First post, though ive been lurking lol

Anyway so out of the following single AA torches, which one is the brightest/most lumens:
Mf DA1 q5

Ese lZ2 q5
http://www.shiningbeam.com/servlet/the-74/Ese-LZ2-Stainless-Steel/Detail
Romisen Rc-h3 Q5

Saik/romisen Rc-a3
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5338

I think MF DA1 beats saik rc-a3 and romisen rc-h3. So what about ese-lZ2? Is there a big difference.

Also, Romisen rc-c3 q5 (CR123A) is brighter than MF DA1 right. But by how much?(i know they have different batteries)

And out of the following AAA:

The RC A3 should be the dimmest. The Ese might be the brighter one. But overall, difference shouldn't be too big.

Of the AAA lights, the Aurora R2 should be the brightest. The WF602C you linked to has a last gen LED, so it is only half the efficiency of the current gen LEDs(Cree X-E, Seoul P4 etc.) Same power, the current gen LEDs will have at least double the output.

I have the Ultrafire WF-602C Cree P4-WC (SKU. 14067) and it is much brighter, better built and has a "whiter tint" than the "Aurora R2 buckle light".
I think it's a well made flashlight that feels solid.
Glass lens and aluminium OP reflector, o-ring sealed.
Very useful spill and nice spot, perfect as a keychain light.

What is the real runtime on that guy? I find it hard to believe that it really gets 3-4 hours.
