The supertac x is supposed to be 65 lumens brighter than the original supertac but they are both so bright its hard to tell. It really does shine 400 meters confirmed by a rangefinder out to 350 meters. The low setting is nice for up close work as the full power of the light will overwhelm you. My biggest concern with the light was not knowing exactly how the multi setting switch worked as there is no precise info on that anywhere on their site. With this switch you dont have to cycle through all settings to get to off. You lightly tap the switch to enter the mode you want then go straight to off from there. The regulated runtime is nice as the light will not shut off on you when the batteries get weak. The low setting has an 80 hour runtime. With the proper mount i mount this on my dpms ar15 under my magpul moe forend. It handles recoil well and shines right where my reticle is zeroed. For the price you WILL NOT find a light this powerful and light weight. The lifetime warranty is also a bonus. I own 2 and i will buy another as i phase out all the other junk lights around the house.
