Well, my Neo T5 arrived today (as a surprise, since I recieved no shipping confirmation) and I guess, tonight, I can say I am theHappyMan with the light.
After playing with it, just for an experiment, I tried swapping heads with my T3. By the way, the heads are identical, except for the Led and a slight difference in the reflectors. Well, I liked it so much this way I'm going to leave the T5 head on my T3 body (and my T3 head on my T5 body).
The T3's beam is warmer than the bluish white tint of the T5's and more focused too. But the T5's light is way brighter and lights up a much wider area.
At 150 feet the T5's beam is about equally as bright as the Fenix P1D-CE's "high" but covers twice the area, indicating more overall brightness for the T5. Here too the T5 has more of a bluish white tint. And as for artifact (rings), the T5 certainly has less than the P1D-CE (dont get me wrong, I love my Fenix too).
Hooking the T5 head up with the T3 body makes for an amaing, amazing little light. So bright yet so small. You T5 owners might think about ordering a T3......... For that size, is there anything brighter out there ???
And the T3 head on the T5's body is fun too..... the "low" is even lower but a very usable lower, and the "high" is fairly decent, for a Luxeon. Personally I like it that low comes on first.
But, for me, the T5 body is just a bit too long for an EDC.
