Cree Q5 LED Flashlight

Today we take a quick look at the Cree Q5 LED Flashlight, these can be found all over for $4-$5 a piece , sometimes less if buying in lots. This Flashlight uses a single AA battery to power it's quite bright single LED. I understand they are about 7 Watts. I shot this in my home studio using the Sony A7 and used a Rode SmartLav+ Lavalier Microphone plugged directly into the A7 to capture the audio. It would be nice if these could accept CR-123A batteries at 3.7 volts , this already bright flashlight would be even brighter. It's become my everyday carry now, it's a nice size, focusable and not too heavy. the barre is a nice looking machined aluminum I believe. This video was lit with a single Neewer CN-160 LED panel with the Orange/Yellow Warming filter on it, lit from my right. The lens used is the Tokina 28-70mm F2.8 ATX lens on a Sony LA-EA4 adapter. The lens is set at 50mm, shot at 1/50th of a second and wide open at F2.8
