2520 lumens… Niwalker keeps on impressing me… And the price… Just nice 
Would be even better if we could get a discount code for it from somewhere.
I had bought a K70 several months before with a coupon,at a very good price,but this door is closed now for ever.Unfortunately.
Now 159.95$ at hkequipment, i remember it being less than that (wasn’t it something like 129 ?) last time i checked :cry:
Yes, introductory was less. When I saw it, I think $134.99 and used a 1x 15% ebay code for 114.7 from HKE. A week or two later it was $159.9 any and everyplace. I got lucky. So far though, it looks like a nice NW alternative to the K70 which is $179. typical.
I know that Martin has a deal for the BK-FA09S,but I have both a K70 and a TN42,so I pass this one.
Yep me too, but IF it was a E-switch light, I would of snagged one up! :+1:
Are you still digging the BK-FA09 ?
Recieved mine yesterdy 
Wow, this is a real lightsaber compared with my Olight SR91 :+1:
I must say that I recently picked up this hobby after a few years and the only thrower I can compare with is this Olight sr91
First impressions, nice light and the magnetic power ring does the job nice.
Light came with a little humidity inside the reflector? So after drying no signs inside the lens when power up.
Battery carrier is the most fragile part I believe, put some Efest IMR 3500 mAh inside and this is damned a tight fit :rage:
Had even to tighten the screws that holds the battery carrier together.
Wonder how long this carrier hold together, also you must be very cautious when removing the battery’s you don’t dammage the top of the battery!
Springs in the carrier are very thick and stiff.
Overall very, very impressed by the performance of this light!
got mine too and totally agree on all points!
i think i change the springs to thinner ones
due to the 4S i am not afraid of high Amps
+1. The holder is a battery vice. I saw on another forum a pic where someone’s carrier simply busted apart when they were trying to get the cell into it. It’s not what’s mean by tight tolerances. 
Does this light step down? If so, how long can/does it run before having to do so? And can you tell when it does?
It has a temperature controlled step down, I would say it steps down to approximately half output, when the temperature has dropped it steps back up to max again.
+1
How long does that take to happen?
depends on the surrounding Temp / Wind since its a true Temp-regulation i´d assume
I got mine in the post today and a quick temp/lux test was the first thing I did.
The light was sat in my bathroom with no airflow. Around 7mins30 it decided to drop down to the next lowest power. I didn’t interupt it as I wondered if it’d come back on its own - it didnt. I turned it down a mode and back up, nothing. I turned it off at the bottom switch and back on and it was back to full pelt.

Thanks for testing it. I’m partial to this light. I think it’s a good alternative to the TN42. Stepdowns just sooo tick me off.
I just received one of these monsters but none of my Orbtronic cell fit as they are all protected.
Can any of you wise folks recommend a model number for an Orbtronic 18650 cell that fits?
Lateck,
Let me give you a little battery advice…When I first started out in the flashlight hobby, all I purchased were Orbtronic 3400mah protected cells. They are just re-wrapped Panasonic cells with a protection circuit added and sold at a premium price…nothing special. I’ve got 12 of them just sitting in their cases and only used every once in a while. I’d recommend buying protected Panasonic batteries from elsewhere since you can get them for about $3-$4 cheaper. I’d also recommend either button top Sony VTC6s or Samsung 30Qs for your Vostro.
