as the title states, i have a romisen rc-I3 that i would like to drop a Q5 into. what i want to know will the driver handle the Q5? will i see a noticeable difference? i have an N3 with a Q5 already, so i will have a reference for brightness. thanks!

I was looking for a Q5 version of the RC-I3, too. I've seen both pills, the RC-I3 and RC-N3, and they SEEM to have the same circuit from what I remember. If they are, then it should run a Q5 fine since your N3 is already doing it. Just out of curiosity, does your RC-N3 pill fit into the RC-I3?

I don't think the brightness will be directly comparable since the N3 reflector is set up for throw and the I3 for flood.
