Why not? Nothing to be ashamed of :+1:
That is Cool, so are you going to do the passaround here in the States??? 
:+1:
Alex, I’ll shine it your way, you grab the beam…
Well, mine is cooler, 007 :person_facepalming:
Was quite surprices from the lumen output/candelas too yet DB Custom mentiones similar results…it seems that its a secretly bumped revision…lets hope they wont “nerf” the next revision.
My idea was to open and mod it asap but it so great …and the reflector is so good…i wonder how long will it last this way.
A great hunting offhand torch indeed, especialy the NW- when i ordered those the tint was only cool white yet its aint cool but more or less like 1D
By default they aint that bad, even non modded, even paired with an XHP0 emitter, the “cross” is very small indeed by default and the CDs went from 62k up to 90
Then again it needs tuning to be as the L2 one but i am pretty sure Simon will manage it
Hnnnnnng. I feel a sudden urge to replace my K70….
Interesting, I forced my internet to open the Taschenlampen page again and guess what? They have many pictures of a Thrunite TN42 SN:BM09 00002!!! EXACTLY the same as mine! Huh? Is this the actual pass around light that was in Germany?
<—- scratching head
LIke 3 months ago BG were cleaning their EU warehouse and i got several M3X- they got same serial numbers , all of them…
Maybe its a glitch in their system, maybe its a mistake….who knows, yet i am pretty sure yours was not just for the tests in Germany , that shipping all over the planet would nuke its final price.
Does it have “”chips”, nips or something? Usualy TN torches come in a perfect shape
I don’t have a K70… but I sure am feeling an “urge”……… :person_facepalming:
What to do, what to do? :money_mouth_face:
Very strange indeed. My light is marked exactly the same… but in a different place!
At Taschenlampen their light is marked on the ramped portion of the head, between the bezel and the housing or pill section. My lamp is marked on the bezel.
And here is my light, with the same technical text but placed differently… (mine has the ROHS designations, a production light, while the sample pass-around light does not)
The TN42 in TLF is damaged at the XHP-35 and has a mark on the reflector. So it can`t be the same one in your hands.

My battery carrier has blue pcb’s and the black connecting rods don’t have the writing on them.
Just tried a beamshot that didn’t work out. My wife and I staged out a mile on the country road in front of our house. I was shooting at 320mm with a quality lens, but using a tripod that wasn’t up to the task. My better tripod is set up for quick release plates on my other cameras, this camera is relatively new and I haven’t gotten the plate for it to mount to my better tripod.
AND, unforseen… the gigantic Sodium Vapor lights at the Distribution Center further down the road were directly behind my wife at the mile mark, blowing out the picture such that I couldn’t see her at all in the shot. So I got nothing. But, talking to her on the phone while we were doing this, she said she could look at the piece of typing paper I printed BLF on and see it plainly from my TN42. So there was light hitting her at a mile that she could read by. I just couldn’t get the shot from a mile away.
My wife’s testimony though is that it WAS actually hitting her with notable light, from a mile down the road.
Edit: Picture… I’ll have to find a more wide open mile long stretch for this shot, next time I’ll use my carbon fiber tripod too.
Simply amazing……… :+1:
Something stock that performs as well as my modded BOSS1 with a dedomed XPL V6. Interesting... With 2S2P cells, it would need a buck to work with a dedomed XPL, which we don't seem to have for an e-switch light. I would expect better throw in the TN42 with a dedomed XPL running over 6A.
wow, its really big 
Dale , can you send me the link you got the flashlight from ?
I saw you bragging on the “noticeably brighter spill” elsewhere and this puzzles me. In actual use at the distances the light is capable of, a light that is made for long distance throw is best not having spill. With this “noticeably brighter spill” the eye is filled with close up illumination and long distances cannot be made out, completely destroying the intent of a long distance thrower.
It’s really difficult to look at a picture taken by someone else and comparing the light to another picture taken by yet someone else. The only real way to know how the K70 compares to the TN42 is a side by side comparison. Everything else is simply conjecture. It would be like me saying you must be bald because you chose a user name starting with the letter s.
As far as the serial numbers and text changes go in relation to cloning… I bought the light directly from Thrunite.
George, I bought mine directly from Thrunite when they announced it. Literally the same day they announced it. I did a pre-order and used their 20% discount code.
So I had to go look up the AceBeam K70.
422Kcd compares how to 602Kcd? 1400 meters throw to over 1600?
I guess if someone is comparing the numbers on a website, just reading, it looks pretty close. Build a light that makes those numbers, tweak a light from 400 to 600, it isn’t as easy as it might seem.
I personally do not like the magnetic ring switch. I have a K50 and the magnetic ring function has given me issue. I primarily can only use it now in Turbo. SupBeam, AceBeam, whatever they’re called now, it’s a decent light but also pricey and that magnetic ring thing just blows it for me personally.
Other than that I suppose it’s just a personal preference as to style and weight, design, and yesterdays best thrower vs todays.
