Inova X5

I just got my Inova X5 today from CountyComm. Wow! What a great little light. It's bright, puts out a nice white beam, and it appears to be very durable. I like it. I read that the batteries last 20 hours. Can anyone tell me if the X5 is regulated? Also, what are your thoughts on the X5?

The X5 is not regulated. It's overdriven, but otherwise indestructable.

Nope, its not regulated, its a direct drive, hence its esp good for draining out all of your used 123s.

On the whole, I love the light, its got a great flood which is useful for most purposes esp around the house and camping. Plus the 5 leds and the fluting on the body makes it look like a really cool, hi-tech light as well. Durability, of course is a good plus as well... It used to be my primary 'go-to' light in the house, but now I just can't keep my hands off my McLux... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Enjoy your light!

My HA X5 from CountyComm came today too!! I love it!! It looks cool (futuristic), seems very durable, and is pretty bright! As Stanely said, I plan on using it to use up my partially depleted 123s. Enjoy!

The X5 is not regulated, but is, for all intents and purposes, indestructible.
Let's see if I can dredge up a picture of one being run over...BRB...ahhh there it is:



In this picture, my X5 is being run over with a 400lb electric wheelchair.

The X5 is no doubt a good looking light. Also, regulation is not realy needed for lithium powered lights since those batts have a very flat discharge curve. I'm a fan of regulation, but only when needed. The X5 doesn't need it.

All,
My X5 is the one light I don't loan out.

Hope all is well.

The X5 is one of the few lights that I wouldn't worry about someone else being able to screw up.

The X5t is the light I always lend out when asked. I've made four converts that way. People seem to love that light; it's just so pretty! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have one on the way that I bid for on ebay, so its good to read peoples +ve responses. They do sound like a great little light. Of course as well I hope to feed it on surefire depleted 123's!
