not tried the x3, but the SSx2 is more than enough

buy the X3 and let us know how you get on.

I fancy one as a bar light

also the bottom one will be like the XML T6 which has a very long beam, albeit narrow.

Not sure I follow the logic - they all use Cree XM-L T6 LEDs. I'd expect the top one to give a tighter beam, as the reflectors around each LED are larger, but it's hard to say.

Buy the bottom one because I want to see how long it takes to go on fire.

(tbh I suspect it'll be all sorts of bollocksed, the lifespan of the little battery with all 5 on full would be very short... I had a sort of similiar 3xXML light which got round this by, weirdly, never running all 3 LEDs at full chat- you could have 2 on full power, or 3 on reduced. Completely pointless. )

The X3 is more War of the Worlds. Get the Wall-E. Friendlier and more than enough light.

@pdw i'm basing this on the SSx2 having a super wide beam spread, filling the whole trail, and the XML T6 being very pointy.
