Well the carrier is ok. Once you get all 3 batteries in it. But the design lacks on stopping the batteries directly in line with the contacts. But that’s not a big issue. But it is there.
I got some great shots. These turned out super. I love this old Fuji camera I got. It rocks for taking beamshots. I’ll post them in a bit.
The Old Fedex Man popped in on my yard as I was watering. Yep, carrying the old BTU. I charged up my HP Laptop pulls, some nice Sanyos, and the battery carrier leaves something to be desired, pretty sloppy, but it works. And the damn thing is bright, just lights up everything. However, I just did my MT-G2 build, and with two Laptop Sanyos charged to 4.2 volts, in an Ultrafire X8 clone, using a DRY driver on Turbo, drawing 4.2 amps at the copper wired tail, I am running 28 watts, and it is impressive. The BTU is impressive, and so is my little MT-G2 DRY busting butt…oh, it gets warm quick…
This BTU may out throw my TN31’s. I posted the picture at 110yds in my XM-L thrower thread. Now I listed it before the TN31. But going on the pictures there, the BTU looks brighter. Go check it out. I’ll have to compare them head to head. Let me go take a picture my 115,000k/cd TN31 at 110yds. We will see which one looks to bet the better thrower. But looks may be deceiving. But I don’t know. That shot at 445yds and 300yds looks very good on the BTU.
Yeah, I didn't need this either. If I get one, it'll be with the DRY driver and swap in XM-L2's on copper stars. I really don't need this...must resist.
I would still have to choose the TK75 over the BTU Shocker. You got a lot less weight in the TK75 and a lot easier to carry light. But I will tell you right now this BTU Shocker fooled me on how great of a light it is and how well it throws. I do think it will out throw the TK70. No doubt in my mind.
As to the ‘ramping’ down. It does it very gradually., Not like the 70 when it kicks down. The BTU is so gradual. Its not noticable to the eye. A meter is needed to notice see it. Great thread bro
Thanks Dale. Now I can say I am glad I bought this BTU. I love it man! It’s better than I hoped. I think it does beat my TN31 in throw. That BTU is just awesome.
