Beamshots: AmiLite T5 vs. P1D CE & vs. LumaHunter M1

So which one is putting out the most lumens? Also, is the 30 lumen on low suppose to run for 10 hours or is it the other light with 15 lumens on low that is suppose to run for 10 hours? I am really thinking about getting the T5

Get 'em both as I just did! Is this the CPF we all know or what?

Feels very light in the hand.

Do you think it would work well with the optional cap holster or do you think it would be too heavy (remember the Hubble light?)?

Can an orange peel reflector be put into a P1D CE?
Does the T5 have a reverse clickie, or tactical clickie?

I am looking for a light to illuminate house numbers at night, sometimes at a great distance. Which would be better suited for that, the M1-Cree or the T5?

What distance

By all accounts I will have to say the M1.

Up to 30-40m.

Rolling: The M1 has more throw at distance...

For the LOW 30 lumen from the T5, would you say this is close in brightness to a Fenix L1P perhaps? I'm trying to get an idea of the 2 LOWs, the 15 and 30 lumens. Thanks

Gannz: personally I would not buy a holster for this little light, the holster is probably heavier than the light itself. Maybe it's good for a police officer but it's so easy to slip down into a pocket.

Ntal: reverse clickie

Lumenation: I guess around 5 hours with 30 lumens output

Did it come in a nice box with spare o-rings like the T3 ?

Supes: Yes, I would say it's pretty close to L1P brightness in Low Mode, maybe slightly less bright

Placed T-5 order confirmed Feb 28th 4:00am Arrived noon Mar 5 to
Vancouver Canada. The box it's in is the same as T-3
Wow the T-5 is very bright good contrast from first click
low 15-L second click Holy Moly (still love the T-3).

I would love to see a runtime on this light at all levels. I am seriously considering getting this. Is it as bright as the P1D CE and M1? Does it come with a lanyard? Do you like this more than the P1D CE and M1?

Lumenation: According to my eyes it looks brighter than P1D CE and M1 (smooth reflector), you can see it in the pictures...


larryk: Yes, it comes with two spare o-rings, unfortunately it does not come with a spare clickie like the D-Mini...

Just received mine T5, and am very impressed with it, nice colour and HAIII finish, amazing output, fits AW's protected RCR123A without a problem, though found it quite strange that the battery only goes in from the top (unscrew the head only, not tailcap?), the clicky is nice and smooth.

Here is some more beamshots, alla beamshots are about 1m from the wall, all flashlight is using protected 3.7v Li-Ion batteries from AW:
