The KL5 stomps the KL3 in lumens and has to offer some nice "ram of light" spill.
BUT ... the KL3 throws very well, has virtually no side-spill (which can be an advantage, like not blinding those that walk with you in a group) and a superb runtime.
I'd say completely different animals, where my favourite would the the KL5.
I am always tempted to get a KL3,
I like my KL5 alot,
but would like the advantage of runtime, I am just afrade the lack of spill will bother me too much
I think its beam is probably alot like my Inova T4
...just wondering why this pic is named "OutdoorU2level6.jpg"?
I'm also close to a decision between these two heads, if I could just decide which one will be my first Surefire: an E2E as "base" for the KL1/4 or the C2 for the KL3/5.
Do you think anything less than the KL5 will satisfy my desire if take my HDS U60 as reference and expect a 2 cell Surefire to ouperform it in both throw and overall output?
Runtime isn't that important for me.
