Or get a better version of it from a US dealer who posts on this site regularly for $18 more.

Nice work MoseM. Looks like a well made piece of kit.
@Bose - oddly enough for Europeans getting stuff from China is often less hassle (customs seems to take more of an interest in transatlantic parcels).
@BanglaBob - I tend to agree - the SupBeam name is horrible.
Still, interesting light - as is Jakes.

I would if I could, but shipping costs from the USA is a killer! Something in the region of 50 bucks

way too many similarities with thrunite tn31. check out the pix from:
ThruNite is on a roll lately, first the Flood King and now the Thrower King. They have made a name for themselves with the throwing ability of their Catapult series but the competition has stepped up their game so ThruNite has gone back to the drawing boards and released this monster with a massive 79mm (3.11in) head and super smooth and deep reflector to take on all challengers. Let's see what they have in store for us. [image]

i’m starting to believe that supbeam is the OEM for thrunite. of course both parties probably won’t admit it. and of course supbeam will have to tweak around a bit with the CNC program so that the two won’t look too similar. the internals seem to be fundamentally the same, just tweaked a bit…
is this a K40 or a TN31??? don’t be misled by the color LOL
what about the MCPCB and plastic centering disc?
BTW i just received my K40. quality is excellent, easily at par with fenix, 4sevens, et al. way way way above XXX-fire levels. i would even dare say it’s a bit better than 4sevens…

I think I agree. Supbeam states their OEM capabilities here . I realise that just because someone on the internet says something doesn’t make it true, but there’s too much of a similarity for it to just be a rip-off. Anyway, I’ve taken the plunge and ordered a Supbeam. Just need a bit of black duct tape to block out the horrible name
here’s another supbeam product, the scorpion LOL
view of the tail. someone please tell me this isn’t a Scorpion LOL
i’m convinced now. supbeam is indeed the OEM for a lot of thrunite stuff :nerd_face:

The Supbeam L10 isn’t a million miles away from the Thrunite T10 either. I think the firefly modes in many of their lights is a bit of a giveaway.
eddit>> woops, you are on the case!

I posted a couple size comparisons in this thread
. Test sample showed 80k lux @ 1m but that was at a lower drive current. We’re hoping for 90k in the retail model or maybe even more

The Supbeam / k3 illumination k40 look like a tn30 reflector and led with a tn31 body and head the only difference I noticed was the tail cap

is the reflector of the TN-31 and K40 the same size and depth?
