Powerful LED flashlight with CREE Q5

In the course of the reviews and to provide their own passive safety, I was commissioned in the lantern on the high-power LEDs CREE Q5, which generous dealer offers a complete whole slew of utilities such as: the holder on the steering wheel, extension tube under the battery size 18650 and compartment for three batteries AAA. An overview and testing of this wonderful flashlight, I propose to read this article.

Performance Claims

• LED: Cree Q5
• Housing material: aluminum
• Modes of operation: full power, half power flicker (strobe)
• Power supply: 3 batteries (or battery) or 1 AAA battery type 18650
• Size: ~ body diameter 26 mm, length of lamp 100 mm ~, format by AAA and 3 ~ 110 mm, with an extension ring for 18650
• The maximum distance coverage (in a focused mode): ~ 200 m
• Current consumption: ~ 1000mA

Equipment

• LED CREE torches (without batteries)
• Extension tubes (for mounting the battery type 18650)
• Compartment AAA batteries
• Holder on a bicycle wheel (with spacers under the different diameters)
• Lace (like on the wrist, but too narrow for this)

Test Results

• Compared with the usual reflex, this flashlight provides uniform light spot all over him at range. Despite the power of the stain and illuminates the road, while riding a bicycle, the road is clearly seen in the spot light, and beyond.
• Mounted on the steering wheel I did not like, because the design looks flimsy and material of which it is made, too, are not credible.
• LED Power imposes certain restrictions on the duration of the work, so the best option of its power - it's all the same battery 18650. AAA batteries, it seems to me, actually use only as a backup power supply.

Conclusions

LED is really powerful, and the ability to focus, too, cannot be called useless function - using a narrow beam to the roof finishes and 16-storey building at a distance. So the conclusion for me is simple: you want a cheap and powerful flashlight, take this. BTW, you can select the CREE flashlights at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other lighting accessories (e.g. the 10180 battery charger) there with high quality and reasonable prices.
