Not everyone is familiar with every Romisen model.
bessiebenny has not reviewed any version of them and there are no specs on the DX website.
Please provide more info..

The RC-C3 uses a CR123A battery.
Modes?
Twisty?
Will RCR123A work properly?

The RC-H3 uses an AA battery.
Modes?
Forward/reverse clicky?
Will 14500 fry the light?
Do the flats on the body stick out enough to provide anti-roll?
How sharp are the corners?

While some of the questions are answered in the sales thread on the marketplace, I had one of the P3 versions until recently giving it away. I really liked it.

It's single mode with a forward clicky. I didn't try a 14500. The flats don't stick out enough to provide anti-roll; maybe just a touch of the corners on the flats and the grooves on the tailcap providing a little bit of roll resistance. The corners are pretty smooth. I carried it in my pocket regularly without issue. It's moderately driven,so it won't be the brightest Q5 you have. I got about around an hour an a half on an eneloop before it visibly got past regulation and started dropping off sharply.
