It showed up today, I'm sure HK Post isn't so fast.
Although I notice from the screen shots of it vs the RC-N3, seem to be more spotlight like and not alot of flood. I really hope this one will be brighter than my RC-N3. Wonder if they will have a Q5 version of the X5 :thinking:

Different camera exposures can make Cree brighter than HID. X5 is probably noticeably brighter than N3.

Oops... I didn't notice that. I was checking my ear buds order at DX and inevitably, browsed to 'AA Cree Flashlights' category, and found this flashlight. Somehow, I knew it should be a new flashlight and was hoping that someone here might has it... what was I thinkingIt showed up today, I'm sure HK Post isn't so fast.
BTW, how do I compare the Budget Light sticky thread's RC-I3 & RC-N3 lux rating to the RC-X5's "87~150 lumens maximum brightness (manufacturer rated)"?

Ísnt the RC-N3 was rated 130 lumen according to Romisen Korean website ? But is it from R123 , not the AA I guess

I wouldn't take the manufacturers lumen claims too seriously.
The lightbox lux measures overall brightness (lumens). I think bessiebennies lightbox lux readings are quite close to one lumen.

That would be for a RCR123a cell presumably. It is perhaps still a bit optimistic to be honest. 2xAA or cr123a would be considerably less.

How come the RC-N3 looks so much brighter? They both use a Cree P4 emitter. The RC-X5 wall pics look almost like depleted AA alkalines.... dim and yellow :sick2:
