I personally feel that the light is already outdated when it comes to lumens. The competition switched to triple XHP70, with the notorious Olight X7 pumping out 9000 lumens. The TM26(GT) steps down quite quickly to around 1800 lumens IIRC, and that is WITH cooling… But yeah, the beam profile is totally different from the rest; it’s actually a dang good thrower…
One of the nice things about the display is the real time voltage measuring; you can check out how the voltage sags under turbo. Old school protected Sanyo 2600 cells that I have are going to sag way more than unprotected 30Q. You know this is going to happen, but with this light you can actually see it on the display; how cool is that? Yeah I’m stoked alright.
I have the Olight X7, its nice but pure flood. Pretty impressive. You would need huge reflectors to get high intensity beam with a XHP-70. Even the Convoy L6 which has a huge reflector isn’t big enough to get the same throw as the TM26GT. The TM26gt is compact. I did wish it had something like 5000lumens though.
There is a TM28 on the way. 4xXHP35 HI for 6000 lumens on turbo, and steps down to 2300 lumens IIRC. Lux value is over 100k, but less than that of the TM26GT. They say you actually need high drain cells for this one to get the 6000 lumens. I’m totally fine (at the moment) with the TM26GT.
In the dark flood monsters like X7 are contraproductive when it comes to throw
They might light things as bright as a 1/10 power semi thrower but you cant see them because the wall of light close to you
they are so bright your night vision gets totally busted, while on a sharp thrower you can actually see things far away at a lot less lumens illuminating it
Well looks like the TM28 will be same chassis as the TM26GT. So if the TM26GT steps down because it cant handle the heat of 3500lm for too long, then the 6000lm will be even less runtime. Im happy with 3500lm.
Grat thing for Rofis discount,maybe they could push it little more,48$ is still expensive, but I have one in the box,and waiting your code.
Main reason I like it is the same UI like Olight M3XuT, actually driver looks the same….
Hey folks just added Nitecore TIP Christmas edition. Makes a great gift for all. This package has every thing you nee to use and run the light straight out of the box. Cheap price 22 USD…
