Has anyone compared the Old Surefire Lux5 to new P4 model brightess, is the P4 actually the same brightness or brighter.

Also has anyone compared the Current measurements?

On LED museum the old Lux model was:
32mA
63mA
121mA
258mA
569mA
1,374mA

No measurements, only impressions of a U2A vs a bright U2:

The U2A's hotspot is a tad hotter but the corona smaller and the spill a bit less bright, making the contrast between spot and spill higher which is not as easy on the eyes as the U2 and which has a little less optimal field of visin mid range.

Otherwise, the U2A has a way lower low than the U2 and thus a greater dynamic range, and the runtime is estimated to be doubled on all levels, which is a bif plus.

Tint seems to be more consistant, too, but I don't really care for that and didn't pay attention.
