Damn! Already got the K40 XM-L version. No real point getting another.

or I’m sleeping on the couch tonight! For the luckier ones…here’s a nice pic :

You got any beam shots woody? What’s ur overall impression of the light?

8

I could be wrong (hopefully) but that' doesn't seen right.

Also which version of the XML2 is being used? u2, u3?

10

everything i have read has been positive. i cant find a k40 xml2 for sale for comparison but HERE

11

Hmmm. Single XM-L2 with a 76.2mm head. Could be quite the thrower.

12

according to _the_ 's throw calculator in my sig, it would be around 618m throw.

13

Thanks FP for the link. Looks like a good thrower. Is it worth ~ $100 retail? What’s she normally cost?

Edit: you guys talk/type too fast…lol.

14

the l3 k40 with xml is about $120. its just a rebranded supbeam

15

No beam shots, but I’m very impressed with the light. In fact, even my wife was impressed when we took it for a walk with the dogs one night. A few profanities were uttered at the sheer throw of the thing. :slight_smile: It’s really well built. Very useful for spotting badgers (the first live one I’ve ever seen). The dogs were impressed too. :stuck_out_tongue:

I paid $90 shipped if I recall, and it comes with a Thrunite aluminium case, which is a waste, imho, as it also has an OK holster. I had very good communications with Supbeam (I bought it direct).

I’m puzzled by the lumens though - looks like a simple 20% increase in the XM-L version - calculated, not measured, I reckon.

16

Thanks Woody….now off to resisting I go. :smiley:

17

man i just joined for about a week and i think i’m going bankrupt soon with all these gbs lol

18

I’m in if the deal can.

19

yeah it probably is just calculated. I will find out what bin LED it is.

a couple members last week recommended i try for this light for the next one. they had quoted something like $96 shipped for 50 pieces. so i said thanks but no thanks basically.

they contacted me last night and wanted to do something, this was the best i could work out. i was shooting for a bit less, but they would not budge from this price

20

Can you ask them how hard the LED is driven on max also?

21

give me a min, i had seen how hard it was driven somewhere

22

I’m pretty sure it will be 3.5A.

23

Too expensive for me, I have no need for this…
