Well Now I Know Why Folks Like The BTU Shocker So Much

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…

Hey Brad, I got my Yezl today too but haven’t had a chance to unwrap it yet. How does it compare to other throwy lights?

Ok here’s some good shots.

All these are on man 1.2 sec shutter f/4 ISO 400.

I’m just gonna post all BTU Shocker photos.

110yds

210yds

445yds

300yds

220yds Look how it lights up the road.

Hi,

The 110 yard and 220 yard shots look alike?

Very nice, Brad! The barn shot looks extremely bright. Now out with it...which lights the barn better? The TK75 or the BTU???

220 looks darker. I think it's cropped or zoomed to show the same area as 110.

I compared it to my old picture of the TK35 and it’s quite a bit less than it.

I’m gonna say it’s around 20,000k/cd.

I took a picture at 110yds with the YEZL X8.

Nothing to brag about for throw. But up close it’s one heck of a light.

Now you’ve gone and done it, ILIKE… Got me really interested in a flashlight I don’t really need :wink:

Btw, how noticeable is the ramp-down after 3 mins on maximum?

I never did get it to ramp down. So I don’t know. I know I had it buring for over 3 min.

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.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the Shocker threw further than a stock TN31.

So now that you have both the BTU and the TK75, how do they compare?

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.

Now let's do a mousever and mouseout. Mouseover TN31 mouseout BTU Shocker

Amazing Light!

I would love to see a mouse over between the Shocker & TK75!

Maybe later. I’m pictured out right now.

Johnny,

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.

Get your eyes checked. LOL!

Trust me they are what I say they are.

Ya’ll gotta learn to trust Daddy… He’s got you…. Lololol
