As I said in my previous post; Which one should I choose?
I'm not really sure what a lot of them mean and how they differ.
Any info would be appreciated :)

Hi Gun,
Nobody is going to make your mind up for you on exactly which
light to choose because it depends on your own preferences.
If like me when I first started out, you want just 'Sheer
Brightness' then go for this one
HTML http://www.fasttech.com/products/1601/10002364/1212400-convoy-m1-cree-xm-l-u2-1b-2-group-35-mode-900lm-le

/>(assuming you're choosing the M1)
If you would like a more natural tint (closer to a halogen
headlamp) then you should go for this one
HTML http://www.fasttech.com/products/1601/10002364/1212409-convoy-m1-cree-xm-l-t4-7c-2-group-35-mode-led-flas

Bear in mind though that the lower temperature range (measure in
'K' Kelvin) the less output of light, albeit nicer to look at
over long periods of time and 'usually' a better simulation of
real colours.
Those I mentioned above range fom the brightest to the lowest in
output (Lumens)
Here is an article you may find interesting. Don't try to
understand the technical jargon too much at this stage, rather..
just have a look at the numbers in the tint graph to give you
some idea.

Choosing a light is never easy.. choosing 'The right light' is
harder yet.
Also, have a look here and you can choose to compare different
tints of the same light side by side. While you won't find the
Convoy's listed there. The concept is the same for all lights.
(also the tern NW mean natural white) this means it's closer to
simulating normal sunlight (with slightly less lumens output)

Hopefully that will help you decide. And remember... if this is
your first light, you're going to be happy with whatever you buy
(most likely)

Everything you've linked and said here has been very helpful,
thanks very much! ;D
Although sheer brightness does sound good I think I'll go for
the natural tint one. But I think I'll go for the 2800 mA one as
MRsDNF said that I should get that one. So unless I change my
mind, I'll most likely be getting this light tommorow:

Excellent choice of all those items from an excellent supplier.
Did you choose the T4 7C ? I mean that is the lowest output and
while it offers the warmest tint, from my experience the T6 3C
is a good combination of a little extra brightness while still
managing to maintain a fairly good natural tint.
For a closer look at the M1 check out JohnnyMac's awesome review
here

Go with the t6 3c. It's a more natural output compared to the
others. The t4 7c is really yellow and, despite what many
think, is not a high CRI emitter. The U2 1B is brighter than the
T6 3C but unless you have both and compare them next to each
other you won't notice the difference. You will notice that the
3C looks far nicer both indoors and out. Get it with the 2.8a
(8*amc7135) driver. ;)

Hello Dale! We sure did ;D
Thanks for the help guys, I was going to ask if the T4 7C was
going to be too yellow.
So I think I'll go for this one now:

Awesome! I just purchased the light, batteries and charger!
Should arrive in 10-14 days, can't wait! ;D

Well done Gun. I'm sure you'll be rapped. I'm betting this will
be your first purchase off many. Fasttech is the fastest off the
chinese shops to get things from China to Australia. I've had
shipments in some cases delivered in a week.
