i want to buy a luxeon torch, And I have seen this torch in fifthunit.

anyone have it?

It's a good flashlight all around:

1- Quality is actually very good
2- The light is bright, but not enough sidespill for me and the lower level is not that low.
3- Using the 3.7v batteries rewcommended is brighter, but the flashlight gets VERY HOT to handle if on more than 5 minutes straight.
4- Runtime on RCR123 3.0v batteries is 40 minutes on high then drops off fairly quick.

I have owned this light for only 1 week, but have been using daily. I would recommend this flashlight as a good all around flashlight.
P.S. If I over tighten my tailcap it shuts off the light...you can not over tighten the tailcap...I know there is also a warning not to over tighten the bezel.

71.56 lm for 3AAA is very good!!!

any other recomendation for the same price??

how about you buy the one with the bigger reflector?

the dual mode is just too easy... a resistor is all that you need.

remember to buy the 18650 if you wanna use A li ion cell in it.

only buy the 2x cr123 model if you are going to run it on normal cr123

the only different between the 2 model, the 2xcr123 and the 18650 is the resistor in the head, decreasing the voltage.

but heck, i will buy either version and replace the resistor with solder and DD it with a 17670!(becoz i don't have a 18650)

What are you using it for?

1- Throw?
2- Flood?
3- Runtime?
4- ?

I ended up modifying this light....bored it to take 18650 batteries (LG 2600mAh 18650) and removed the resistor underneath the led.
1- Not as bright, but just bright enough with almost 5 hour runtime with plenty of brightness at over 4 1/2 hours.
2- Still can run with RCR123 3.0v batteries(NOT RCR123 3.6v) which is a little brighter, but alot less runtime....approximately 40 minutes vs. 5 hours.
It's a sacrifice I am willing to make since it ran too hot with the 3.6v RCR123 batteries, and it was the same brightness with 3.0v RCR123 batteries before the modification.
