Hey folks this a remake of a Budgetlightforum made light the x5 this torch has the same specs and same maker just sold now under a different name now! For the price you cant beat the output but it does work on a lithium ion 14500. Great mode selections and super small and quite a good thrower for its size i have the X5 and i can vouch for it. it puts a grin on my face but you will need a 14500 IMR cell. this light is very high tech don't let the price fool you!

The link says usual price is $78 aussie dollars….

    I've got a couple of Keeppower 14500's. Given they are protected cells, do you know how close would they get to being able to push it to 1400lm? Also, no sub-lumen mode makes me sad.

    • aussieprepper on 27/04/2016 - 18:06

      How many amps are they rated to do continously?
      Even my Sony 14500 protected Cells go good I got 4 amps out of my Aw cells

    how much are the batteries?

    • CyberMurning on 27/04/2016 - 18:37

      And where to get them?

      • aussieprepper on 27/04/2016 - 18:39

        Have you both used lithiums before? Do you own a multi-meter?

        • Nilfunds on 27/04/2016 - 18:50

          do i need a multi-meter to use a torch?

        • aussieprepper on 27/04/2016 - 18:58

          @millusions: to make sure the batteries are charged at the right voltage so they don't explode and burn your house down.

          @aussieprepper: Cool. So an added feature of this high tech torch is it might explode.

        • thelastnoob on 27/04/2016 - 20:03

          @aussieprepper:
          With protected cells and a decent charger it is quite safe without a multimeter right? (good charger or torch can indicate remaining voltage)

        • jjcf on 27/04/2016 - 20:13

          @millusions: not if you use a non-shithouse battery charger.

          @thelastnoob: I would still prefer a multimeter to check…my nitecore D4 under charges by 0.2 volts and my nitecore um20 over charges a tiny bit 0.2 so even the best chargers need a checking. Then you turn into me and start secind guessing your multimeter

        • wattstar on 27/04/2016 - 21:34

          @aussieprepper: so what do you do if charger is out, bin it or can they be calibrated?

        • aussieprepper on 27/04/2016 - 21:51

          @wattstar: it really depends on the charger. Is it expensive? How much is out by? Can it be adjusted that usually mean changing values in resistors.
          My klarus ch1 is out by ahout 0.10 so it may charge to 4.30 volts

  • haz on 27/04/2016 - 18:52

    can you run normal AA's in them and still get light?

    • aussieprepper on 27/04/2016 - 18:57

      Nah voltage is to low.

      • haz on 27/04/2016 - 19:11

        thanks aussieprepper, looks like a very decent light running on 14500. It's good there is a 3B tint as well.
        I was looking at the Nitecore EA11 or the Nitecore MT10A, but didn't like the tint. However, it's good those two can run on AA batteries

        • aussieprepper on 27/04/2016 - 19:31

          Hey mate you can run both those lights on AA but they will run really bad. Nitecore have some lights in different tints. I'll try my x5 when I get home but im sure the low voltage protection will kick in. I was going to buy one of these a few weeks ago for a new EDC but they want like $70 but at this price its a must have… These lights don't have steps down its got thermal regulation So only steps down if need be….

        • aussieprepper on 29/04/2016 - 02:37

          sorry mate i forgot to check until now
          standard AA doesn't even light up the tail cap so no light what so ever

        • haz on 29/04/2016 - 07:57

          @aussieprepper:
          Thanks for testing it out, it seems like a really good light from the reviews i have been reading

  • Lionheart on 27/04/2016 - 21:20

    This is probably the best quality light to ever get posted on OZB
