I'm going to go with the Hi-Flux 100. I looked at some other ones today, like the L&M Stella 180N, but i'd like to be able to use rechargeable AA batteries, and it doesn't sound hard to do so with the Hi-Flux. It should have enough light set up stock, I guess:
But is this Cree Q5 upgrade hard to do? I don't really have electronics experience, my knowledge in soldering comes from jewelry making
it would be nice to try, at least.
