I bought mine from redlog on ebay for like $25. I just bought my son one as well. That is still my favorite flashlight I own with maybe the exception of the TR-1200 which is the better thrower. Mine burns at about 3.5 amps with Trustfire flame 18650 fully charged.
Don't know how many lumens it truly puts out, but I wouldn't doubt that it's above 700 lumens very easily.
Those poles are about 100yds or maybe 110yds apart. I just stepped it off to the barn from where I took that photo from and I got right at 440yds. Take off the 40yds for my discrepency and I would bet money it's 400yds almost exactly. But I do have a 200ft tape measure I guess I could tape measure the distance.
thinking about ordering one of these. how on par to the solarforce lights would you say the threads of this light are? bad threads are my pet peeve. i can handle scratches, uneven finish, but if the threads look like they were cut with a pipe threader from a discount tool store, i can't handle it.
It looks like the Keygos is also a lottery, the driver on mine is the green one not Black.
I Just swapped a Neutral XML on mine and will replace the driver with the KD 2.8A driver. This light is really putting out a tight hot spot equivalent to my X9 @ 1meter. Will be comparing both lights once I replaced the KE5 with the KD driver.
Ok I just charged my Trustfire battery to fully charged and took a tailcap reading. It started at 3.55 amps and tapered down to 3.05 amps and stopped. Maybe mine is just hotter. I don't know but I think this one puts out some lumens.
Doesn't the tailcap reading merely give you to battery draw, not the amount of power the driver is pushing out? Or is it safe to assume these numbers are similar, even without knowing the individual driver's specs?
