I'm looking to buy a new AA light for EDC, I'm finally settling on either a V10A or M10A XM-L and use it with 14500.
I'm leaning toward the M10A for the additional strobe mode available, but the output of both on 14500 confuse me:
On batteryjunction (it seems to be the only place with output data on 14500?), it says 460 Lumens when using 1 x 14500 for the V10A, and 210 Lumens when using 1x14500 battery for the M10A.
Shouldn't the 2 output be the same as the only difference is the UI ? If the output of the M10A if really that different, I think I would drop the additional strobe mode for more output power.
