Review: Black Shadow Terminator 4*U3/4*18650

Yes, and two other examples (allegedly U3’s) are at 2400 lm. My tailcap current readings back those numbers up.

As my Terminator is between Fenix TK70 and Trustfire X100(3*26650), so she should be within 2000 to 3000 lumens. Again, this is very subjective as different person or different led tint will have different perception.

How to do a simple relative lumens comparison without sphere?

I measured the lux on mine… 30,000 lux at 1 meter. Definitely not meeting published specs.

That is really low. I remember mine throw as good if not better as stock Trustfire X6.

Per the sales Rep on cpf - no plans for xml2.

Got my 2nd Terminator. It is fun to carry two of them though both hands are occupied. I like her handle with button so much.
I pointed both of them side by side close to each other on the wall, intensity is indeed perceivably double, and size of hotspot also double. Damn! Where is my lux meter. It means my original idea of 5 Terminator might beat Foursevens XM18, wonder why they put 28*18650 in it, maybe it is for fan as things got very hot. Now my thirst for Olight X6 is gone. And the question is do I want to get another 3 Terminator, can’t find a standard low cost mounting for 5 yet. And I can get RC40 for that money, I must as I have already skipped TK75.

You could build something like this for the price of one Terminator… 15,000 Lumen Bridgelux C9000 Light Engine

I am at the moment application level, can’t find time and energy to do DIY. I am sure I will face a lot of failure if I can ever make a 15000 lumens light myself. Thanks for the link though, you are definitely expert designer of lighting instruments.

Thanks very much! Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.

Excellent review. Props! Bumping because this is shamefully on Page 3. :wink:

Thanks, Joe! :8)

I sure wish this didn’t have the handle…

My exact same thought when I first saw this! Could this be used without a handle?

Other than the handle, I think this is a great light having a great review!

I just got this light the other day and I loooove it! Gorgeous. I don’t even touch my TK75.

Oh come on now.

Hahah I was a bit over the top. I just haven’t had time to play with the TK75 outside. Can’t wait for that! I am sure that will change everything. For now, I just love the looks and quality of the terminator but both are equally great.

I’m sure it’s a heck of a light, but I was just gonna say the way you stated that earlier would mean it would beat the TK75 in all aspects including throw. And we know that ain’t right.

Oh heck no haha. TK hands down! Love that TK but I haven’t been able to unleash its true power yet lol. Something about the quality and aesthetics of the terminator is just a bit more attractive to me. And the size. It is absolutely tiny for the output.

The tables may turn when I get to turn they TK onto turbo in the great outdoors!

You guys should try with 2x Terminator outputing 5000 lumens. I attached them together thought just for experiment, but 10 days ago until now I don’t want to take them apart. No more darkness in front of 2x Terminator.

ERMAHGERD.
