I'll be taking the Malkoff Bodyguard (600 lumens/7,700 lux), which is my primary EDC light, and the M61T head on a MD3 body (450 lumens/12,000+ lux).
FWIW, I am not in any way disputing what is being posted in response to my observations. I think I am to blame for failing to better explain the reasons for my interest in this instead of just focusing on my observations.
In regards to the X300 (which is what this thread is supposed to be about), I had the older X300-A (300 lumen) version and it was an excellent light. The beam was very focused almost to a fault in having little effective spill, but it sure did hit the target with plenty of lux. I truly regret selling it as it would be perfect for what I am currently looking for: a high quality light with the A-style QD interface that I can slide on the PPQ when comes out of the holster at bed time.
I'll circle back around tonight or tomorrow after I have a chance to absorb today's training. I hope no one took offense at my lame attempts to discuss this subject matter as it was most certainly not my intention to argumentative or seem disrespectful of those with far more experience.
