I think the x5's range as a weapons light is limited. I have four or five of them as general purpose lights...they are great lights.... but I would reccomend in that price range you should stick with a xenon....

Looking at the run time it does not look to be that bright. I guess I wanted to have my cake and eat it too.

I have an X5 and used it extensively when the power went out from Katrina. I'm still on the first set of batteries too. Glad i bought it. Great general purpose light. It's OK for navigation. Kinda like the dual LED setup found on Surefire's M500 and M900 weaponlights. But as a weapon light no way. It just isnt bright enough and LEDs generally suffer from loss of beam focus at longer distances that bulbs dont have.

Like the others have stated, the X5 is a great general purpose light but it is not at all suitable for weapons use. You will either need to consider a good 3w or 5w Luxeon LED system (the X0 is suitable) or go with an incadascent system.
