Greetings,
I have a SF 6P/M61, (other SF) L2P/NB XR-E Optic, Tiablo A7, and EagleTac P20C2MKII NW.
Still, my best thrower has got to be the LuminTop TD15x.
I haven't crossed over to rechargeables yet, and run all these on SF 123 primaries.
I've been wanting a Catapult, but short on discretionary funds for a light I probably won't use THAT much. As such, I've been considering a Seraph MiniTurbo D36 head with NB SMO XR-E, or an SF Masterpiece head, for an L2 host.
I just found a Lumapower MRV Q5 on DD for under $20.
(I ordered it before putting this out there - don't know if there are any left.)
Their site says 1x18650, but I read a review where it throws much better on 2xCR123.
I know it won't throw as well/far as the MP-1 or the Catapult, but from the reviews I've seen it'll keep up with anything less that's not Aspheric (DBS, A10, etc.)
Am I missing something? Is there some caveat I should be aware of with this light (particularly on CR123's)?
Or did I just get the deal of the century?
Please, share your thoughts. I'm so excited to get a "real" thrower from a quality company for so little, I can't even contain myself.
Merry Christmas to Me! (And to all of you, too.)
- Tom
