that was my point
I am just going off what I have read, I don’t have a shocker. I do have a King clone FWIW.
I saw your post saying basically the same thing after I posted. Evidently I type too slow. Three posts showed up in the time I was typing my reply. Lol.
Joe - As manxbuggy1 and Haterade said... But also the new stock Shocker comes with an AR lens which it didn't have originally, so the new BTU driver/CW ones I've been testing stock are doing over 3,000 lumens - 800 over the king, and the throw, for get a bout it.
Fine. I can resist no longer.
Batteries. Dont forget batteries.
@ Rusty Joe……
Buy the friggin’ thing!!!
It will put pretty much any light to shame, including the ‘king’.
…the ‘king’ is dead, long live the king.
Maybe the MT-G2 version is coming……. 
I want one off those but if it was it wont be $99.00. :_(
I just ordered one, Cool white BTU Driver. Now the wait is on!!
You could’nt resist a great deal could ya?
I was this close to buying a used TK70 off of ebay before I seen this post. I did the math and chose this one due to taking 18650’s and I don’t have to buy 4 more D NIMH batteries and a new charger. It was a no brainer for me. I just hope we like the BTU. I’m sure that we will.
No I couldn’t… 
Everyone raves about it so it’s gotta be good. Love the idea of 18650’s also I hate dealing with the D’s. Does anyone know how long it takes to get an order from them?
He usually ships DHL so seems pretty quick, forget, but like 10-14 days maybe? The light is a beast - I like to compare it to a HD 2010 on steroids -- it's simple, over-sized, but gets outstanding results. Battery carrier isn't at the same level as a TN31, TK75, or even the new 7G9v2, but it's not awful budget either.
What puts it over the top now, I believe, is the real AR lens shipping now -- my tests show a definite bump - two Shockers I tested with the new AR lens get over 3,000 lumens stock. It seems to be better than the UCL/p lens, unless it's variations on my side with the lightbox, or other production mods I'm not aware of, dunno.
Thanks, Sounds awesome!!
Without doubt, go for the NW! I highly doubt that the brightness difference would be noticeable, and the fantastic color rendition with the NW definitely WILL be noticeable.
Is the Fancyflashlights website down? I haven’t been able to access it all day.
its down for me
Worked for me just now.
Did anyone have any problems trying to check out? After I pick the US as my country I can’t pick anything in the next two blanks. So where does the city and state go?
Yes. They told me don’t select any of that stuff on the top drop-down (and do not put in a postal code) and just enter your full address in the address box. Then it goes through.
Okay, thanks! 8)
