Supbeam K40: A Quick Pictorial

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

First post updated with some takedown pics!

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.

Let's not forget that it's driven harder as well !

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

Just had a quote myself - $98 shipped to UK.

Where do I get this light for $108?
I want one…

way too many similarities with thrunite tn31. check out the pix from:

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 :wink:

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:

aka the Thrunite T10

even the product descriptions are almost identical :nerd_face:

: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!

how about a link?
thanks

I posted a couple size comparisons in this thread

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?
