Supbeam X40 - Infinitely Variable to @3K lms

That’s a real nice looking light. I’m going to keep an eye open for this one. Hopefully the price will be resonable for it.

post the beam shots please… especially against with TN30 :slight_smile:

That light looks nice! Can you take beamshots and pics of the inside?

What’s the lowest output? Thanks.

No beamshots, but here’s some inner pics:


The supbeam website says 3 lms, but I’d guess more like 20 lms. It’s really just right for me. I don’t have a light meter or any way of doing a measurement, so I’m just guessing.

So when it's on the lowest setting can you look at the LEDs without it hurting? I'm guessing not. :(

What do you think about this TM11 holster? It fits the X40perfectly, but doesn’t cover the tube entirely. My large Ultafire (not shown) does cover the entire light, but the flap isn’t long enough to close.

You guessed right! It’s a bit too bright for that.

Thanks for the pics, the insides look a lot like the thrunite’s. The battery carrier looks anodized, is there no flickering issues? battery carrier is reversible right?

How is the color tint on your light compared to the other ones you got? Colder warmer, more yellow, green, blue, purplish, etc?

No flickering issues, cool white very similar to SRK but slightly smaller spill and tighter hot spot for greater throw, beam is very similar to Terminator, but I don’t think it’s quite 3K lumens.

Battery carrier NOT reversible

is it brighter then your tn30

That's a great looking light!

NO, contrary to manufacturer’s specs, it’s not brighter than my TN30. But I can only do a visual estimate.

Thanks for your info and pictures! 8)

BLF is bleeding edge!! LOL :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you have any thoughts yet on the charger or where it takes the batteries? How does the light behave on less than 4 cells? :nerd_face:

Determined to keep one (and only one! :frowning: ) multi-emitter but want to try this one before thinning the herd…. :heart_eyes:

Hello,

just had a look at the Supbeam homepage and found they published how they tested the output.

These product would be the used light meter and sphere. Can anyone of you determine how accurate they are ?

Thanks - Rob.

Just wanted to say that I received a retail one (Nr34) today and a holster and instructions are included now.

It’s a brilliant light in my opinion, but it’s also the first big one I bought, so what do I know.

Yes, it is a great light and I have a dozen 3-xml emitter lights.

To Supbeam’s credit, they sent me a pdf file to me with instructions. No holster, though. I’m curious to see how the holster looks. Can you post some pics of it in the holster??

Thanks!

They must have changed this. You CAN look at the emitters on low, similar to the lowest level on the TN31.

A really low low, is a big plus for me. :slight_smile:

I am REALLY liking the colored charge-state indicator light; really hoping you never have to take the batteries out of this unless you’re feelin’ fiddly!

Going to be a fight between this and my TM15! I love my TM15 but have told myself I’m just keeping one multi-emitter.
Brightness is very similar to my TM15. 8)
ADVANTAGE: X40. The OSTS TN31 head is interchangeable with the X40 head, meaning I could use the X40s charger with the OSTS TN31 head and charge from the car or a wall plug.
