Hi
I have just noticed that the RC-V4s on Ebay claim to have a Q5 emitter whereas the version advertised by DX is a P4. Any body any experience of the Ebay version?

OMG. Romisen RC-V4 for around US$33 shipped? With Q5? Hmmmmm.
My friend just ordered a RC-V4 today from DX for $17.50 shipped. LOL
(Hence I'll be reviewing it as soon as he gets it. haha.)

No Romisen so far uses a Cree Q-bin emitter. So I think they are wrong.
Even Romisen website has no mention of such spec. It says Cree P4.
Either it is a custom modded RC-V4 or they are giving false info. =P

Although I like the looks of this light, I bought several before discovering some major limitations for me. The lens on mine is plastic, and the bezel is glued. I cannot replace the lens with glass or insert a GITD lens o-ring.:thumbsdow

RC-T5 has Q4 emitters.

Can you confirm this?

If you are referring to the silver backed LEDs, all that means is you got one with the newer LED made in a different factory.

But going by the name, xx-x5, it might be using Q2s.

I doubt the eBay seller has RC-V4s with Q5 emitters.
