I have a number of Q5 lights with more on the way, and I am amazed at the variability in brightness and tint. Of course, the construction varies with the price, but many lights seem to be less bright than Q2 or P4 lights costing significantly less (e.g., Romisen RC-F4). If I grade the various lights in terms of brightness, tint, beam pattern, UI, and construction, my gold standard would be my DereeLight v.3 3SD with five stars in all categories. Here are some of my opinions of other lights based on three or more samples: Aurora WF-400 brightness=4, tint=4, beam pattern=4, UI=n/a (two mode), construction=3. Conqueror brightness=4, tint=3, beam pattern=4, UI=3, construction=3. Fenix T1 brightness=5, tint=4, beam pattern=5, UI=2, construction=5. MTE C3-70101 brightness=2, tint=4, beam pattern=3, UI=4, construction=3. Olight T20 brightness=4, tint=4, beam pattern=2-3 (varies), UI=4, construction=5. SmartFire V-68C brightness=4, tint=5, beam pattern=4, UI=3, construction=2. TrustFire T1 brightness=3, tint=5, beam pattern=4, UI=n/a (one mode), construction=3. UltraFire C2 brightness=4, tint=4, beam pattern=4, UI=n/a (one mode), construction=3. Please express your opinions about these and other lights.
