Somebody else have made some pics?

 

[phantom23]

Look at pictures again and imagine that Task Force is three times brighter than UF C3.

Maybe somebody can compare the T5 to the MRV or to the UF WF500!?
