TK75 vs BTU Shocker - Let the battle begin! (NEW UPDATE ON POST 125)

I don’t know what goes to the emitter on the TK nor do you. And I don’t know what goes to the emitter iphone the BTU. I just know you don’t get 975otf with a XML U2 driven under 3a. Find me ANY example of this - I dare you.

I tell you what. Lets just call a truce on this thing. Your not going to convince me that the TK75 is driven less than 3A. And I’m not going to convince you it is driven a minimum of 3.5A. You like the TK75. I like the BTU and the TK75.
So lets give this little tit for tat up. Deal :quest: :quest: :quest:

TK75, if your 975otf is real.

Why so insist until spreading wrong information about TK75, of course mostly it is that reviewer misled you. It can jeopardize TK75 if others think that it is driven to 3.5-3.8A per led. Not everyone like such configuration as it will harm LED. Of course, some people here would love to see Fenix drive TK75 harder.

No, I won’t make a deal with you as it is not right. For god sake, I just taught you how to read volt-current graph without trashing your many years of experience testing flashlight. Wake up!

I can promise you if anything, this thread has helped TK75 sales. I wouldn’t want one only driven at 3A. I would actually prefer 4.2A.
And NO mis-information was put out by me on the TK75. I get my data scientifically. No guess work.
Anyway, read my previous. Lets stop this crap. It’s not helping either the BTU, the TK75, You, or me.
We are at an impasse. Truce?

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Well one thing we can agree on is the TK75 will hold its sale value a lot better than the BTU Shocker.

This is my last statement on this thread. Period.
You are wrong. You proved yourself wrong on your previous graph. The TK75 is driven at 3.5a at minimum. The lumens prove it even more so.
You keep bickering with yourself. I’m done.

I think Jesus has a TK75…I’ll ask him.

wellllll…i asked…. and his response was” “I’M not tellin’” 0:)

I am done either. Else things get out of hand when getting emotional.
Thanks to your testing and reporting here. As I’ve said before, not many are willing to test and report.

I am with you Dale! I don’t even really understand the graph. All I know is I love my TK75 and like you wouldn’t trade it for anything. On the other hand I think rdr’s BTU is also an awesome light and do not understand people saying it is not living up to the hype. What kind of numbers does this light have to put out before it wins the respect of the community. Those who own it know it is a hard performing beast but yet a lot still think it is an under achiever. I think both lights are great. It really doesn’t mean anything to me which light is considered better. In our tests the TK75 won one contest ( lumens ) and the BTU won the other ( throw ). I would say that it is a draw!

Sorry guys . Not trying to drag this on. I am a slow typer. Ya’ll posted 10 posts while I was typing it out. Lol.

One more test to go for the final battle. SC600 vs TF50 style. Ha.

Sorry but we don’t own either one of those. I do have the small sun zy-t29 which is a far more budget offering along those lines and I doubt would compete with either.

yes ,the DRY DRIVER should help put more out of the big mouthed BTU

I ordered it more then a week ago and it hasnt been shipped yet! CN quality goods customer service is terrible these days

Someone read it on the internet. It must be true. :wink:

Now I have to buy a TK75.

Owning a device that can bend the fabric of space/time is worth whatever they charge.

:slight_smile: Thanks for the review and information about the BTU Shocker vs the Fenix TK75.
I ordered on last Friday and get it to morrow by DHL.
Maybe Can I tell all of you more over the BTU after while using the flashlight.
The BTU cost totally 152 USD with DHL shipping 4 business days or shorter.
I read more review…. and very happy to chosed for BTU. It is the heaviest flashlight in the world! The is no problem for my. The TBT is bigger (biggest) for this moment. I liked it very mucht. Thanks for the review again.
Someone likes Fenix TK75 and I like BTU Shocker no problem! You make your choice, so I did….
Have a nice time for everybody.

welcome to blf pedro :)

Well that was interesting to read… There is something that both “confronted” sides are missing. Look at this post Results: Direct bonded XM-L emitter to Copper mere difference can be caused by different mcpcb between fenix and btu. I’m not familiar with driver/wiring of both but I think we can all agree that fenix has much more experience in that field and it’s driver is probably more efficient. On top of that optical losses are also major factor… I’m quite sure that both flashlights are brutal but there are differences in a way they achieve this.
