Hi all,
I'm new here :wave:, have a couple of questions (probably dumb newby questions).
I have 2 LED torches, for hunting. The first is an Ultrafire C8 which has a cree Q5 and
2 x 16340 batteries it has a reflector type head approx 45mm diameter.
The second I recently purchased, a EDI-T P15 it has the XM-L T6 and one 18650 battery, this one has no reflector but has an "aspherical?" lens.
Now for my questions..... The newer torch seems to have more output, but less distance at 10 meters there is a bright 2 meter square illuminated, the original seems to have a more usable 'spot"and cetainly illuminates further.
EDI-T are soon to release an updated torch with 2 or 3 18650 batteries and slightly larger aspherical lens...
OR
Ultrafire now offer the same C8 torch but with the XM-L T6 LED and 1 18650 battery
Which would be better for me?
Is it the battery, lens/reflector or chip that makes the difference?
Can I buy a XM-L T6 to put in my Ultrafire?
Hope this all makes sense :sick2:
