Pros: PERFECT! Fits most pills, color is snow white! Absolutely kicks ass over other Q5's, including certain Romisen lights from another vendor...
Drop dead easy to install and/or upgrade/swap your current emitters. In many cases you won't even need a driver change. Simply pop off your old one, plop this in with the proper thermal paste/epoxy & solder your leads.
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: So good I've ordered more & plan on replacing the ones in the mentioned Romisens... I have a C3 that is a horrible green, & the F4s I've already upgraded blow away those other F4 Q5 lights...
In fact, these Q5s have the best & cleanest output of ANY Q5 I've seen to date!
Bottomline: As long as DX keeps up the quality from their vendors I'll continue to buy 'em by the handful & upgrade/swap...
very powerful led

Pros: it is one of the brightest leds available on market with excellent rate of lumens per watts. as an issue of it i consider it overpriced a bit. doesn't have any greenish tint, clear white luminescence.
Cons: it is quite expensive for such a thing as just a led, even a bright one. it is very devastating if you want to buy several of these to combine them in a cluster.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: it is thought to be one of the best solutions to have it installed it romisen rc-g2 with more powerful driver. the main trouble that you can face is that romisens are sold glued now and it is difficult to remove original leds from them.

Pros: Ordered 3 for a bulkrate price and have installed them in a Romisen RC-N3, an Ultrafire WF-606A and a Romisen RC-G2 (moved to an XJC B-6).
All three are performing well but I have noticed a variation in the cool white tints (XJC is white, RC-N3 is blue and 606A is purple) I wonder if the reflectors could have something to do with this or if it is just variation in the bin.
The RC-N3 by far gets the most use and so far it has not degraded or burned out.
Cons: I dislike the tint as things look washed-out outdoors due to a lack of green (and red too, probably).
Other Thoughts: Can transform sup-par output to acceptable.
Bottomline: Cheap cool white Q5's.
Nicely made emitter

Pros: Great emitter, easy solder points, bright white light with either 18650 or cr/rcr123 cells. Dome is made of glass, and is clean and clear as a bell. Fits in a variety of applications with ease.
Cons: Not a one.
Other Thoughts: Looks exactly like the pics. Dropped perfectly into sku 11622 P60 after the reflector pulled the emitter puck off the base. Paired with sku 3256 puts out nice white light with no hint of color.
Bottomline: Great emitter, well built, great price; buy 3 or more and save a little and have a couple of great replacement emitters for projects/repairs.
