I have both the T3 and the T5. The T5 is a nice thrower. It has a bit brighter beam than the T3. The bezel on the T5 is a bit bigger and creates a larger hotspot. The T5 gives me about 3hr 15min regulated runtime. It is really nice. The only drawback on the T5 is that it is large. I do recommend the T5 as a good light and LED thrower. I recently acquired a LedLogic Striker VG. It is about the size of a T3 and outthrows every LED light I have. I suspect only the Aleph 3 or HD45 would beat it. Its throw is significantly brighter than any of the Inova's. Its about 110$ at batteryjunction.com.

Good luck finding the light you want.

Oh i see the striker Vg is a 1 Watt. I was also looking at the Pelican M6 3W it throws excellent. But just looking for a thrower thats reliable and good regulation

The Striker VG is a 3W. It far outthrows the Pelican. No contest, although the Pelican is superbly constructed.

The VG has a tighter beam with very good throw compared to the T3.
How is the T5 compared to the VG? I've never seen a T5.

<edit> meant to say versus the VG as the T3 and T5 are compared above...

I also like The elektrolumens light they look pretty aweomse and offer alot of light. I really dont care about the size unless it doesnt exceed 4d mag.

The T5 and T3 allmost identical beam pattern, but the T5 throws a lil more.

So the T3 and T5 Are almost identical? I think im going to go with the Pelican M6, or the Streamlight 3W 2L. Any Reviews on the lights from you guys?
