Just ran across these at NGK. I went ahead and placed an order for the T20-Q5 Cree LED. Light runs on two 123CR's and has 5 settings with a strobe and SOS setting. The top output is 205 lumens for 1.5 hours and then down from there. Price is around $60.00.
anyone have one or know about them? I went to their website but not a lot of info. Good looking light though.
 
No one tried these yet? I've put a T20 and a T10 on order for the end of the month. The T20 uses 2 CR123's for a max of 205 lumens, and the T10 uses 1 CR123 for a ax output of 180 Lumens. They see to be priced the same as the Fenix lights with comparable features and I figure if NGK is carrying them they must be a good product.
 
i have one, and it is outstanding. great fit and finish...superb throw with good sidespill. i have been watching the Cree lights come out for the past year or so. i waited till i saw one with decent throw....and most importantly, no issues. over on CPF i haven't found even one bad comment from users.

it would be absolutely perfect if it would take 1 17670 cell, i understand a new model WILL take that cell. we'll wait and see.

Folks...Olight is the new Fenix kid on the block.:eek:

Thanks for the info bill. I've never gotten one of the Fenix lights but if the Olights are comparable I guess I'll pass on the Fenix. Man this flashlight thing is as addictive as the knife thing!!:thumbup::D
 
+1 for Olight

I own and use the Fenix P2d Q5 and the Olight T10 Q5, and I like them both (these are the single cell CR123 lights, not the two cells like the T20). The Olight has better throw than the fenix IMO, with a really tight spot, but the Fenix is no slouch either. The Olight also has a lower low mode than the Fenix, which I like.

I think my Olight's finish is not as durable as the Fenix, though both are said to be HAIII anodized Al. The Olight seems a little easier to scratch up...this may be just my experience or my particular lights. If you don't plan to drop yours :) then this is not an issue, is it?
 
Dang! I was hoping against all hope that it would be a 'Western' Alternative. Bummer. Hey fellow Americans/Westerners! Make us a light!
