That does look like a sweet deal. The thing I liked about the TK70 was use of normal batteries. (well, normal NiMH rechargables). I guess they figured most people that buy it werent so worried about that and already had LiIon chargers and batteries.
I wonder how hard they really drive the LEDs? I doubt its 4 Amps per LED.
Interesting choice they made to go w the big capacity of the 26650 cells but choose to cheap out the emitters a bit, s/b L2 or U3, no? And unlike FF or Int’l no product champion to give the details on the drivers (as per the BTU).
Looks nice, wondering at the overall quality and all those little details…
I was just about to pull the trigger on BTU Shocker, but this makes me reconsider whether I should wait the BTU Shocker’s price to drop down a bit more?
I'm definitely wondering about quality after looking at this picture. Look where the spring in the bottom of the head usually goes. Nothing there except something that looks like a solder blob.
Am I missing something, because I don't see any dimensions on the head or reflector? It looks pretty big though... 2 critical things for it to be in the same league with a Shocker or TK70 or TK75:
- dimensions of each reflector, width and depth
- power applied to each emitter
I can't see anything on the dimensions - I don't think that 4A is per LED. Under-powered U2's isn't much different from under-powered T6's. Interesting though for modding.
