what makes the L2D so special?
The use of conventional AA batteries
that's why people are so "fascinated" about the Q5, since it cost way less that other Brand name products that cost $100+ for the same lumen
but as mentioned already, if you don't mind getting special batteries and charger
a P7 will kick the crap out of the Q5 and then some
