Where is your sense of humor “hahoo”? Not only disrespectful to me on CPF,no sense of humor either! 
I’m thinking of getting a 2nd TN42, would the CW be better at cloud-lighting than the NW? After all it is a cooler temperature beam that works wonders at illuminating fog than a warm one.
Cooler tints tend to have more backscatter in general, and so probably would illuminate the surface of a cloud more. When trying to illuminate solid objects to view them, this is a disadvantage, but it might well work better for that.
CW has the most throw and lumens, NW loses some ground on it in sheer power and downrange punch. It was the CW that I tested at a mile.
Thanks for the advice. Was torn between the personally better tint of the NW and the cloud-lighting and power of the CW. Guess i’ll be having a CW this time!
Thanks for the advice. How about 95% denatured ethyl alcohol? What’s denatured even mean anyway?
If memory serves, 70% alcohol, often labeled “Rubbing Alcohol”, has a small amount of oil in it to not be as drying to the skin. The easily found 91% isopropyl should leave less of a residue.
I’m with you. I much prefer neutral tints. I am working on a Neutral tint TN42 mod for release soon. It will out throw all the TN42 mods to date. Including the CW versions. And this without the lumen penalty going to a smaller die. So best of all worlds. 
Cool! Were will you release this or unleash this?
Like Saturday at the Drag Races huh Scott? 
OMG Lumens…. and omg throw, combined. That is what I am interested in. You have my attention. I just saw your post about this item in the other forum. Please keep us posted.
Hahaa great analogy, cutting lights, 60fter’s, but let see what it’s got on the Big end! 
On my website. onestopthrowshop.com The site is admittedly very barren ATM. For about 7 months now I have been in an intense research phase. No time to make lights. Been working on fundamental technologies to enable a new generation of lights. Something special. It has gotten harder and harder to stay ahead of the game. I really have no desire to push high volumes of product. There are some things that can only be done with time, patience, and a deft hand.
Before my flashlight era(BFE) I started a company to make mod and racing parts for Saabs. Saabs were my chief love at the time. My wife started to get spooked about liability however so I pulled out. I have always had a deep love of engineering and I am glad to have an outlet for this in flashlights. As I have said before I will do it until I get bored. Ten years in now and hasn’t happened yet though.
Nice to see you Michael! :+1:
I am Capolini’s twin,wolfdog!
I know one thing The OSTS TN31mb that you sold me had the highest lux of any!! It was the last one you sold after the run was done………470Kcd. I bet you could get that up to 600Kcd + with the improvements over the last 3.5 years.
I admit,I have used that same bragging line about 4 or 5 times now!!!
Yeah I made the connection with you “two”. Recognized your dog.
That light could get up to about 650. There are some serious limitations with that platform and available LEDs that would prevent me from going higher. Same thing I have been struggling with trying to create an upgrade path for the DEFT-X and Victor line.
1 mill lux or more ?
vinh has a tn42 thats over 900k lux now, surely your not going to let him whoop up on you! 
900k with a XHP35 or with a different LED?
This is what intrigues me the most, seen/read of some of your work with LED’s! :+1:
XPG2 S4 Dedome i think
Well, as you can see from that link some random guy did a lot better than vinh…
