Throw Nightcore extreme/D-mini digi Q5 anyone own both?

voodoogreg · Nov 9, 2008

I am struck between these two light's, I need a real good 1X123 thrower for my purpose but after a lot of searchs can't really find anything comparing throw between them. I love the rugged extreme built and compatability with E-series SF's, but imagine the smooth 'flector D-mini 175 lm model will probably throw more. anyone own both? Any other's to look at?

My main critria are RCR123 compatible, 2-3 levels, and ya, throw. VG

I have both, And I like the Extreme over the D-mini because of the switch on the mini just does not work well ( maybe just mine). Take a look at the jetbeam II IBS also

I have both, and like the Dmini better. No switch issues, seems to throw a hell of a lot farther & you can run an 18650 battery with it when you don't need the small package.

Battery Junction has them.

It would be well worth your while to take a look at Selfbuilt's "1XCR123A/RCR Roundup" review in the Reviews section.He has throw numbers posted for many of the single CR123 lights including the D-Mini Digital and Nightcore Extreme.Very informative thread, it is still on the first page.

OCD, saranic, and ZMZ67 thanks for the heads up. I will look at those lights that thread. Keep'em coming.... VG

I just got the Nitecore extreme, it is bright!! Even a bit brighter than a P2DQ5 in turbo, also throws better.

In my opinion this light is a lot more goodlooking than the D-mini (which can be confused with the DX mini 3w flashlight).

Yeah, I've got the Nitecore Extreme and it is one bad-a$$ looking light. Throws well too...
