My guess is ~ $600. Definitely pretty light though. 
I find it weird they didn’t make the reflector larger to keep up with other companies’ megathrowers.
Seems a bit underrated. 90mm head should do more than 1.5km.
90 mm is in line with their biggest lights, I wonder if that’s intentional to use the same head design or meet some manufacturing or shipping maximum. Maybe that’s the largest bar stock they have on order lol.
My guess is that their primary audience is more main stream than flashaholics looking for ultimate throw. For the same reason Nitecore lights like a lot of their Tiny Monster models are cool white only.
It looks a lot more nitecory than the K75 that looks oh so very acebeamy.
I am waiting for multi-SBT90.2 lights with amply diametered reflector wells in hugely diametered head flashlights.
I think the price point will be richardcory.
Put a de-lensed SBT90.2 in a TM36 4800lm 730kcd the stock driver wasn’t up to the task so I used a Q8 driver…Pic next to de-lensed FT03
Needs more batteries. Might buy that battery pack 
…
Looks like you made this light before Nitecore did!
:person_facepalming: Been messing with it since Sept/Oct 2019 when the SBT90.2 was the rage, tried boosting the stock driver so I could keep all the electronics… just a PITA pulling everything out and putting it back together, like 5 levels of electronics and switches have to be routed correctly to fit all that shit’in a tight space and not cut/destroy/fry anything, what a nite mare of an assembly process… :rage:
Then the mechanics…. machining the copper heat sink, fitting the mcpcb, tabbing the contacts, positioning the Copper threaded Heat sink LED/mcpcb, focusing, machining the reflector, (because it was threaded into the head) to help facilitate focusing… :person_facepalming:
But it’s done, works very, well pretty happy with it and the reflector is still pristine….
Two likely deal breakers. The cost, but especially the fact that I never had and never will have a light that has a proprietary battery pack.
Who wants to depend on the manufacturer for these outrageously priced packs when we can use our own high drains for a much, much lower price?
But, what if the price was 59 bucks with free shipping, for the lite version of course?
$59 seems unlikely to me…
I’m glad they have one option with sealed cells and one with a pack to serve everyone’s needs. I’m also happy to see they seem to have used the UI from the EC4GTS that I loved.
I think Astrolux has one light also,with this led.
$59?! You can not even get a proprietary battery pack for that price!
Guaranteed they are over $100 to replace. At least for the TM39.
I forget which Olight it was. It cost ~ $120 to replace the battery pack for a light with similar size as TM39.
which light?
FT03S
So does the Nitewatch NI40-5000L/250Kcd for only $69. My favorite smallish light.
FT03 a nice small/mid ranged light
That light is coming up at $200 CAD for me, is that accurate?
^ Definitely a lot more expensive than similar lights with something like an XHP50.2 emitter. There is going to be a decent discount with a code, but I recall the light still being fairly expensive at around US $90 (with code).
So definitely not cheap, but I believe it’s a killer emitter.
So also in the Nitecore TM38 the Luminus SBT-90.2 LED has been implemented. Was it worth it? Since the price has now quite increased, what advantages are there in the TM39? Well, now the beam distance goes from 1400m to 1500m! As much as 100m more!!!
Unfortunately, in order to achieve this extraordinary improvement, the output had to be almost tripled (1800 —> 5200) so now the runtime is quite shorter and the light gets hotter. In addition, you can no longer run the turbo indefinitely. These are not upgrades!
But what is the criterion adopted by Nitecore for this new version? $500 for a 1500m thrower when there are on the market some lights that cost half as much and have an almost double-throw (Acebeam K75, Lumintop BLF GT90). Moreover, an increase of 100 meters is not even noticeable.
Warning: the specifications read that the Turbo and High values have been measured by deactivating the thermal control, so we do not know how long they actually last.
