Peak LED Mckinley 7 vs Inova X-5T

Bushman · Oct 14, 2004

I would assume that the Peak LED McKinley 1x123 with 7 LEDS puts out overall more lumens than the Inova x-5T but I also understand that the Inova is overdriven and the Mckinley is underdriven. Does anyone know which one puts out more lumens? and

Which would YOU prefer to have?

I have an X5 (not the T version) and I like it a lot. Does everything I'd want it to do. I have several Peaks and I think they are a great product, too, although mine are all single LED models. Very nicely made, and I've heard nothing but great things about the snow LED's.

I have the Peak 7 LED 123 Hi Power and the 5 LED AA Hi Power. The Inova X5T puts out more light than the Peak 5 LED, but less than the 7 LED.
The Peak 5 LED is a great light in AA due to cheap batteries, only a little less lumens than the X5T.

I just asked Peak about a ultra power McKinley, here's the specs; 126 to 154cp, Add $5.00 extra, Runtime is 1.5hours to 50%. Thinking about getting one myself.

I didn't know there was an Ultra power version, but I have the High Power, and it does not look brighter to me than the X5T, they look approximately the same.

The Peak, has a head that is a little too loose for my tastes, and I don't like the tail, which has a nubby with a key-ring thingy. They don't really show that in the picture, and I think that is a little deceptive.

I would be interested in an Ultra Power version. Does anyone know if you can get it without the tail nubby?

Wow! I just discovered that the Nubby unscrews, leaving a flat base /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

If you check out Peaks web site they have some cool clamps that screw on the back.

How about a Red Peak Mckinley VS a Red Inova XT-5 ? Which of these would be brighter?.....William

You can fix the "loose" head by wrapping some plumbers tape around the threads.

I have both, go with the peak. For the size & finish(I have the brass hi-power with snow led's) it is an awesomw light. Output is similar on both, but the peak is so much smaller & the snow led's are so white.
