I had an x5 that i bought a few years ago, so i guess it was the older version not the 'T'. I recently lost it and decided to do a bit of research before getting another one.
I really liked the x5, the build quality, size, appearance. I used it mostly for hiking and at festivals, being a bit more flood like it lit up the trail good, and transitioned seamlessly to lighting things up around a campsite and inside a tent and backpack. Only thing I guess I wish it was regulated. I enjoyed the light more during the first few hours than after it started tapering off.
It seems that other LED models are more for throw and super bright, which make them more one dimensional.
I prefer stickin to LED.
Maybe what I should do is get another x5 since they are only 34 bucks at Target, and another small LED light like the T2 or a streamlight model for those few times on the trail I really want to spot ahead?
The surefires are out of my price range.
