I've been playing around with a Q5 TR-801. It is a floodier beam than my L-Mini, bigger hotspot but less throw, which works better for most of my needs. It puts out a lot of light, but with little mass to soak it up, it gets hot pretty quick - no problem for extended use on my bike with the forced-air cooling, though. At just over an Amp, it should give around two hours near full output. The quality of assembly is so-so, and I had to take it apart and clean up all of the contacts, tighten the head and tail bits, but then it worked well. All of the parts are nice, glass lense and OP aluminum reflector, reverse clicke, but with a nice feel. Watch out for excess solder keeping a flat ended positive contact from reaching the board, I had to grind off a bit of that, too.
I wanted something more versatile, so I got a "16-mode" driver board for it, which is actually three user interfaces with the second one being just "lo-med-high", and I leave it there. All of the flashing modes are on the other two interfaces. It was an easy swap, and works nice with the drive currents at 70, 370 and 1130 mA. I figure that equals about 30, 6 and 2 hours respectively, depending on your battery. It should be a nice combination of features for night hiking on rough trails using medium most of the time. With the multi-mode board, I found that a sharp rap on the light would change modes, due to too soft of a tailcap spring, which could be a real pain when strapped on a bike handlebar. So I added a large solder blob to the positive on the board and two 8 mm magnets to fully compress the spring (longer batteries may need less). Problem solved. I was a bit worried about the magnets moving, but they can't slide over to the negative with the tall solder blob there, and with no endplay, and a slip of paper in the tube to remove sideplay, nothing budges anymore. Period.
Just keep in mind, especially compared to the Jett III Pro ST on your list, this light is the "poor man's" version. None the less, I like it a lot once I got done "enhancing" it. The L-Mini has a much nicer quality feel to it, and I did nothing to it but put a battery in it to start using it. I am looking real hard at that Jett III Pro ST as well, I like this form factor too. I just hope I have some $$$ left when (if) Fenix finally comes out with it!
